Era 11 (2016 to 2026) The Last Days of Privatisation
The Class 158 is one of British Rail’s most successful second generation Diesel Multiple Units (DMUs); first introduced in 1989, the entire fleet remains in traffic to this day. Northern is one of the current operators and their livery adorns this Bachmann Branchline SOUND FITTED model.
* Class names often change over the lifespan of a locomotive, so this is not necessarily the class name used by the operator in the period modelled.
