Graham Farish: bumper new livery arrivals this summer

Bachmann Europe Plc today revealed its latest collection of new products with the launch of the Summer 2023 British Railway Announcements. The largest offering of new products via a single British Railway Announcements to date, the Summer collection showcases new models in N, OO and O scale, all of which are scheduled for release in the coming months.

It is N scale and the Graham Farish range that dominates the Summer British Railway Announcements. Its BR Standard 5MT steam locomotive has been undergoing sound-fitted upgrades, and Bachmann today confirmed that the Ivatt 2MT locomotive has undergone similar upgrades and new models of the Ivatt 2MT, including sound-fitted versions, will be produced this Summer.

New Tooling for Graham Farish this quarter comes by way of the MXA ‘Lobster’ Bogie Open Wagon, following the launch of the OO scale version in the Spring announcements. Like its larger counterpart, two versions of the N scale ‘Lobster’ will be available, one will feature traditional brake blocks and levers, while the second will depict a wagon fitted with disc brakes.

Bachmann MXA 'Lobster' (377-615).

Continuing the additions to the Graham Farish range of rolling stock which began in Spring with the unveiling of various new wagons, it is coaches that take centre stage this time. Both the BR Mk. 1 and BR Mk. 2F coach ranges see a substantial number of new additions this summer, with numerous vehicle types catering for many of the most popular liveries across the eras, and in many cases with two different running numbers available per model.
