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. The Eastern Express DIGITAL Train Set will immerse you in the world of Digital Command Control (DCC); take control of your train using the Kinesis RailController App for Android and Apple devices or connect to a PC and you can use the RailController computer control software too.

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.
