Bachmann Europe today announced several new products across its Bachmann Branchline, EFE Rail, Graham Farish, Scenecraft ranges. Please remember this is a regular quarterly announcement and most the items announced today should be available during the next three to six months.
After a busy 2025 that saw thirteen new tooling projects delivered to Bachmann retailers, alongside a further seven that were revealed for delivery during 2026, Bachmann’s next two new tooling projects made their public debut today as part of the Spring announcements.

Bachmann

The Bachmann Branchline range welcomes back the LMS Jubilee in new and improved forms, with new tooling to depict the later-built locomotives with their sloping firebox throatplates and longer fireboxes. With the addition of a firebox lighting system and upgraded to Plux22 DCC compatibility, the Branchline Jubilees tell the story of these express passenger locomotives from their LMS days right through to today. To support the preservation movement Bachmann has teamed up with the Bahamas Locomotive Society and will make a donation from the sale of every Branchline model of ‘Bahamas’, one of the quartet of Jubilees still around today, helping to return the real locomotive to steam.
New Train sets have been added to the Branchline range as well, the Eastern Express includes preserved V2 Class locomotive No. 60800 ‘Green Arrow’ and will be available in standard format or with DCC ON BOARD. The Suburban Sulzer includes a Class 25 diesel and comes with optional SOUND FITTED. All sets come with a free 1-year standard membership to the Bachmann Collectors Club and a Lucsmore Vale Layout Mat. Both the DCC ON BOARD and SOUND FITTED sets also feature the new Kinesis GO! DCC Base Station allowing digital control of the trains using the RailController Hand-Held App for Android and Apple, or RailController computer control software when Kinesis GO! is connected to a PC.

Graham Farish

There are new models for the Graham Farish range too this Spring, with popular types like the Class 101 DMUs, the Mk1 POS Post Office Sorting Vans and the HYA/IIA Hopper Wagons returning in a selection of common liveries.

EFE Rail

The firm’s EFE Rail brand has developed the first ever N Scale models of the Class 23 ‘Baby Deltic’ diesel locomotives. Whilst the fleet of just ten locomotives had a chequered career spanning little more than a decade, the EFE Rail models have a brighter future and are produced to modern standards boasting features like directional lighting, a Next18 DCC decoder socket and space for a speaker to be fitted. Two body types have been produced to depict the locomotives as-built with their disc headcodes, and after they had been modified to have central headcode boxes fitted instead. A selection of models will be available spanning the working lives of the real locomotives, from introduction to their final days in traffic.

Following the delivery of EFE Rail’s OO Scale Isle of Wight Coach sets, these highly acclaimed models now form the basis of a new range of 54ft non-corridor coaches which will be available as individual vehicles in a selection of colour schemes. At the time these models were conceived, models of bogie coaches, authentic or otherwise, did not exist for many of the pre-grouping railway companies, and so the liveries of several early-twentieth century railway companies have been applied to these ornate vehicles. Third Class, Composite and Brake Third coaches will each be available in Lined Teak, LBSCR Raw Umber, S&DJR Lined Blue and CR Plum & Off-White.

Scenecraft
The Bachmann Scenecraft range continues to provide a wide variety of fully finished buildings, structures and accessories to craft any scene and a selection of the most popular Scenecraft items return in N and OO Scale this Spring along with a sprinkling of all-new buildings. Five new OO Scale figure packs have also been added to the Scenecraft range of hand painted figures and these include a set suitable for use with EFE Road buses, and a modern policing pack complete with mounted cavalry and armed response.
