Now, we are delighted to present the all-new Bachmann Branchline OO Scale Class 66 which has been designed from the rails up, capturing this modern icon like never before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe new Class 66 combines a high-fidelity, injection-moulded bodyshell with a heavy, diecast chassis to which separate main frames are fitted. A multitude of individual parts are then added, manufactured in both metal and plastic, to capture every element of the prototype. The HTCR radial bogies are reproduced in miniature using multiple components, with many separately added details, resulting in these true to life replicas which interface neatly with the locomotive’s frames for an authentic appearance and accurate ride height. The separate axle heads that each rotate smoothly and reliably when the model is moving, mimicking this characteristic feature of the prototype, is the finishing touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe colourful liveries of modern operators present some challenges when it comes to decorating our models, but with extensive research, close collaboration with the operators themselves and decades of experience producing beautifully finished models, we are able to replicate every detail. Paintwork is applied with a rich, uniform finish using original specification colours, which is then adorned with logos, typefaces and graphics, all reproduced authentically using multi-stage printing techniques to produce a model with the finest of looks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMeanwhile, ‘under the bonnet’ the new Class 66 boasts a high specification that utilises the latest advancements in model railway technology. A full lighting suite includes directional lights, with day and night mode and stabling mode, along with cab lights and machine room lights, all of which can be controlled to full effect when the model is used on DCC. Talking of DCC and this model is supplied with SOUND FITTED, meaning it’s pre-fitted with a ESU Loksound V5DCC Sound Decoder and uses our Dual Fitted XL speaker system to provide authentic sound effects straight out of the box. When running on DCC our Bach-Up Stay Alive System also comes into play, providing uninterrupted power to prevent stalling, light flicker and sound cut-outs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBachmann Branchline OO Scale\u003cbr\u003e\nEra 9\u003cbr\u003e\nPristine Colas Rail Freight livery\u003cbr\u003e\nRunning No. 66850\u003cbr\u003e\nNamed ‘David Maidment OBE’\u003cbr\u003e\nEtched Nameplates Included\u003cbr\u003e\nSOUND FITTED – Fitted with a ESU Loksound V5DCC Sound Decoder\u003cbr\u003e\nLength 282mm\u003cbr\u003e\nDETAIL VARIATIONS SPECIFIC TO THIS MODEL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal 4-Door Locomotive\u003cbr\u003e\n3-Piece Cab Side Windows with Separate Quarterlights\u003cbr\u003e\nOriginal ‘Bug-Eye’ Light Clusters (2-Lamps, Large Light Boxes)\u003cbr\u003e\nLarge Top Light Box\u003cbr\u003e\nStandard UK Pattern Buffers\u003cbr\u003e\nStandard Drawgear\u003cbr\u003e\nStandard Horn Box\u003cbr\u003e\nNRN Radio Pod on Roof\u003cbr\u003e\n4 Cab Vents\u003cbr\u003e\n4 Securing Lugs at each End – Closely Spaced\u003cbr\u003e\nCab Front Handrails with 5 Mounting Points\u003cbr\u003e\nCab Interiors with Pedestal Control Panels\u003cbr\u003e\nOriginal Sandboxes\u003cbr\u003e\nStraight Sandpipe Brackets\u003cbr\u003e\nSmooth Bogie Lifeguards\u003cbr\u003e\nCab Front Steps\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53340818145619,"sku":"50-004ASF","price":288.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1028\/2985\/0963\/files\/Harburn_50-004ASF.jpg?v=1774606275","url":"https:\/\/www.harburnhobbies.co.uk\/products\/50-004asf-class-66-8-66850-david-maidment-obe-colas-rail-freight-sound-fitted-special-offer","provider":"Harburn Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
