Bachmann
Bachmann LMS Stanier 8F
The headline news along with the new tooled NER E (LNER J71) 0-6-0T in 00 and N Gauge NER P7/LNER Diagram 12 Coal Hoppers, that were announced at the Greatest Gathering, is the new tooled LMS Stanier 8F.
The all new 8F models features a die-cast running plate and boiler and a wealth of tooling options ranging from tenders, smokebox doors, driving wheels and balance weights, reverser rods, AWS system and snowploughs. Initially five livery versions from LMS to BR Black late crest are being released.
Continuing the steam theme and the LB&SCR E4 0-6-2 Tank returns to the range this Autumn having been upgraded for sound and four models will be available with optional SOUND FITTED including the sole-surviving E4 in BR guise as No. 32473.
Another model to have been upgraded before its return is the Class 30/31 Diesel, first unveiled in 2024, which now has a Bach-Up Stay Alive system fitted as standard and all-wheel electrical pick-up. Six models will be available including some new liveries not yet offered on the Branchline model, and all come with the option of SOUND FITTED or SOUND FITTED DELUXE – the latter having the revolutionary Auto-Release Coupling system which provides automated, hands-free uncoupling at the press of a single DCC function along with motorised roof fans and tinted driver’s and secondman’s windscreen glazing.
The 2-HAP Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) also joins the Autumn 2025 range with two new livery options, and again for the first time this model will be offered with optional SOUND FITTED. Joining these mainline locomotives and units is the diminutive Wickham Trolley, with two new versions including a model of Longmoor Military Railway No. WD9033 which found fame in the 1960s film ‘The Great St. Trinians Train Robbery’. OO Rolling stock has a hopper theme this quarter as new versions of the Bulk Grain Wagon and JGA, HHA and HKA Bogie Hoppers will all be available in the near future.

Graham Farish
Graham Farish Class 150 GWR
The Graham Farish range welcomes back the GWR Castle Class locomotive and three new N Scale models will be produced with or without SOUND FITTED. Continuing the Western theme and the Class 150/2 Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) will be arriving in two new liveries depicting operations in the west of England and Wales, namely GWR Green and Transport for Wales. Joining the NER P7/LNER Diagram 12 Coal Hoppers that were launched last week are new examples of the 3 Plank Open Wagon which now boast NEM Coupling Pockets for the first time. There are also new versions of the 5 Plank China Clay Wagon, and the BR Carflat joins the Graham Farish range for the first time.

EFE Rail
EFE Rail PCV
The EFE Range sees two new livery versions of the NAA Propelling Control Vehicles and includes a new running number in RES livery and a version in EWS livery for the first time.

Scencraft
Scenecraft releases for Autumn 2025 have a low relief theme as far as the new N Scale models are concerned, with five low relief dwellings available along with the return of the Sectional Lineside Hut and Highley Station Yard Crane- a timely release as the Autumn 2025 British Railway Announcements video was filmed at the Engine House, also located at Highley on the Severn Valley Railway.
New Scenecraft models for OO Scale include a GWR Standard Station, modelled on Toddington Station on the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway, a selection of depot mess and crew rooms, and coal barges and narrow boats to aid anyone modelling a canal or river scene. There are two new NG7 models from Scenecraft too, with a corrugated engine shed and metal water tank to provide new options for those wishing to create on-shed scenes for their NG7 locomotives
