The new 08 & 09 Shunters look stunning, the Railfreight one in particular caught my eye 🤩

[@modelrailwaynoob]

I wish you'd split the gauges/scales into different films. I'm not the slightest bit interested in N gauge and I am sure some of the N gauge people aren't interested in OO. I have ordered two PCVs. Love the choice of passengers in coaches. Please do that for locos and in particular steam locomotives with drivers/firemen etc or add a few £s to the price and include them in the box.

That regional railway class 117 os quite exciting!

[@IC-qf7ev]

Hoping something unique or something 90s onwards modern era

[@user-ue8rj5he9w]

Yet more Routemasters and more GWR. What we need in the NE is local buses, in my case 1950's to early 1960's Stockton and Middlesbrough Corp. Does anyone from Bachmann read these comments?

[@ianroper1960]

Totally agree with you. I long for a "proper" blue Middlesbrough Corporation bus. Lledo did a single decker years ago...good livery but I never saw the Boro have a bus like that!

[@pigeonliveryworks]

I agree to , id like to see more north east buses. Especially the ones you said.

[@trerod]

Wish they would release a S.R./ LSWR 56FT/brake composite push pull coach.

[@EllieMaes-Grandad]

Another opportunity missed by Hornby.

[@Wickford_N_Gauge]

Still hoping for a Graham Farish Class 37 in Rail Operations Group Europhoenix livery 🙏🙏 even as a collectors club edition 🤞🤞

[@NewController11Productions]

What about Bachmann Narrow Gauge 009 Range?

[@Lennon6412]

Some good stuff in there

[@binglebeee]

Probably a bit soon to hope for more NG7 and I can see that the 009 crowd are also chomping at the bit for more, but I hope the QHs and dinorwic wagons sold well enough to justify more in the range and maybe a collectors club!

[@grumpygit-sv1cg]

It's about time you did a LMS push-pull coach to go with the 1P😊

[@GowertonParkway]

When are the original batch of 31s due ? Feels like they were announced ages ago .

[@joalkers6948]

This month I believe

[@BachmannEuropeOfficial]

Hi @GowertonParkway, the 31s are in transit as we speak, we were due to receive the first versions this week but that has now been pushed back to next due as is the situation with global shipping at present. All being well they will arrive and will start to be despatched from Monday 19th August. Please accept our apologies for this delay which is frustrating for everyone. Many thanks

[@stewartmarshall5853]

£395 for a OO gauge loco and I thought Ogauge was expensive

[@andybear7850]

I’ve changed to o gauge, oo gauge isn’t worth the money anymore

[@shnorth888]

High prices are nothing new in North America. A dcc and sound equipped loco runs in the $300 to $400 range. Prices are certanly getting high no matter where you live.

[@User-3O3]

As expensive as it is, O gauge is actually very good value in comparison to OO and N and you get a lot more model for your money.

[@Haymarket47]

great to see a green cl 121 again,! and look forward to the 08.

I am definitely picking up the 20t in BR grey, here is hoping for a couple of steam-era Bauxite ones to go with it next quarter. They are hard to get a hold of.

[@marksinthehouse1968]

I think the RES driving cars will be a good seller bring ex Royal Mail I saw these alot at PRDC and the 121 in white with blue stripe is one I’ll be getting too 😊

[@keaganwright124]

I had a spark of hope when I saw the Hall but then quickly realised it’s the ancient tooling that doesn’t even have tender pickups. It’s nothing compared to the Hornby Railroad one! Cmon guys you could retool it and redo the Modified Hall aswell while you’re at it!

[@Madonsteamrailways]

By the way, I’m looking for a Bulleid West Country Class locomotive for my layout. To be great on my layout, it needs to be DCC Sound fitted.

[@kevinblakeman8858]

Nice to see the class 117 in BR blue and a 2HAP in blue would have been nice as well

[@david103857]

What?! No RES 08 to compliment the Mk1s?! At least it spreads out the cost! Please do consider RES and Intercity 08s for the future!

[@markwhittle8242]

About time the western got a look in. After all these years but yet more ne and lner. More western please.

[@James-Akers]

Great set of announcements, lots of stuff on my shopping list

[@Alpha-oo8]

I say, I wonder when we will hear some new narrow guage news… you have two different scales for it, after all, I wonder what’s in the works?

