Bachmann N Gauge Announcements 2026-1 Incl Baby Deltic

[Carmont]

Headline from this quarter's announcements is that EFE are releasing a Class 23 Baby Deltic in multiple examples.

Other items of note are two-car Class 101 DMUs in Green,  blue, and Regional Railways colour schemes, including sound examples, TPO carriages, and GBRF HYA wagons, and 8 plank private owners wagons (4 examples).

Was going to say the Bachmann announcements was poor for N.

Farish only doing new run of (sound fitted) 101s, some postal coaches, old coal and modern coal hoppers (GBRF).

But

EFE have announced the class 23 baby Deltic, which is good for some?

Actually putting some perspective on it, look at all the "obscure" diesels now being offered?

A few years ago, having class 17. 23 and 41 in N gauge would have seemed a little far fetched!

Graham Muz on RMWeb (Kernow product development chap) has stated that the Baby Deltic does not use anything from the previously touted DJM project, which suggests that Kernow are responsible for bringing this model to EFE.

Every EFE box I have has "distributed on behalf of KMRC" on it so much to thank that retailer for.

Been after a green DMU for a while so that's welcome and will find a home for a 23 too.

So for me, when I add in a 46 in the post somewhere too, it's a good day to be in n gauge.

An NEM coupling upgrade to their MK1 suburban would be a welcome future move to tie in with the Baby Deltic

As the djm 23 was merely at a CAD stage I would be amazed if it was used as a basis, we saw with kr and the king that buying CAD's from someone else does not always work, easier to start again. But hopefully EFE will work through the DJM plans and a King and Q6 might yet appear
