Manufacturer description

The Diagram 2017 Second 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.

The Bachmann Branchline SR Bulleid Second Open 15" Vents BR (SR) Green model is part of the highly detailed and accurate range of Bulleid Coaches. These models are produced to represent the Second Open coaches that were built by British Railways following nationalisation in the post-war period. The coaches were primarily used to strengthen services during peak times or as part of trains that would be split part way through a journey.

The model is produced to the same high level of detail and fidelity as other Bachmann Branchline coaches, capturing the modernistic design of the Bulleid coaches. It includes a wealth of 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 the interior and underframe are also accurately represented.

The model features a pristine BR (Southern Region) Green livery, running number S1496S, and includes a range of accessories such as NEM coupling pockets and a close coupling mechanism. It is designed to be compatible with other OO scale models and has a length of 270mm over the couplings. The model is suitable for Era 5, representing the late British Railways period.
