Graham Farish

(by Bachmann)

Table listing releases in model number order

During February 2009 Bachmann announced a range of N-Gauge model buses to sit alongside their railway layouts, accessories etc. Approximately 30 models were announced and the first models in the series were released during December 2011.

Having received one of the models which appeared on the small side when compared with an Oxford Diecast N-Gauge model, I carried out a series of measurements and calculations (CLICK HERE to read the results of my findings) and it appears that the models are closer to American N-Gauge scale of 1:160 rather than the 1:148 more commonly used in the UK.

Please note: In compiling this list it has been brought to my attention that there are a number of discrepancies between what Graham Farish are listing the models on their website as and what retailers such as ehattons are stating models will be. I have mentioned the discrepancy in the relevant listing and no doubt it will only be sorted when the model is actually released and we can see what fleet it actually is.
