ITS THE FINAL COUNTDOWN! NEW FARISH CATALOGUE 20TH JULY!

[Adam1701D]

Nothing to get excited about, really. No class 40 or Colas 70, as everyone was predicting - just some SECR coaches. I guess the Chinese labour problems

NSE Mk2a coaches will be welcomed by many but why no BFK or FK - it won't be possible to build up a complete rake. Still, it will mean more sales for ERG 

The Scenecraft stuff looks great until you see the price tag. £20 for a static caravan and £90 for a low-relief cooling tower....that's going to put the range out of a lot of peoples pockets. (including mine).

I really don't mind what Bachmann post details of, it's actually what they do that counts so I'm still waiting for the revised BR Standard 4 tank engine which at one stage was in front of the Fairburn and the N class, preferably in BR "colours" ie dirty but if pushed any colour will do.

Must get back to painting the hall, stairs and landing and then I can write some more about "Yeoveney" which is long off the radar!

Happy Modelling,

Mike Beard

Are there any other colours than BR for a Standard 4?

To miss quote Monty Python's Albatross sketch its a BR STANDARD 4 its BR STandard 4 flavour...

It would also have been nice to have a summary of all the new items listed in the new product announcement.

Have a look here, sorry to link to another forum guys -

Shouldn't all these new announcements be on their own website rather than on a third party forum at least half the modelling community probably don't use? (me for one!) There's very little on the Bachmann website from what I can see


Paul

If you go to their website and click on the product categories,  NEW is written on the left against the new items. I think that other site is juat grouping everything together.

[Wingman mothergoose]

It's all good if you like or model pre grouping southern stuff, what about the rest of us? ;-)

I'm shocked at how expensive that power station stuff is though! It would look awesome as a corner feature on my layout, but I can't justify the massive price tag! The GC signalbox and water tower are a tad more affordable though, as are a few other bits that will surely be finding their way onto Sherwood Central over the coming months if I can lay off buying locos!

Well I have had a CCT, City of Coventry and Blue Peter on back order for some time (at older prices!).  These announcements will not cost me anything new unless I go mad and update my 20 and Std 4 Tanks.  This is unlikely.  If they had announced a Craven (105) in green, things would look different.  My wish list is probably sufficiently obscure that it is not likely to be met by RTR.  Back to butchery of kits and RTR.

I'm disappointed there's no class 40 but happy about them doing the blue class 47  #47096.  Also pleased they are doing the MK2A TSO again in blue/grey as they disappeared rather quickly and I was only able to get 2 rakes.  I did see mention of a power signal box but have not seen it yet, that's something I am seriously interested in.

I am wondering what the cost of the power station pieces will be also, I saw mention of 70 pounds for the cooling tower alone     

I just saw the Power signal box and it looks good, I'll also be wanting a couple of the shunters messroom they are releasing.    Boy that Power Station stuff is going to add up.

[mr bachmann]

well at least the US stuff comes ready fitted - even if its crap decoder . its still saved you £$£$£'s

£134.95 recommended retail price for a 2-car NSE 101 DMU ... that is if it's released before next year's price increases which could be another 20% rise on top.

Even with the max 15% discount for the first 8 weeks of release, as per their trade terms, it'll still cost £114.71.

I'll be much more cautious about what I'll buy new this year.

For a long, long time the lament of a Southern modeller was where is all RTR stuff for us? Now we're finally getting some good product channelled through everyone else is complaining. Who'd be a manufacturer...

[ScottyStitch]

I'm reasonably pleased with the approach this year. Clearly it's an attempt to catch up with what's been announced previously, rather than adding to the back log.

It's good to know that the A2, Coronation, COVHOP and Class 25 aren't now far away from delivery. I'm delighted that there's to be a rerun of the 101 DMU, and also pleased the 20 is re-released, albeit in factory weathered........

Lack of progress on the Merchant Navy is disappointing, but you can't have it all, especially when my layout is a couple of years away from being runable.

[Stevie DC]

Phewww! My wallet is safe for another year then!

That being said that A2 is very tempting for conversion purposes! 

[Portpatrick]

Ill add the 105 front to my prints for november release... You will as with the 416 have to butcher a 108 though ...

Now that sounds very interesting.  I built one of Ray Evans kits of this some years ago, but if I am honest, I made rather a mess of it.  Hand Tremor notwithstanding It is not up to my desired standards.

Very fair point Talisman.  I am no southern fan but I have had my fill of goodies many times in the past.  Good luck with and enjoy your turn!

My own blue sky wish list covers items such as the Scottish build K2, the Stanier 262T, one or two of which ran from Dumfries shed, and even a 16XX Pannier to recreate the Dornoch Branch train in its later years.  I will dream on and consider butchery options.
