Bachmann are keeping very quiet about 2009 prices and there is very little info on their website.
I understand, contrary to posts elsewhere on the Forum, that they will not be anouncing their plans for 2009- until mid to late February. The next edition of the Collectors Club Magazine is scheduled for late February, which will include the 2009 Catalogue.
I think that Hornby's price rises for 2009 are already above what the market will bear. Sales so far in 2009 have no doubt been at 2008 prices. Looks like the retailers will have to cut profit margins to make sales which will make it even harder for the local model shops who have to pay more wholesale. Only time will tell!
