Graham Farish 2006

I would agree that it is a Bachmann Class 08 OO gauge picture as the track is a giveaway however it is the official image used for the Graham Farish news announcement.

Looking at the list it does seem that whatever Bachmann do in OO gauge they are also going to do over time in N gauge. So future new models from Graham Farish may well follow a predictable path.

Clearly if its bigger brother is a good seller than why not repeat that success within N gauge modelling.

Happy modelling

What are bachmann upto announcing stuff that dapol already announced can they think of their own models to produce ? Announcement off Dapol also today:

Following today's announcement by Messrs Graham Farish that they intend to release several of the N gauge models that we had already publicly announced that we were intending to produce in 2006 and 2007 viz.: LMS Stanier Coaches : Class 150 Sprinter : Class 03/04 Shunter : 40t Seacow wagon, we have decided NOT to proceed with these models. We will instead direct our attentions to our range of new models already under production - and some already under production but not yet announced.

It does seem to be that any of the brand new models for 2005, they seem to appear in 2006 as N guage versions.

Does this mean come 2007 we can expect the Class 108's, 9F;s and Fairburns in N?

BachFarish may have announced these models, however they announced stuff for 2005 which has still to appear.
When Dapol announce a date for release they usually stick to it or even improve on the schedule. They obviously have more control over things than BachFarish.
If they can switch their production round in answer to BachFarish's "challenge" then from my point of view it can only be better for UK N gauge hopefully less (or no) duplication and a greater range to choose from; I just hope it results in the Dapol Maunsell stock coming sooner plus any other SR stock from either manufacturer, like a T9, 700, N15 King Arthur, Nelson, Schools ...........................
