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 Suburban Sulzer Train Set.

Trains have long moved commuters from the suburbs into the cities, and these services were once hauled by locomotives, as opposed to the multiple units commonly employed today. This Class 25 diesel locomotive with its Sulzer engine is the perfect motive power to haul these Suburban coaches and provide commuters with a Suburban Sulzer train service connecting the city to the suburbs.
