Manufacturer description

The Diagram 2017 Third Open is the next model to join the highly acclaimed Bachmann Branchline range of Bulleid Coaches. The majority of these vehicles were built by British Railways following Nationalisation and most 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, meaning you can either add one or more to any existing train or use these to kickstart a new rake of coaches!

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.
