Roy L S Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 2 hours ago, woodenhead said: Or if you watch the video it actually plays Stingray and advertises the two figurines announced last November to celebrate 60 years of Stingray during 2024. So it could be train related or it may actually be a model of Stingray itself. https://news.Bachmann.co.uk/2023/11/stand-by-for-action/ We'll know tomorrow. Don't forget that the Stingray series intro always included the Commander saying "anything could happen in the next half hour" and that may be the extent of the connection to what is being announced...

Thebigshot Posted July 16 Author Share Posted July 16 I’m hoping that the do a 009 mountaineer I know it’s not the best locomotive to get the most returns from but for me it’s such a unique locomotives it would fit right in my collection 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAR 120C Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Class 319 in 00 gauge. They’ve already produced it in N so the research has already been done. Long service and loads of liveries to choose from. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold MikeParkin65 Posted July 16 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 16 There’s a lot of N gauge they have done all of the research for that aren’t in the OO range so potentially relatively quick wins - any of the 8F, Black Five , Royal Scot and the Stanier coaches would do me for starters :) There’s precedent too because the 31 appeared in the N gauge range first too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halvarras Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Surely the late-style Class 25 is a wide-open goal in the Graham Farish range - it's not like a new chassis is even required. Frankly astonished they haven't done this one yet...... I know it was done in the Poole era but it wasn't exactly a brilliant model (to put it mildly). However I acknowledge that this would be another diesel, not what many N gauge modellers would prefer to see at the moment (an understandable desire shared with OO modellers it seems).

In fairness the reverse is true in absolute spades - loads of ‘quick wins’ that they’ve done all the research for that aren’t in N…. Probably the majority of their products!

Roy L S Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 (edited) 2 hours ago, Helmdon said: The obvious gap in N, for example, is a decent modern GWR king A few thoughts that, the first and most obvious of which is that Bachmann have never made a King in any scale, and in saying this I am of course aware of the Farish "King" which wasn't Bachmann, it was made late in Poole days and frankly it is awful, they would have to start R&D from scratch. Secondly DJM seem to have poisoned the well somewhat as regards the loco with their proposed "crowdfunded" version where the "crowd" didn't appear to fund anything apart from a few CADS, because subsequent to that when KR models proposed a King in N (using what appeared to be a very similar CAD to the DJM) it clearly didn't generate enough interest because it was never taken further. The only way it might surface as an N model that I can see is as an EFE one based around the DJM CADs. I think there are a few more obvious gaps that are for larger classes of more widely travelled steam locos, and two from the old Farish range already made in OO by Bachmann are the Hughes Fowler "Crab" and the Gresley V2, another possible is the 94xx Pannier, an ever present in the Farish range for about 35 years recently newly tolled in OO. Three hours and we will find out, very likely it will be none of the above, not a loco and not even N! 🤔 Roy P.S. Edit: For clarity, the Farish N Gauge V2 produced early "noughties" isn't a wholly Bachmann designed loco, work on it was actually started before the takeover of Farish and it is therefore something of a hybrid.

Roy L S Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 19 minutes ago, rob D2 said: Deltic or 40 I’d say . No comoetittion with the later . in OO the Deltic has been made very recently by Accurascale and Bachmann have already upgraded their existing 40. In N the 40 tooling is fairly recent, Next 18 and sound ready. Their N Deltic tooling is a bit older but all Bachmann, pretty decent and DCC ready so best I could see is a sound upgrade. Personally I think they would tackle the 37 first as far as sound goes - in fact there's a thought, could the announcement even turn out be a brand new ground up 37 in N to current specification as a follow on to the OO one I wonder?? Back to reality, probably none of the above, possibly not even N, maybe not even a loco.. Roy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
