Following the initial batch of the Brush Type Twos – Class 30s and Class 31s – in OO scale from Bachmann Branchline, the Bachmann Collectors Club has taken full advantage of this tooling to produce No. 31190 ‘Gryphon’ in the popular West Coast Railways Maroon livery.
With high fidelity mouldings, numerous separately fitted parts and countless tooling variations to capture the minutiae of the real locomotive 31190 'Gryphon' is brought to life with an unprecedented array of lighting features, our Dual Fitted speaker system - fitted to both the SOUND FITTED model, and the SOUND FITTED DELUXE model. The latter is the ultimate experience, with their motorised radiator fan, authentic tinted windscreen glazing and, for the first time ever, DCC-uncoupling – thanks to the Bachmann Auto-release Coupling System!
