Manufacturer description

The 94xx Pannier Tank returns to the Bachmann Branchline range and with its unconventional appearance – with large water tanks and extended smokebox – this model will bring a real presence to any model railway. A quintessential part of the GWR for many decades, the Pannier Tank design was developed and refined before the 94xx, the final design of GWR tank engine, was produced. No. 9466, as depicted by this model, one of only two preserved examples, found fame after returning to steam in the mid-1980s and operated on the mainline hauling ‘Steam on the Met’ rail tours.

Prototype information

^* Class names often change over the lifespan of a locomotive, so this is not necessarily the class name used by the operator in the period modelled.

The Bachmann GWR 94xx Pannier Tank 9466 is a 138 mm (5½ in) scale model of a Great Western Railway 9400 class steam locomotive. It is supplied in a pristine finish with a green livery and carries the running number 9466. The model is DCC ready with an 18‑pin socket and uses NEM coupling. It bears the manufacturer part number 35‑025B and represents the period of the Big Four railway companies.

Technical details: motive power is steam; total production of the prototype class was 210 units. The model is part of the Bachmann Branchline range and is intended for use on model railway layouts.

The prototype No 9466 is one of only two preserved examples and became notable after returning to steam in the mid‑1980s, when it operated on the main line hauling “Steam on the Met” rail tours. The design reflects the final development of GWR pannier‑tank engines, characterised by large water tanks and an extended smokebox.
