Bachmann winter 2022 announcements

With more than a dozen new tooling or product upgrade projects already delivered during 2022, Bachmann Europe's Winter British Railway Announcements sees a trio of new tooling projects unveiled for delivery this year, along with further product upgrades and new liveries for existing models from Bachmann Branchline and Graham Farish.

For OO9

With the years new announcements dominated by OO and N scale, OO9 takes centre stage this Winter thanks to the Bachmann Narrow Gauge range and the introduction of the Mainline Hunslet locomotives. Depicting the trio of locomotives built for the Penrhyn Quarry Railway in North Wales, these large 0-4-0 saddle tanks build on the success of the award-winning Bachmann Narrow Gauge Double Fairlies first released twelve months ago.

For N gauge

The Graham Farish N scale range welcomes new diesel locomotives this winter with two Class 20s depicting 20064 River Sheaf and 20172 Redmire.

31309 Cricklewood is also announced, while a quartet of refurbished Class 31s makes up the latest round of Sales Area Exclusive models, each offered with our without sound and available only from retailers within specific areas of the country.

For OO gauge

In OO scale the Bachmann Branchline Western Pullman has been produced in a new Train Pack. Featuring two sound-fitted power cars, the model depicts one of the former Midland Pullman six-car units following their transfer to the Western Region.

New liveries are seen on no fewer than four steam locomotive types, with the WD Austerity and BR Standard 9F both offered with sound for the first time – the latter having undergone upgrades to incorporate a Plux22 DCC decoder socket and a pre-fitted speaker to facilitate this.

New liveries are introduced for the Class 158 DMUs, while a range of BR maroon-liveried LNER Thompson coaches is also arriving this Winter.

The new items can be purchased from Bachmann stockists, with the first release from the Winter 2022 British Railway Announcements due to arrive with stockists in the next two weeks.
