A Look inside the Bachmann Times | Spring 2020

Last modified date

The latest edition of the Bachmann Times, the official magazine of the Bachmann Collectors Club, has been distributed to our members. This issue features a wide selection of topics including our Works Report and all-new ‘British Railway Announcements’ supplement!

Bachmann Branchline J72 69023 ‘Joem’ Lined Green NER logos & BR Late Crests (31-060K)

The latest Limited Edition model to arrive from the Bachmann Collectors Club is the OO scale J72 0-6-0T No. 69023 ‘Joem’ in Lined Green livery with NER logos and BR Late Crests (31-060K). The only survivor of this once 113-strong class, No. 69023 was built by BR at Darlington in April 1951 and allocated to Blaydon depot where it remained until October 1962 when it moved the short distance to Gateshead. In October 1964 it was transferred to Departmental Service stock and renumbered to No.59. In departmental service it was used at Blyth Harbour Staithes and to de-ice points in Tyne Yard. After a period in store, No. 59 was sold in September 1966 and entered preservation, its time in departmental use having ensured its survival.

Bachmann Collectors Club members can order theirs now by calling the Club office on 01455 245565. This item is also available through our Collectors Club website along with our full range of exclusive models.

Our New ‘British Railway Announcements’ supplement ensures that our valued club members are the first to hear about new releases for our Bachmann Branchline, Graham Farish and Scenecraft ranges. The Spring 2020 edition includes 20 brand new items and what’s more, these products are in stock now, or are on their way to us, so they’ll be available from your Bachmann stockist within the next three months.
