Manufacturer description

Announced as part of our Summer 2022 British Railway Announcements, we are delighted to present the LMS 50ft Inspection Saloon in BR InterCity Swallow livery.

Inspection Saloons were built by each of the major railway companies and this LMS 50ft design proved very popular indeed, with BR building further examples to the same design some years after Nationalisation. Faithfully replicated in OO scale by Bachmann Branchline, this model features a wealth of separately fitted detail parts, coupled with the exquisite livery application that Bachmann Branchline models are renowned for. Couple the LMS Inspection Saloon to a locomotive of your choice and you have a complete train in an instant, ready to provide railway officials or special dignitaries with luxury travel and unprecedented views of the line.