[@asp383]

Need more Southern in N gauge please. DMU 3 car 205/207 Oxted/Hastings Thumpers in blue , blue/grey or even later South Eastern colours, still some sections of Southern region that aren't electrified. Maybe a Gatwick Express or Brighton mainline too, for more up to date layouts. I don't know how much call there is for Southern locos and carriages, but with currently a very limited range and older models hard to find pre-owned (4MT with tender), even if old tooling, would be nice. I don't mind basic Railroad spec either, if it keeps costs down, especially as my layout is analogue. I know it keeps production costs down to keep the same models, but vary the livery, however, it doesn't really help us with our layouts, especially if we want to do a more specific era/time period and region.

[@t9south]

Almost 10 years since its introduction and still waiting for a LBSC E4 in wartime black.

[@Madonsteamrailways]

I have an antiquated Bachmann model of Pitchford Hall. Are you considering making a sound chip for this old model, which has now been painted black like the real thing?

[@pauldyer3312]

Nice to see motorised underground 🚇 stock, but nobody does the full length of 7 cars. Is that a problem too do.

[@kennethmcintyre2847]

Unfortunately another round of announcements that have not wetted my appetite. From classes 08 to 91s, not counting steam, I have 155 of your fine examples. All bar one 66, Evening Star, a special and a few 57s, have sound. I was hoping to hear of the Class 20 appearing in Balfour Beatty livery to compliment on display my Barclay Hunslet pair. I did expect to see a BCC passenger coach, which was missing from the previous announcements. I have all your previous releases. Of interest are the four Toad vans to add to my current collection of 23 named areas.

[@karenvaughan2066]

The class 117 looks great, will we be seeing it in N gauge please?

Showbus is Sunday 29th, not Saturday. See you there.....

As usual GWR and coaches and LNER what about the other regions for steam. I don't do steam, I m a 70s child so diesel for me, yes we are well covered until you do D.M.U. or E.M.U. something new would be nice a 120 or 124 or electric 302 310 or even a 317 anything but not a class 117 and 08 that only rivet counters think we need a tooled model of.

[@SprattyHeath]

A decent announcement to say the least. EFE PCV & the 1962 stock are without a doubt the highlights for me, plus the 20T LU Barrier (more LT related stuff to add to the collection) Gronk livery selection is nice, but it's not honestly amazing. All rather standard and boring. I look forward to seeing the Class 69 which I hope will be in the Winter announcement.

[@MSR_Studios]

No new 009 locos😐. That sucks...

[@markweightman3805]

Still nothing for years for the 00 Steam enthusiast...a 20 year old Hall class doesn't cut the mustard these days , when pretty much every other 4-6-0 GWR loco is newer (Manor class, anyone ?) , and cheaper, no doubt. When is Bachmann going to do a newtooled steam loco ?..I think the last one was the V2 about 3/4 yrs ago.....

[@markweightman3805]

Fletcher 901 class ,,as preserved No 910 was described as the most beautiful loco, which made City of Truro, Jones Goods and Stirling Single look plain in comparison. ( by O.S.Nock). It also had a staring role in the 1875,1925 and 1975 Stockton & Darlington 50 yr anniversaries. Which makes it unique I think..also most likely to put in an appearance for 2025 , 200yr anniversary of the S&D....So Bachmann , make a Fletcher 901..one manufacturor will, and it will be as popular as Rapidos Stirling Single..( which only got to York from London...it was Fletchers 901 that got you to Edinburgh..😉

[@modelrailfan37]

Okay, why on earth is a Class 08 £209? That’s more expensive than the upcoming Class 31 from you guys just as one example, kinda obvious where your getting more for your money there… correct me if I’m wrong but I believe that’s the most expensive 0-6-0 on the market. I know it will be a good model, but I was expecting the price to be more around £140-150. Count me out on this one, I’m more than happy with an older version if that’s how high the price is. While it’s nice to see another steam loco (the Hall) return, I seriously hope it has been upgraded. The level of detail on that model isn’t the best, the mechanism is really poor (doesn’t even have tender pickups and decoder socket is in the loco meaning in order to DCC fit the loco you need to remove a weight over the driving wheels!), and the loco doesn’t have very good torch ether… for £190 I really hope some upgrades have been made… Some of the rolling stock looks nice though and it seems that on the GWR stock the prices are quite reasonable which is nice to see! I’m also glad to see that the 121 is back as that is a nice model!

