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. Second Opens were amongst the Bulleid Coaches that were later transferred away from the Southern Region, with some receiving BR Maroon livery as depicted by this model, before their eventual withdrawal.

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's Branchline range has expanded with the addition of a new SR Bulleid Second Open coach in BR Maroon livery. This model represents a coach from the late British Railways era, specifically the period from 1948 onwards.

Built by British Railways following nationalisation, these Second Opens were used as 'loose' coaches to strengthen services during peak times or were detached from trains part way through a journey. Some were later transferred to other regions, including those that received the BR Maroon livery, as depicted by this model.

The model features a high level of detail, with separately fitted components such as roof vents, lamp irons, toilet filler and overflow pipework, and a complete vacuum pipe-run between the sockets at each end of the vehicle. The bogies incorporate electrical pickups, brake details and footsteps as required, and the interior features authentic details.

This OO scale model is a Bachmann Branchline product, designed for Era 5. The model is painted in pristine BR Maroon livery and has a running number of Sc1500S. It features an accessory pack, NEM coupling pockets, a close coupling mechanism, and a length of 270mm over the couplings.
