Bachmann/Graham Farish Summer 2020 releases

[njee20]

The CJM ones are just a specially commissioned run of HHA hoppers (used by Freightliner), at the time they were TOPS code JMA. Technically they should have a variant of LTF-25 bogie for NP use.

After storage the JMAs were rebuilt with TF-25 bogies, recoded HKA and gradually repainted into DB livery where they were used on aggregate services. The NP ones were heavily faded and had their logos painted out. Based on the OO gauge ones Bachmann have done a good job recreating this, clearly reflected in the marginally higher price.

This wagon is a completely new tool, which seems bizarre given how similar the HHA is, and the fact there are a lot of aggregate (or other) wagons they could have done instead! Plus the fact the pristine National Power one still isn't right as the bogies are wrong.

I've an early crest 8F on pre order so that's good to see. However, I also have pre orders on for:-

371-606 -  Warship in plain green
374-885A - LMS 50ft full brake
374-038A - MK1 BG choc/cream

and they're not mentioned :'(

I am seriously considering a split head code Class 40.

Only problem is deciding Green, Blue or both

It's all very well them talking about their Summer 2020 releases, but I wonder if Farish still plan on releasing all their 2019 releases any time.
