NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH: Bachmann reveals new 'OO' gauge LNWR carriages

[@Nolan-NLN]

Top job to the lad from Bachmann, can tell he was a tad nervous but did very well! Props to you!

[@1987TimeLord]

Nice to see Bachmann focusing on an era in OO that isn't primarily Diesels after what seems like an eternity.

[@CecilValeProductions]

Now they just need to do a regular release of the LNWR Improved Precedents with one in the proper LNWR condition to go with the coaches as well.

[@HexAyed]

As an LNWR and LYR fan, this is great

[@billywindsock9597]

I have modelled LNWR for thirty years, it would have been nice to have these years ago. Kit building and painting was the only way to go. I started because I love the livery.

[@andrewhotston983]

How wonderful!! Best Bachmann announcement for years. I will try to save up to buy a rake of each livery. Maybe we'll get a George V 4-4-0 or a Prince of Wales 4-6-0 to haul them???

[@aberfordwest4003]

I’m hoping for a cauliflower class and some wagons, crucially a brake van

[@andrewhotston983]

@@aberfordwest4003 Yes!

[@robertward9847]

Will be getting some LNWR coaches hopefully you'll do some LYR coaches

[@adrianarnold8554]

The LNWR livery was known as 'Plum & Spilt Milk'

[@billywindsock9597]

It was the varnish that was extensively used that made the white go the particular shade it did.

[@MikeParkin65]

A super announcement and good to see actual prototypes being modelled rather than ‘generic’ fantasies

[@callumk5]

The LNWR ones look exquisite.

[@miniroll32]

Simple - your layout is a heritage railway. It can be styled in the modern era, but you have an excuse to run locos from different eras.

[@ethmister]

​@miniroll32 this is how I roll basically means you can run literally anything.

[@TheKnightTrain88]

Yes! Between these and the Rapido Evolution non-corridors I might go bankrupt... Just need more LNWR condition locos now to go with these e.g George V or Claughton

[@nickrails]

Fantastic announcment, good job Bachmann

[@jamfjord]

I'm hoping that releases like this from Bachmann and others might lead to future exhibitions not being inundated with layouts exclusively set in the 1950s and 1960s 😅 Exciting release for me - if they were on Liverpool and Manchester formations in LNWR days, does that mean they went to Fleetwood as well? They do look lovely 😍

[@JohnTurner-m9d]

These look exquisite, but where's the close-coupling we've become so used to? The gap between corridor connections harks back to the days of Tri-ang.

[@David-g1p-v8k]

'...back to Tri-ang' which of course Hornby really is, there's no Meccano in its DNA, as to close coupling, agreed, it does let them down but great models though.

[@davetedd3633]

Great detail on these, just a shame about the massive gap between the gangways. If only manufacturers could produce very flexible rubber and magnetic gangways to completely bridge the gap. The paper ones you can buy look naff.

[@EllieMaes-Grandad]

It's an obvious gap [pun intended] in all r-t-r coaching stock ranges and so obvious that nobody has provided an answer to it.

[@xylicable]

When you’ve got to scale curve plain line and turnouts on your railway…

[@aurch09]

Totally agree!

[@stevenadby3907]

Fleischmann profi couplers will get them closer together!

[@MrDavil43]

But the paper ones still look better than a gap. I too hope to see some better quality ones available

[@robertbate5790]

These look superb. It's great to see such early vehicles being covered at last. Would be nice to see some pre-grouping GWR coaches too.

[@garryowen6671]

I model 50s period, and i love those LNWR coaches, looks like i have to change period.😃

[@MrDavil43]

I'm trying to stay very disciplined and desist from ordering anything that isn't Southern Railway or Region, but that rake of LNWR carriages is sorely tempting....help!

[@johnjephcote7636]

I saw an LNW coach in faded maroon in departmental use as late as 1968 opposite the Old Station at Watford (just north of the St.Albans Road bridge)...still on 'the Premier Line'.

[@JamesPetts]

I approve of pre-grouping.

[@FormallyknownasE100]

Brilliant announcement

[@bendavis7233]

It is true Brilliant announcement just need more Pre 2 trains just now.

[@davidford85]

Always nice to see pre-grouping stock

[@terrier_productions]

omg I'm in love with that LNWR livery. Price depending, I might pick one or more up

[@Shauniboy1984]

Bachmann double thumbs up from me 👍👍

[@PebProductions46]

11:14 Folks, that is not the same Midland 1P that Bachmann have done before. It's technically not even the same class. I think we may be in for a bit of a treat in a few weeks.

[@descurtis1740]

They look fantastic, my name is on a set. It's about time we had some more pre-grouping stock, and locos, please. Mathew Stirlings Hull and Barnsley 4-4-0 comes to mind.

[@laurencecheyne593]

Hopefully they will also be available as West Coast Joint Stock. Even after 50 years, modelling Scottish pre-grouping railways is a hard furrow.

