GWR

The GWRs' 64xx class of pannier tank locomotives was designed specifically to provide a locomotive for push-pull 'auto train' working which delivered more power than the 0-4-2 tank engines. The engines met the operating departments requirements for up to four trailer coaches to be hauled during peak hours and for introducing the more economical auto-train working over routes with stiffer gradients than the 4-coupled engines could manage.

The addition of this locomotive to the Bachmann range nicely complements the 57xx/8750 class shunting engines to further increase the variety of GWR branchline motive power. Bachmann are also producing a model of one of the later design of auto trailer coaches to complement these engines.
Era 4, 1948-1956. NEM coupling pockets. DCC Ready. 6-pin decoder required for DCC operation. Length 67mm.

A new model of the Great Western 57xx class pannier tank locomotives incorporating the ability to recreate detail differences between the members of this large class. The different cab roof and rivetted or welded tank construction can be reproduced, while the chassis incorporates a 6-pin DCC decoder socket. Dapol magnetic couplers and standard N gauge couplers are supplied along with a bag of spares and fine details for further optional detailing.

Photo shows previous release model.

A detailed model of the later series of the GWR 28xx heavy freight 2-8-0 locomotives, fitted with a Collett side window cab. This series started with number 2884 and progressed into the 38xx numbering series. These engines with the later cab are often known as the 38xx class, but are actually the 2884 sub-class, all being considered to be 28xx class to the GWR.

DCC Ready. 6-pin decoder required for DCC operation.

The Graham Farish Castle completely retooled, creating a detailed, fine scale replica of these powerful express passenger engines. Earl of Dunraven is a great example of the single chimney version, painted in full Great Western lined green livery.
The GWR Castles were a true landmark locomotive, among the most powerful and efficient locomotives in Britain from the 1920s right through to the end of steam. Equally at home on express passenger or fast milk and goods trains 171 locomotives were built between 1923 and 1950.
 
Era 3 1923-1948. NEM coupler pockets. DCC Ready 6 pin decoder required for DCC operation.

The Graham Farish Castle is to be completely retooled, creating a detailed, fine scale replica of these powerful express passenger engines. A number of options are being designed into the new tools, providing for single or double chimney and other fittings and detail differences.

The GWR Castles were a true landmark locomotive, among the most powerful and efficient locomotives in Britain during the 1920s and incorporating the full development of G J Churchwards' engineering vision. Both the LMS and Southern built express passenger engines based on Castle specifications, while Gresley pacifics were re-designed to incorporate the findings of comparative trials.
Equally at home on express passenger or fast milk and goods trains 171 locomotives were built between 1923 and 1950, serving until the end of steam on the Western.

This model of 5070 Sir Daniel Gooch is painted in the full British Railways lined green express passenger livery with later lion holding wheel crest. Please note this is a change from the model listed in the catalogue.
