New Bachmann model announcement on 30th May
http://www.bachmann.co.uk/details.php?id=355

As Bachmann are at the DEMU showcase the same day, I'm guessing something Diesel or Electric.

 

I saw a silhouette of it somewhere, can't find it now, and knowing nothing about these things it didn't help me much anyway, but it was definitely a 2 car unit.
