The news is: There ain’t no news!
I write this having recently listened to the Autumn 2023 new product presentation by Bachmann Europe.
As an ‘N’ gauge enthusiast, I am always keen to hear what may be coming in the Graham Farish range, and with more Class 90s and ‘158s’ promised, the announcements did not disappoint.
Bachmann’s Rail Brand Manager Richard Proudman, who hosted the event, mentioned that it is now three years since Bachmann’s first quarterly announcement presentation – apolicy which means that models, theoretically at least, are only unveiled when they are three months away from retailers’ shelves.
