The Class 25 Diesel Locomotive has long been a fixture of the Bachmann Branchline OO scale range, but this all-new model owes nothing to its predecessors. Designed from the rails up, this new family Class 25s from Bachmann Branchline encompasses Class 25/1s, 25/2s and 25/3s, capturing the differences – some small, some anything but – between the three distinct types. Regardless of the particular locomotive being depicted, every model features high fidelity mouldings and numerous separately fitted parts, with the utmost attention to detail paid to the features of the prototype.

Regardless of the particular locomotive being depicted, every model features high fidelity mouldings and numerous separately fitted parts, with the utmost attention to detail paid to the features of the prototype.Having been allocated for engineering service D7672/25322 was one of the last of the class in service and was repainted into the 1960s era two-tone green livery and named Tamworth Castle for farewell railtours. After final withdraw this locomotive was purchased for preservation.
The Class 350 wears the London Northwestern Railway livery – with its contrasting shades of grey and green – so very well, and this attractive scheme has been scaled down and applied to the N scale model using Graham Farish’s usual attention to detail. The model is equipped with a powerful drive mechanism which incorporates a flywheel for smooth operation and is fitted with 6-pin decoder sockets making it easy to equip the model for use on DCC.
Finished in the blue, orange and red livery of the prototype, this new model builds on the success of the Graham Farish Class 350 EMU and like the real Class 450s, the pantograph well is modelled unoccupied and instead, contact shoes are fitted to the bogies for third-rail current collection.

Rail has long played an important role in transporting fuel around the UK, the thirst for was growing strongly by the mid-twentieth century thanks to the advent of air travel, the private motor vehicle and the dieselisation of Britain’s railways. New, larger wagons were required to meet the demand for fuel transport and the TEA Bogie Tank Wagon provided the answer. The first examples were built during the 1960s with construction of similar types continuing for several decades. TEAs and their derivatives remain the core mode of transport for oil and fuel products today.
The BR Standard 20 Ton Brake Van is a classic vehicle and a must for any freight collection or goods yard scene. A mandatory requirement as part of all goods trains until 1968, and in use well into the 1980s with unfitted trains and other selected services, the brake van provided braking facilities and offered the Guard a refuge from the elements in which to stay warm and dry, whilst observing operations via the end windows or side duckets.
Early 14 Ton Tank Wagons with timber saddles, cradles and wire hawsers were built in response to the need for oil products to fuel Britain’s rapid development during the early-twentieth century, along with two world wars. As the hostilities of World War Two drew to a close, a new design of tank with a central anchor mechanism securing the tank to the chassis was agreed between the private operators, the Petroleum Board and the railway companies. Construction of this new wagon did not pick up pace until the early-1950s, and with the introduction of larger, vacuum braked tank wagons during the late-1950s, the Anchor-Mount design soon became obsolete, and the final wagons of this type were built in 1963.
The new Bachmann Branchline tooling allows a range of ‘Palvan’ models to be produced, depicting the various differences incorporated into the different build lots and during their service lives, for example this ‘Palvan’ is fitted with Morton Brakes and the associated tie-bar, oil axleboxes and spindle buffers. With a high level of detail across the model, separately-fitted parts include the door hold open brackets, handrails and chalk boards on each side and end. The bufferbeams sport separate lamp brackets, vacuum pipe brackets and coupling hooks, and the chassis features a full complement of brake gear. Standard tension lock couplings are fitted via NEM pockets whilst optional accessories include the vacuum brake pipe and Instanter couplings.

A highly detailed model of the British railways Mk.1 series post office sorting vans, built in the 1950s to re-equip the Royal Mail travelling post office trains. The POS was a sorting van, containing pigeon holes for the post office crew to sort letters while the train was moving. Some of these coaches were also fitted with exchange apparatus, drop arms and a large catcher net, to allow mail to be dropped and collected from the lineside without stopping, but this practice had ceased by the 1970s.
This model represents the final era of the Travelling Post Office, the coaches having been repainted into Post Office red. This vehicle carries the Royal Mail Travelling Post Office lettering.

This model represents the Travelling Post Office coaches from the corporate era of British Rail, painted in the standard blue and grey livery. This is the plain side of the coach, the sorting pigeon-holes were on this side of the coach.Note the red painted late posting box in the side of the coach. Members of the public could post mail for the destinations served by the travelling post office train up until the time of departure at an extra charge. Latterly it seems this service was used mainly by enthusiasts collecting the special TPO cancel stamp.

We are proud to present the iconic Quarry Hunslet as the launch locomotive for the new Bachmann Narrow Gauge NG7 Scale range. Depicting ‘Alice’, the locomotive built for the Dinorwic Quarry and after which the ‘Alice Class’ was named, this new model builds on the success of its smaller, award-winning Bachmann Narrow Gauge OO9 scale cousin. The larger NG7 scale affords a higher level of detail, along with an enhanced technical specification which includes a Next18 DCC decoder socket, pre-fitted speaker and firebox lighting system – which comes into full effect when the hinged firebox door is posed in the open position.
