MAY 2023 Fleischmann N We cannot claim to have mentioned everything that is listed: we have tried to include as much as possible and what are, in our opinion, significant and interesting new products. Most illustrations have been derived from information supplied by manufacturers, and include CAD renderings. Readers should be aware that some pictures may have been retouched, and the final models may differ in detail. The news of many of these products is by way of advance information, and the mention of any item should not be taken to mean that it is available. Similarly, estimates of delivery dates should only be taken as an approximate guide based on stated intentions. Readers must await coverage in our ‘Latest Reviews’ or announcements in retailers’ advertisements which will indicate when particular models can be purchased. Enquiries should be directed to the relevant supplier, not the Editorial office! This report has been compiled quickly and we apologise in advance for any errors or omissions. We hope such failings will be minor and not detract from your enjoyment of what we believe is the most complete English-language coverage of the model railway new product announcements.
