Manufacturer description

The much-requested Diagram 2406 Brake Composite Corridor is the latest model to join the highly acclaimed Bachmann Branchline range of Bulleid Coaches. Built by British Railways in the months following Nationalisation, these BCKs were used as ‘loose’ coaches to strengthen services at peak times or were included in trains from which they would be detached part way through a journey. The Atlantic Coast Express is a prime example of the latter, whereby as many as six BCKs heading for alternative destinations might be coupled to the main set upon departure from London Waterloo, and then progressively removed during the journey to then be hauled as part of a local or branch service, or simply as a single coach, to their final destination.

Produced to the same high level of detail and fidelity as the current Bullied Coaches from Bachmann Branchline, these new 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.

Prototype information

The Bachmann Branchline range has added a new model to its collection of Bulleid Coaches, specifically the Diagram 2406 Brake Composite Corridor, which was used by British Railways in the early years following Nationalisation. These coaches were often used as 'loose' vehicles to strengthen services during peak times or were detached from main trains and hauled as single coaches to their final destinations.

The new model captures the modernistic design of the Bulleid coaches with attention to detail, including separately fitted components such as roof vents, lamp irons, and toilet filler and overflow pipework. The bogies feature electrical pickups, brake details, and footsteps, while authentic interiors and underframe gear are also included.

The model is produced to a high standard and features a number of details specific to this coach type, including 10" window ventilators, smooth bodysides, a single vacuum brake cylinder, and Bulleid-pattern battery boxes and dynamo. The model is available in BR (Ex-SR) Malachite Green livery with the running number S6736.
