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

Bachmann has released a new model of a Bulleid Brake Composite Corridor coach, classified as Diagram 2406, as part of their Branchline range. This vehicle is representative of the British Railways Late Crest period and features the BR (Southern Region) Green livery.

These coaches were built by British Railways in the months following nationalisation and were used as loose coaches to strengthen services at peak times or were detached part way through a journey to be hauled by a local or branch service. The Atlantic Coast Express is an example of the latter, where multiple coaches would be coupled to the main set and then removed at various points during the journey.

The model features a high level of detail, including separately fitted components such as roof vents, lamp irons, and toilet filler and overflow pipework. The bogies have electrical pickups, brake details, and footsteps, and the interior includes a complete underframe gear.

The model is produced in OO scale and is Era 5 compliant. It is available in BR (SR) Green livery with running number S6733S. Key features of the model include 10" window ventilators, strengthening ribs on the bodysides, twin vacuum brake cylinders, and a Bulleid-pattern battery box mounted offset. The model also features a close coupling mechanism and NEM coupling pockets.
