Manufacturer description

Modellers of the BR Southern Region can look forward to forming an authentic Bulleid 3-coach set thanks in part to this new model of the Diagram 2123 Brake Second Semi-Open, which was one of three Bulleid coaches that made up ‘L Set’ No. 781. The Southern Railway had a long tradition of forming much of its coaching stock into semi-permanent sets and set No. 781 was formed in March 1947 when the three vehicles entered traffic; they would remain in this formation until the set was disbanded in 1967. The model accurately includes set No. 781 on the coach end and can be combined with 34-726A and 34-752 to create the authentic 3-coach set, and why not add some of our ‘loose’ coaches like the Brake Composite Corridor (34-761/A) and Second Open (34-826/A) to expand your fleet even further and provide extra capacity for busy services!

The highly acclaimed Bachmann Branchline models capture every element of Bulleid’s modernistic design to a tee. Every model incorporates a wealth of detail including separately fitted components such as roof vents, lamp irons, toilet filler & overflow pipework and the portrayal of a complete vacuum pipe-run between the sockets at each end of the vehicles. The bogies incorporate electrical pickups, brake details and footsteps as appropriate whilst authentic interiors are also included along with full underframe gear.