[@BeastofCaerBannog]

Does this mean we can expect to see more LNWR locos....? Wouldnt take much adjustment of tooling from previous models (Coal Tank, Super D, Precedent) given their standardisation of parts. Also, why no early LMS......?🙄

[@roberthall-h7r]

Maybe fit a stay alive to the sound class 31 as standard. We shouldn’t have to fit one ourselves considering how much they cost.

[@MikeParkin65]

Why does a twin bogie diesel need a stay alive? My sound fitted example runs fine and without issues.

[@roberthall-h7r]

@@MikeParkin65 so why do Cavalex and Accurascale fit them as standard ?

[@MikeParkin65]

Marketing. Serves no useful purpose in a large multi pick up loco. Small and light locos need them but nothing else.

[@DaveMatthews-k7q]

Another lovely coach but what will the price be

[@aberfordwest4003]

My Christmas and bday money was going to an Accurascale 5700 but I need these for my precedent soooo These look way better than what I can possibly do with my rake of ratio ones

[@andrewdking]

They look wonderful, but Bachmann charge the most for their carriages, so with all that detail, I'm guessing £80 to £90 each ?

[@cliffwoodbury5319]

Don't have a layout, but I hope to see these on other modelers layouts

[@GarthDavies-cd5oh]

These look really nice. In the modern era thinking outside the box , the odd one could be included in a land cruise type luxury train pulled by a class 37 in the Scottish Highlands.

[@aberfordwest4003]

I’m getting some of these for sure

[@seanrailanimations]

Conflat p wagon or 25 ton Anhydrite hopper wagon?

[@SimsHandle]

Not my thing but I’ll listen out for any new innovations.

[@bendavis7233]

Yes, Bachmann keeps doing more pre-2 coaches as easily my top era should order them on the day in LNWR. As love who is making T3 want one of my favourites of all time. Please look into the LTl&SR 79 class in green OO Scale with the HR strath class in yellow and LBSCR I3 in brown. As Rapido are my go-to company now only do Era 2 stuff.

[@alanrobertson9790]

Looks superb. Sadly (or happily for my wallet) as a modern image modeller I have no excuse to buy them unless I open an OO museum.

[@davew2452]

Would like to see the Prestwin twin silo hopper which was planned and then cancelled

[@roberthall-h7r]

Me too😊

[@modelrailwaynoob]

Very nice and welcome

[@SimonPitcher]

Absolutely stunning…..and a passport to the southern lol

[@shornford]

Mk3s?

[@StormmyStormmy]

This announcement could be something really special for many or a few, no point guess these days because only Bachmann know what it is, personally a retooled class 57 or 66 would be good along with some Mk3 coaches or another departmental vehicle or some sound decoders.

[@jsma9999]

Rail head Treatment train or snowploughs

[@JackBowley95]

RHTT is for Accurascale. They've hinted elsewhere at acquiring Hattons' tooling

[@jsma9999]

I LOST

[@davew2452]

@@JackBowley95 Yes, that was my hope and postive reply when I made a comment on a thread

[@StormmyStormmy]

@@JackBowley95 To be honest I don’t think Accurascale are interested in the RHTT wagon set, for me it’s an open goal for them and they’re focused elsewhere, in time they will be producing items for high end premium modellers who want ultra detailed models, using Hatton’s mouldings is a phase that will end and never be revisited once Accurascale evolve as a manufacturer.

[@JackBowley95]

@@StormmyStormmy well I've got screenshots from Facebook of their managing director making comments about it saying not to pay over the odds on eBay, so read into that what you will.

[@tangerinedream7211]

Look wonderful, limited appeal/sales though id guess, even adding some LMS maroon to them ,got to be £80/90 a pop.😲

[@TrainsandPlanes123]

I just looked and a birdcage coach is currently £90, so I’d guess a bit more than that maybe! Make sense I guess, if they can only make them in a few liveries and with specific appeal then they’re not going to sell in the same numbers as a mk1 for example. Whatever the price, I don’t really care though, finally an authentic pre grouping coach and there’s no way I could ever make anything look as good as these!

[@mattg5467]

Very niche

[@EllieMaes-Grandad]

Exquisite models, with perhaps a limited sales potential? No use to early BR modellers, who as yet have no Mk1 brake first stock.

[@davetedd3633]

It's new rolling stock, so probably just a wagon.

[@StormmyStormmy]

Hopefully departmental in various colours.

[@IC-qf7ev]

If it's not modern I have immediately lost interest

[@Railway_Riches]

More for me then 😂

[@StormmyStormmy]

Maybe a Network rail yellow class 37 and a Europhoenix silver livery class 37 or something to compete with Hornby’s new Flirt model.

[@aberfordwest4003]

You’re missing out! I’m having a full rake of these bad boys myself 😂

[@thepacerman]

as much as i like diesel and electrics, there is just so much more variation in the steam era that makes it much more interesting to model

[@laurencecheyne593]

Modern equals mega yawn.

[@AmazeTase]

More very over-priced duplication most probably!

[@IC-qf7ev]

Or something ancient
