Designed from the rails up, this new family Class 25s from Bachmann Branchline encompasses Class 25\/1s, 25\/2s and 25\/3s, capturing the differences – some small, some anything but – between the three distinct types. Regardless of the particular locomotive being depicted, every model features high fidelity mouldings and numerous separately fitted parts, with the utmost attention to detail paid to the features of the prototype.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur new Class 25 is brought to life with an exquisite livery application using true-to-prototype colours, fonts and logos. Following the precedent set by the Bachmann Branchline Class 47, and subsequently the 37 and 31 too, the Class 25 features a full lighting suite and is available in three formats; this standard model,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSOUND FITTED\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewith a pre-fitted DCC Sound Decoder, or\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSOUND FITTED DELUXE\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewith the award winning motorised radiator fan and authentic tinted windscreen glazing features!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBachmann Branchline OO Scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra 7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePristine BR Blue livery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRunning No. 25155\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquipped with a Plux22 DCC Decoder Socket – recommended Decoder \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bachmann.co.uk\/product\/plux22-dcc-loco-decoder-%28with-brake-button-function%29\/36-570A\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eitem No. 36-570B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength 202mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDETAIL VARIATIONS SPECIFIC TO THIS MODEL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLate Body with Cantrail Grilles – Class 25\/2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlazed Headcode Panels – displaying Blinds 3V09 and 2B36\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModified Long Exhaust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlated Bodyside Boiler Vent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlated Bodyside Steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlated Bodyside Water Filler Door\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal Battery Boxes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLate Pattern Sand Boxes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e510 Gallon Fuel Tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBACHMANN BRANCHLINE CLASS 25 SPECIFICATION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMECHANISM:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive pole, twin shaft motor with two flywheels providing drive to both bogies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll axle drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectrical pickup from all wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate metal bearings fitted to each axle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiecast metal chassis block and bogie towers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiecast metal gearboxes, with gearing arranged for prototypical running speeds and haulage capabilities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5mm (OO gauge) wheels to NEM310 \u0026amp;
