Bachmann’s BR “Highlander” Pack Mk2 TSO & Class 101 DTCL is a model railway set produced by Highland Rail, representing a British Rail diesel multiple‑unit from the sectorisation era. The kit includes two coaches finished in pristine condition, one in Kyle Lime & Green livery and the other in Green/Cream, both featuring passenger figures. The coaches measure 247 mm and 270 mm respectively, and are classified as Tourist Standard Open (TSO) vehicles built to the British Railways Mark 2A design. The model is not equipped for DCC operation and requires a minimum curve radius of 438 mm (second radius).

The prototype unit was built between 1956 and 1960 by British Railways at Doncaster, with a total production run of 527 units. It was operated by British Rail Regional Railways under the classification Class 101, powered by diesel multiple‑unit traction and capable of a maximum speed of 70 mph. The original service life lasted 16 years, with withdrawal occurring in December 1964 (31/12/1964). The model is identified by manufacturer part number 39‑005 and represents the British Rail sectorisation period.
