Manufacturer description

Prefabricated ‘Nissen Huts’ were the brainchild of American-born, Canadian-British inventor and engineer Major Peter Norman Nissen who developed the design during World War One. Deployed extensively during both World Wars, these half cylindrical huts were made of corrugated steel sheets fixed to a metal frame and could provide accommodation for troops, prisoners of war and civilians – indeed many were used for temporary housing following the Second World War. With examples still in existence across the UK – many having been given a new lease of life as business premises and recreational spaces to name just two – this model can be justified in any scene set from the First World War to the present day.

MODEL FEATURES:

• OO Scale
• Highly detailed, hand painted model
• Fully decorated and ready to place on your layout

Catalogue listing

Bachmann Nissen Hut – Manufacturer Part Number 44‑110. This OO scale model reproduces a half‑cylindrical Nissen hut, a prefabricated structure originally designed by Major Peter Norman Nissen during the First World War. The huts were widely used by the British armed forces and civilian agencies in both World Wars and continued to serve as temporary accommodation after the Second World War; surviving examples are now often repurposed as commercial or recreational buildings.

The model was announced in the summer 2022 British Railway Announcements as part of the Scenecraft range, making a return to the line after a period of absence. It is suitable for hobby layouts depicting scenes from the First World War to the present day.

Features include a highly detailed, hand‑painted finish; full decoration; and a ready‑to‑place condition that requires no further assembly or painting.
