BR Corporate Blue

The all-new Bachmann Branchline Class 20/0 broke cover in 2021, our first New Tooling project to be unveiled in the quarterly British Railway Announcements, and now we have more new models to share with you. Sporting BR Blue livery we have No. 20158 which is fitted with headcode boxes.

A detailed model of North British 'Baby Warship' type 2 or class 22 diesel hydraulic locomotive D6352 painted in the BR corporate rail blue livery with full yellow ends.
DCC sound system fitted.
The Dapol model represents the later body style with split headcode boxes and will be powered by a flywheel drive mechanism with Dapols' smooth running 'super-creep' motor and 40:1 drive ratio, which provides excellent slow-speed performance. The chassis incorporates directional lighting, a 21-pin DCC decoder socket and space for a sound system speaker has been designed into the fuel tank.
Due to the locomotives' amusing ability to shed the lower bodyside valences Dapol have supplied these as separate sections, along with detailing of the chassis sides, to allow missing panel details to be matched.

The popular Class 44 ‘Peak’ Diesel Locomotive returns to the Bachmann Branchline range with this OO scale model depicting No. 44007 ‘Ingleborough’. Known as the ‘Peaks’ because they were named after mountains in England and Wales, No. 44007 was named after the second highest mountain in the Yorkshire Dales.

The Bachmann Branchline model combines a finely-proportioned bodyshell with extensive detailing throughout, including separately fitted cab handrails, windscreen wipers, lamp brackets and sandpipes. With a powerful 5-pole motor fitted with twin flywheels which drives both bogies, these models have plenty of pulling power to haul even the longest trains. With a 21 Pin DCC decoder interface, it’s easy to add a decoder or sound decoder and speaker for use on DCC.

The popular Class 46 Diesel Locomotive returns to the Bachmann Branchline range with this OO scale model depicting No. 46045 in BR Blue livery after its headcode panels were removed and sealed beam headlights were fitted. Together with the Class 44s and 45s the classes were commonly known as the ‘Peaks’, because the Class 44s had been named after mountains in England and Wales, however all but one of the 56 Class 46s went unnamed.

The Class 47 is one of the most mass produced locomotives of the BR Fleet. These locomotives were designed and built between 1962 and 1968 by Brush Traction and British Rail Crewe Works. They were used all over the western region hauling passenger services and can still be seen running up and down the country with special services.

A highly detailed model of the British Railways Southern region class 73 electro-diesel locomotives. These are primarily third-rail electric locomotives but carry an auxiliary diesel engine for use away from electrified lines. Dapols model features a diecast chassis and all-wheel drive from a centrally mounted motor and flywheels allied to a highly detailed bodyshell with many separately fitted locomotive specific details to create both JA (73/0) and JB (73/1) variants.
This model is finished as BR type JB class 73/1 locomotive E6012 in electric blue livery with small warning panels.

The motor luggage vans were created to provide luggage capacity for the newly electrified boat train services. Electrically compatible with the Southern regions' EMU trains the luggage vans had the added feature of battery power, allowing the van to move onto the non-electrified dockside sidings to transfer passenger luggage directly to the ship loading conveyors. When running on the 3rd rail these vans can also haul a trailing load, resulting in occasional use to power parcels trains and at least one railtour!

This model will be painted in the BR corporate blue and grey livery of the 1970s and 80s.

The Brush Type Twos – Class 30s and Class 31s – are the next Diesel Locomotives to get the Bachmann Branchline treatment, with models of these long-lived prototypes joining the Branchline OO scale range for the first time. Following in the footsteps of their N scale counterparts from Graham Farish, these new OO scale models have all the hallmarks of the Branchline Class 37 & 47 locomotives and more.

Depicting a Class 31/1, this locomotive has had its Mirrlees engine replaced with an English Electric 12SVT and the Branchline model faithfully recreates this, with the correct roof exhaust ports and 12SVT engine block detail visible through the bodyside windows.
