Product Description

Bachmann 39-873A LNWR 50ft Arc Roof Third Corridor LMS Crimson Lake

The Bachmann Branchline OO Scale models have been developed through meticulous research which has drawn upon the expertise of the London & North Western Railway Society and the M&GN Circle, to whom we offer our sincere thanks. With a comprehensive tooling suite, each of the four vehicle types can be modelled in various configurations depicting coaches at various points during their working lives.

With a single model comprising more than 175 individual components (depending on the specific variant and configuration), each coach is truly a work of art. The precision moulded bodyshells are adorned with separate ventilators above each window and door, separate turtle ventilators on the roof and emergency brake gear. Door handles are brass etchings which are added individually, along with the ornate grab handles which are formed from metal wire. Inside the passenger vehicles, brass handrails are fitted to the glazing to depict the handrails fitted along the corridor side windows. Further metal components come in the form of etched lamp irons and turned brass buffers, whilst on the roof turned brass toilet fillers are fitted, along with turned brass gas light fittings on models depicting gas-lit coaches. A novel feature of the Full Brake is the set of four sky light windows, fitted to the roof of the prototypes and replicated in 4mm scale with eye catching results.

The LNWR’s deep frame bogies are modelled with separately fitted brake and suspension components and are fitted with metal wheelsets, depicting either LNWR pattern wheels complete with their wooden centres or later all-metal wheels. The wheelsets run in metal bearings, incorporating electrical connections to aid those who may wish to fit additional features to their models.

Between the bogies, the underframe detailing includes finely detailed truss rods along with brake components which can be configured to depict coaches fitted with either Westinghouse or vacuum brakes. Large gas cylinders are fitted to gas-lit vehicles, and these are substituted for battery boxes on coaches that were upgraded to electric lighting. Standard OO scale tension lock couplings are fitted at either end, attached via NEM coupling pockets to the chassis-mounted close coupling mechanisms. The detailing continues inside the model, with seating and compartment partitions replicated, including compartment doors with hinge and handle detailing – even the toilet and hand basin are reproduced in the toilet compartments.
