Manufacturer description
We are excited to present the new Bachmann Branchline model of the BR 12 Ton ‘Vanwide’ Ventilated Van, finished in Late BR Bauxite livery with ‘VAN’ lettering. Not previously available in OO scale, this Branchline models depicts the ‘Vanwide’ ventilated vans which were built to provide a wider door opening that the standard BR vans of the time which had hinged doors – the wider opening allowing pallets to be loaded and unloaded. With a similar specification to the new Branchline VEA, the Vanwide is made from all-new tooling and raises the bar in terms of detail and fidelity when it comes to OO scale vans. The highly detailed body includes separate wire handrails, separate lamp irons & end boards, and two variations of door runner (smooth or ribbed), whilst the underframe is a work of art with separate components fitted to represent the air brake gear, turned metal buffers and optional brake hangers and ties.
