Very happy with the new 31 livery's. 31423 in IC Mainline for me, saves me a respray now 407 is also nice, may just be able to fit that in, being repainted circa 1995... As for coal sector, already repainted a couple of those...

20064 is nice in green, but it's a shame they can't release a twin pack with 030, but to have 030 a retool would be required as it had larger cab side windows.

Cheers

Just one word, disappointing...

Not a single transition model, in fact as far as steam goes, the only loco due to arrive reasonably soon is the 4F, with J39 and 5MT moved to mid-2023 and no dates yet for the Fairburn Tanks.

I think we had all hoped for (and possibly even expected) some coaches in the more common liveries, but no, not a bit of it, in fact nothing new rolling stock wise at all.

With re-runs of steam locos in OO (some with a sound upgrade) Thompsons in maroon and a new-tool loco in OO9 I think it feels safe to conclude that N is third priority for Bachmann Europe now, behind OO and OO9, I really can't read things any other way.

I have looked back my email trail, and I find that it was August 2021 that I wrote to Bachman (Richard Proudman), with regard to the lack of coaching stock in N gauge, particularly MK1 and MK2 stock. I also questioned Bachman's commitment to N Gauge in general.  I Was assured that Bachman were taking N gauge seriously and was assured there was significant investment being made.  It appears, now, that he was referring to the Class 90.  Whilst this was a very welcome and significant project for the era that it fits, I fail to see the point in investing all that money whilst providing nothing for other locomotives to pull.

I admit, I don't get it.

Say what you will about Dapol, but they do regular runs of coaching stock. It's just a shame it's not Maroon Mk1s - How long since the last run? at least 5 years?

If I was starting out in modelling railways today, particularly in the green diesel era, I wouldn't entertain N gauge (why would I, when all I can buy are sectorisation and post-privatisation locomotives?), and I'm carefully considering whether I continue with the gauge at all now - at the very least I need to downsize my modelling ambitions in respect of future projects.

Northern Belle BG is announced in N as a Collectors Club exclusive. The only piece of hauled N stock.

Thank goodness these manufacturers are trying hard to relieve me of my savings and supporting the Steam and Transition eras:

Dapol (GWR Mogul, SR BB/WC, new run of Class 33s)

Rapido (Classes 28 + Conflat P, Classes 44, 45 and 46, SECR designed wagons)

Revolution (Class 120 and 128 Transition era DMUs, LT Underground trains, K Type Pullmans, Class A and B tanks)

Sonic (GWR 5101 Large Prairie, LNER J50).

Union Mills (can we have a new Southern 4-4-0 please)

I only need Farish as a source of chassis now, for my U-boats (U and U1 2-6-0s (Thanks @Highland Handlebar))

Cheers
Bob

All those locos and nothing for them to pull

[emjaybee]

I find myself,...

...underwhelmed.

Sadly, as usual.     

[Newportnobby]

Must do better, Farish. 1 out of 10 for effort. 0 out of 10 for listening to what people want

[joe cassidy]

Maybe Farish are scared to announce the latest prices of their coaches ?

[Bob G]

Perhaps Farish are simply responding to the age-old gripe that all you see on model railway layouts are Mark 1 coaches!!!!!
Or perhaps Farish believe Dapol are flooding the coach market (not with high-window Maunsells, they are not!)

One of those Intercity Mainline 31s will certainly find its way into the stock box!

just glad that I bought too many when they were affordable, ie years ago

£180 for a DCC ready Goyle means my wallet will remain untroubled, sadly.