[@TrainsandPlanes123]

Personally, I’ll definitely be getting the Hornby 08 instead for £10 less, as I didn’t really want lights, stay alive and speaker anyway 😊

[@modelrailfan37]

@@TrainsandPlanes123 the Hornby one is still way too expensive imo. These are just little shunters and yet they are priced the same as co-cos and some large tender engines… personally I’ll be looking for an old-tool used Bachmann one seeing as they are now no longer available new.

How about a new D.M.U. class 120 something new. Or a new E.M.U. class 730s something different at least.

[@TheeSethCage]

Man, it's difficult to make a Scottish model railway. And none of the manufacturers seem to be doing much to rectify it. One Caledonian locomotive from Bachmann in the 21st century. One NBR from Hornby. One Andrew Barclay in the Caledonian Railway livery. One Highland Railway loco from Accurascale. It's easy to model modern Scotrail stuff, but for someone like myself who prefers steam locomotives, this lack of Scottish steam feels like a massive oversight.

[@Aaaeendrew]

Rapido have one for release shortly don't they?

[@johnedwards8194]

Thanks, but why is it called Bachmann Europe, when it's all about UK trains and the UK is not part of the EU, also looking at your website the price for EU, trains are not any cheaper then what is in the EU, as a last note for EU, trains when being sent there is the added cost of postage and inport duty for which the cutomer pays on top of the your selling price. ???

[@9501599]

The club thing isn't that great 10% off models big deal, you'd think it would be at least 20%. 10% for a $400 model after I've paid $78, I'd only maybe one model a year so the club doesn't really impress me to join. Still at least there is something.

Hoping to see the GNSR V/F Class/ SECR G Class (all could be made from same tooling), Caledonian 439, Highland Ben Goods, LBSCR Remembrance Tank, and the return of the H1/H2 Atlantics, Midland 1P, LNER J72, S&DJR 7F, Quarry Hunslet, Baldwin 10-12-D, and Midland 4F (obviously I don’t expect all these in one announcement video, just giving multiple suggestions 😂)

[@gppsoftware]

They can only be made from the same tooling if they have exactly the same axle spacings. The days of generic use of an '0-6-0 chassis' ended in the 1970's and isn't appropriate today.

[@modelrailfan37]

@@gppsoftware ya I know, they do (I think)! The SECR G Class in real life was a slightly altered version of the GNSR F Class in real life as an extra batch was built and sent to the SECR. I also think that if wheel spacing is off by just a mm it doesn’t matter, most people won’t notice that…

[@gppsoftware]

@@modelrailfan37 Unfortunately, wheel spacing off by just a mm doesn't cut it any more. It relegates a model to the 'Railroad' category before it even starts!

[@modelrailfan37]

@@gppsoftware that’s just silly! Why do we need models to be exactly the same as the prototype? If it’s off by only 1mm then by using a different chassis the manufacturer would save so much on tooling! Not to mention that if we don’t get a G Class from use of a GNSR V/F Class tooling we will probably never get it in model form since it’s an obscure class and none were preserved, plus there is already another SECR 4-4-0 on the market. Most modellers won’t notice that issue, especially if the class is no longer around and hasn’t been for many years.

[@EllieMaes-Grandad]

@@gppsoftware Good point, but when the track gauge is 'out' by 2.2 mm anyway, other, smaller, discrepancies can be ignored, if that permits more models at lower cost.

[@tomlikestrains4071]

No Narrow Gauge announcements is bit disappointing... :(

[@Ensign_Redshirt]

I'm guessing any narrow gauge releases will be NG7. At least my wallet will be able to breath a sigh of relief.

[@modelrailfan37]

I mean we haven’t seen the Baldwin 10-12-D models for a bit, so maybe we will see a new batch of those sometime soon?? There are also many Quarry Hunslet liveries out there and Bachmann only did 4 (5 counting the exclusive), and given how popular these have been I’d be shocked if we don’t see more of them. Bachmann also haven’t done the new Fairlie, James A Spooner in the Ffestiniog Purple and given how different it is just because of the livery I’d be shocked if that isn’t made. This could all just be me hoping though as I want to get started in OO9 but there isn’t anything that’s really available currently

[@Ensign_Redshirt]

@@modelrailfan37 I'm personally holding out for something new, but yes a few re-releases would be nice. What would be cool is if there was parity and the same loco was released for 009 and NG7 at the same time

[@GarrattHamster]

[@modelrailfan37]

@@Ensign_Redshirt that would be neat! I’m curious to see what the next OO9 loco will be though. My thinking is maybe a Welsh-Highland Garrett, but I don’t think that would be made in NG7. I also think the Single Fairlie would make sense as well.
