The Bachmann Class 04 shunter (model D2258) is a 0-6-0 diesel‑mechanical locomotive offered in OO gauge (1:76). It represents a British Rail shunter built by Drewry Car Co. with the prototype introduced in 1948 and production running from 1952 to 1962. The model measures 108 mm in length, features a plastic and metal chassis, NEM coupling pockets and tension‑lock couplers, and can negotiate a minimum curve radius of 371 mm.

The model reproduces the prototype's original appearance, including the distinctive wasp‑stripe detailing. It does not incorporate interior or directional lighting, sound, or DCC capability, making it a straightforward, static representation suitable for layouts requiring a compact shunting locomotive.
