Also announced are two new versions and running numbers of the YOB crane in BR Yellow and Balfour Beatty liveries.

Sceancraft
OO Scale is well-represented with Scenecraft releases this Winter, with accommodation covered by our Railway House and the Transport Cottages, both of which come in two paint schemes, as does the Toll Office, which partners well with the Transport Cottages. Stations are represented by the Rural Station and the Art Deco Platform Centre Building, Subway Building and End Building, and a BR Eastern Region Signal Box also joins the range. Add in the Two Storey Office Buildings and a range of smaller detailing items, and there’s plenty for OO Scale modellers to choose from.

This Winter introduces the new Lucsmore Vale OO Scale Layout Mat; a full colour layout mat that gives a birds eye view of a stunning model railway, which can be created as a fun and fulfilling project using our Lucston and Wigmore buildings. Add the finishing touch with the Lucsmore Vale Scenescape - a 5-piece full-colour card backdrop.
The Layout Mat will be included will all future Bachmann Branchline trainsets, or you can purchase it separately then add your track using our four track packs. The first Branchline train sets featuring our layout mat will be revealed in Spring 2026.

Our N Scale Scenecraft announcement sees return of the simple to use Platforms and Ramps, which are sold in packs of 4 and 2 respectively. These are joined by a Depot Crane from the Scenecraft, and this intricate model will be available with a black or grey paint finish.
