Bachmann Collectors Club

[Masbroughlad]

Is anybody a member of Bachmann Collector's Club?

At 29.99, it appears good value, particularly if you want to buy their models (I fancy the WCR class 31!). Or you can pay extra and get one or two free wagons a year. Are the wagons any good?

What are the club magazines like? Are the Practically Perfect Sales good? What are the days out? (They sound interesting). What model railway exhibitions / shows do you get a discount at?

Just wondered what people's opinions are. Is it worth joining?

I do like Bachmann models, on the whole.

YouTuber Sam's Trains recently covered this very question and was generally positive
