The distinctive bonnet doors are fitted with separate handrails, with further separate handrails to be found around the cab, at the front of the locomotive and on the running plate. Lamps irons and windscreen wipers are each fitted individually, as is the flowerpot chimney and the turned metal air horn. With NEM coupling pockets, the standard tension lock couplings can be removed and replaced with the supplied filling piece to complete the look of the deep bufferbeams that are a feature of the prototype. Finished with an exquisite livery application using authentic colours, logos and fonts, this is an attractive addition to any OO scale collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMODEL FEATURES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBachmann Branchline OO Scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocomotive is now Preserved\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeathered BR Green (Wasp Stripes) livery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRunning No. D2099\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlowerpot Chimney\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadiator-side Steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle Air Horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNEM Coupling Pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSprung Buffers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowerful Coreless Motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed Cab Interior with pre-fitted Driver in one cab\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCab Lighting (when used on DCC only)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocomotive Ready to Accept a Speaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccessory Pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSOUND FITTED\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- Fitted with a Zimo MS590N18 DCC Sound Decoder - See below for the function list\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength 105mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSOUNDS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eF1 - Sound On\/Off\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eF2 - Brake\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eF3 - Horn (Playable)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eF4 - Two-Tone Horn\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eF5 - Light Engine Mode\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eF6 - Engine Idle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eF7 - Shunting Mode\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eF8 - Cold Start\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eF9 - Flange Squeal (Speed Related)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eF10 - Cab Light\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eF11 - Buffering Up\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eF12 - Coupling Sounds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eF13 - Low Toot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eF14 - High Toot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eF15 - Windscreen Wipers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eF16 - Dispatch Whistle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eF17 - On - Driver's Door Opening \/ Off - Driver's Door Closing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eF18 - Fade All Sounds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eF19 - On - “Draw up” \/ Off - “6ft, 4ft, 2ft, Whoa!”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eF20 - “Squeeze Up”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eF21 - On - \"Going Under” \/ Off - \"Clear to go under”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eF27 - Volume Down\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eF28 - Volume Up\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnalogue Users:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003ePlease note that normal load running sounds and any other automatic or randomised sounds will also operate when this model is used on analogue control (DC) straight from the box!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCLASS 03 HISTORY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Class 03 diesel shunters were introduced between 1957 and 1962 and with 230 built, the type was one of BR's most successful small 0-6-0 diesel-mechanical shunters and was adopted as BR’s standard small shunter. A development of the Class 04 ‘Drewry’ shunter, construction was shared between British Railways' Swindon Works and Doncaster Works and initial allocations for the class covered all regions except Scotland. Shunting was the main employment, with their short wheelbase and light weight making them particularly useful in areas where weight restrictions or tight trackwork existed. Examples were also assigned to station pilot duties and due to the short wheelbase, it was common for them to be coupled to a ‘shunter’s truck’ or ‘runner wagon’ to ensure sufficient length for reliable operation of track circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeighing in at 30 Tons, some 18 Tons less than the Class 08 diesel shunter, the Class 03’s were fitted with Gardner engines and their distinctive jackshaft drive arrangement gave the locomotives a top speed of 28½ mph. Despite their usefulness, a downturn in shunting requirements meant that withdrawals began in 1968, although the last remained in service on mainland Britain until 1987. Two examples operated on the Isle of Wight, with lowered cab roofs to account for the restricted loading gauge, and these remained in traffic on the island until 1993. One of these Isle of Wight locos, No. 03179, was resurrected by West Anglia Great Northern in 1998 to shunt their Hornsey Depot. Subsequently operated by First Capital Connect, the loco was finally withdrawn in 2008 after which the locomotive was preserved bringing the total number of surviving examples to 56.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53436458598739,"sku":"31-364BSF","price":269.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1028\/2985\/0963\/files\/Harburn_31-364BSF.jpg?v=1777287212","url":"https:\/\/www.harburnhobbies.co.uk\/products\/bachmann-br-class-03-d2099-br-green-wasp-stripes-sound-weath","provider":"Harburn Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
