Tip of the day - new NG7 range

Martin Wynne · 17 April 2024

New announcement from Bachmann:

There are some ready-made sample 0n16.5 track templates available in Templot. I may need to change the name to NG7 if that's what Bachmann are going to be calling it. They can be found here:

A selection of templates will appear in the library viewer. Clicking one of them copies it into the control template on the trackpad. The templates can be used as-is to create a track plan, or curved and modified as required in the usual way.

cheers,

Martin.

Hi Martin,
The models will be very popular I suspect. The working chopper couplings should be nice but they didn't exactly say they worked and could be auto-uncoupled, maybe an old style uncoupling ramp would work.

Sarcastic people may say that it is another range from Bachmann with the wrong track gauge but using an easily available RTR track system makes commercial sense. The O14 narrow gauge group will probably have fun converting the models. Glad to see that Bachmann don't(generally) follow the limited run methods used by certain other companies that just leads to a lack of models for dealers to sell and inflated Ebay prices as people cash in.

Other ways are available to get an Alice class like NG Trains

It's interesting to see these images popping up here in what I assumed was going to be a strongly standard gauge forum - particularly since one of my other hobby tasks is creating patterns for reproduction owner and builder plates for LNWR slate waggons (as part of my involvement with the FR's heritage waggon fleet) very similar to the one seen on GWR 26 above.
