Manufacturer description

The popular Class 45 Diesel Locomotive returns to the Bachmann Branchline range with this OO scale model depicting No. D49 ‘The Manchester Regiment’. Together with the Class 44s and 46s the classes were commonly known as the ‘Peaks’, because the Class 44s had been named after mountains in England and Wales, however those Class 45s that were named were after British Army Regiments and the Royal Marines. No. D49 is one such named example, being named after the Manchester Regiment of the British Army.
