Hi Guy's
I've purchased a Bachmann 394-002 Steel bodied bogie 3Rd coach lined green but I can't find it in any catalog I've got so have been on the Bachmann website with no joy so when opened it said it was a liliput by Bachmann I'm sure I did see this in a category is this a case of just a reboxed item that Bachmann have done or have I purchased a 2nd hand liliput item thanks in advance
Thanks
Alan
I thought Liliput was a Bachmann product line in the same way that Graham Farish is also Bachmann product line.
I see the coach was a 2021 release and perhaps they had not yet sorted out their Bachmann (British) Narrow Gauge brand line at that point and so included it under their Liliput product line?
If it was sold as new by a reputable dealer then I see no reason for it not to be new (i.e. not second hand). It could just have been sitting in their warehouse for a long time.
Edit:
Found this. They released it initially under the Liliput range and then under Bachmann (British) Narrow Gauge.

(OK this one is in a different livery but the green one is mentioned at the end.)

Hi Graeme
Thanks for the you are correct in terms of liliput being a Bachmann product along with Graeme Farish I seem to have most of my catalogs but not the 2021 for a strange reason I found it strange that I couldn't find it on Bachmann's own website it might be me that is the problem not the website in terms of who I bought it off I didn't catch the stalls name as it was at the Kilmarnock show today and I did have a good look at it before purchasing it and it did look new to me and when I showed it to the person I was with he even said if it was 2nd hand it wasn't used that often witch is the reason why I thought I would ask here unfortunately the way I tried to explain/ask this question probably didn't read right and was hoping to confirm that I didn't imagine seeing this in the Bachmann category it seems like I did see it thanks again
Thanks

Hi Guy's
This is the other one I seem to remember seeing in the catalog and looks like I got a bargain from the show today https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266594341809?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D777008%26algo%3DPERSONAL.TOPIC%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20221115143451%26meid%3D1138612e5448442f855ff2074594732d%26pid%3D101615%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26itm%3D266594341809%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D4375194%26algv%3DWatchlistVariantWithMLR%26brand%3DBachmann&_trksid=p4375194.c101615.m47999&_trkparms=parentrq%3A4cdd995f18d0ab3a52b0ec58ffff9530%7Cpageci%3Aa3c63225-bd5c-11ee-9786-f63ad0cc2995%7Ciid%3A1%7Cvlpname%3Avlp_homepage

Did I hear recently that this is a model of a coach running on the W&L? It does indeed say Liliput underneath and is sold by Bachmann. (009 Sales have a boxed one in stock which will be for sale on the website soon.)
David.
These coaches are made by Bachmann.
They are former Liliput coaches that are models of coaches used on the Steiermärkische Landesbahnen (St.LB) in Austria.
Bachmann have added the interior as the original Liliput coaches had none and have given them a different paint finish for the UK market.
Here is one for sale new:
