Tell me more about the magazine
As a club member, you will get your hands on our highly regarded collectors club magazine, the 'Bachmann Times', which will arrive at your door each quarter. This 72-page, full-colour magazine is bursting with the lates Club news including event details, the newest limited edition Club models and competitions. We have detailed product information on the newest models being produced by Bachmann and Graham Farish. Plus we have articles written by experts on modelling advice including step-by-step guides and in-depth prototypical railway operations, locomotive and rolling stock knowledge that we know you will enjoy!
Tell me more about the limited edition models
The Bachmann Collectors Club commissions models in OO, N and OO9 scales based on prototypes of locomotives and rolling stock that have uniqueness and so can become collectable items. Many models are limited to only 350 being produced and come with its own numbered limited edition certificate, making them even more of a collectable and valued model as these will not be produced again. Each quarter we bring you a brand-new model, or two, from the Bachmann Branchline, Bachmann Narrow Gauge or Graham Farish ranges. These models are available to our club members to buy with at least a 10% discount off the RRP, and when we have a sale, members can get up to 50% off the RRP on selected models. We also offer some of our wagons in Multi Packs for even greater savings. All our Club models can be purchased by our members directly through the club website, by phone, mail order, or at selected events.
