    E4 looks good. Hope those won't be moulded-on smokebox darts in final form.

    … and hopefully the smokebox number won't be moulded on, for those of us that want an LBSC-liveried one!

    I remember talking to the Bachmann guy who came to measure up B473 one sunny, quiet autumn morning when I was lighting up one of the P tanks for the Autumn Tints service. Seems like an age ago now!

    The Bachmann announcement is on 20th July. There will be three new tooling items in OO gauge and three in N gauge.

    The announcement in 2015 will revert back to the usual month of March.

    Bachmann yesterday announced an immediate 20% price hike on all orders shipped from today..

    if you've got a wish list and it's in stock i'd suggesting buying before the dealer network up's their prices…
    Derby lightweight DMU has gone up from £114 to £145 RRP ! (Lucky me.. I only just bought one on ebay two weeks ago for £60!)

    Before we start worrying about what might they produce perhaps we could assess the odds of getting our hands on what has already been promised. Strong rumours are circulatingof ongoing manufacturing problems

    No I do not currently volunteer
    Is that with Bachmann ? Heljan? or with pretty much everybody these days...
    Judging by whats available to Pre order from the Mighty Hattons another Batch of Dapol Brits (n gauge) is on order... Think i might have to have one if the wheels are the right colour this time...

    Just checked the Bachman website. Whilst Hattons are advertising pre order SECR birdcage stock its disapeared from website as has Brake PMV

    Edit 13/5/14 The website has had a number of coaching stock items return to the list. I can only presume this was a glitch
