Manufacturer description

The all-new Bachmann Branchline Bulleid Coaches have been designed from the rails up and these stunning models capture every element of Bulleid’s modernistic design to a tee. These steel-bodied coaches went on to influence the ubiquitous British Railways Mark 1 Standard Coaching Stock, and we hope you will agree that we’ve really done these important coaches justice in model form. This model depicts Brake Third Semi-Open No. S4005 in BR Crimson & Cream livery.

Every Bachmann Branchline Bulleid Coach 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.
