Bachmann UK (Bachmann Europe plc) is one of the leading suppliers of British model railways and unites iconic brands such as Bachmann Branchline (OO), Graham Farish (N), EFE Rail, and Scenecraft under one roof. The portfolio covers British prototypes in several scales – with a clear focus on quality in detailing, paintwork, sound, lighting, and high-performance technology. Maßstäbe

  • Graham Farish (N/1:148) – N-scale for compact layouts without compromising on detail and technology; complete product lines including train sets, locomotives, EMUs/DMUs and rolling stock.
  • EFE Rail / EFE Road – additional British models (e.g., EMUs, special vehicles, cranes) and road vehicles, often announced as new designs.

Quarterly British Railway Announcements

Bachmann UK publishes new products quarterly – most recently in Winter 2025 with, among others, Class 47 with upgrades, Class 13-Shunter (newly constructed), Class 150-DMUs and additions in N and OO. These announcements set trends and ensure a constantly growing, cutting-edge selection. For example, the Branchline Class 47 will receive a revised series for 2026 with Auto-Release Coupling, Backup Stay Alive, refined glazing, and a Dual Fitted XL speaker system in the sound variants – a strong signal for top technical standards in OO. N-Scale Highlights: The Graham Farish range includes complete starter sets, modern and historical locomotives, EMUs/DMUs and extensive rolling stock – ideal when space is limited but the highest demands are placed on appearance and operation. Community & Club: With the Bachmann Collectors Club, enthusiasts benefit from limited-edition club models, the Bachmann Times magazine, quarterly British Railway Announcements, events, and extended warranties – a significant advantage for collectors and active model railroaders.
