Manufacturer description

A Bachmann Branchline Train Set is the perfect entry into the wonderful world of model railways. Each set includes everything you need to get up and running so why not indulge today and start the hobby of a lifetime with the Eastern Express Train Set.

The leader of Sir Nigel Gresley’s Mixed Traffic V2 locomotives was named ‘Green Arrow’, after the express freight services operated by the ‘Big Four’ railway companies, and we’ve paired our model of No. 60800 ‘Green Arrow’ in its BR livery with two Newton Chambers Car Carriers to replicate an express service on BR’s Eastern Region during the final years of steam.
