PRESS INFORMATION 2019 Bachmann Branchline Catalogue Launched Bachmann Europe Plc has today launched its 2019 Bachmann Branchline catalogue at a trade event held in London. The Bachmann Branchline catalogue covers British outline OO Scale models. The Bachmann Narrow Gauge range of British outline OO9 Scale models is also featured and this range sees the introduction of the first Diesel Locomotive model, alongside no fewer than four new wagons based on those used by the Royal Naval Armaments Depot. New Tooling for the HKA Bogie Hopper Wagon has been developed, adding to the depth of modern wagons available from Bachmann Branchline. 2019 also sees the introduction of an increasing number of SOUND FITTED models – with SOUND FITTED versions of numerous models available alongside the standard non-sound versions in response to customer and consumer feedback. SOUND FITTED models will now feature the suffix ‘SF’ on their item number which will gradually replace the ‘DS’ suffix that was previously used. NEW TOOLING OO9 SCALE LOCOMOTIVES NEW TOOLING – BAGULEY-DREWRY 70HP DIESEL LOCOMOTIVE These ‘modern’ diesel locomotives were built by Baguley-Drewry in the early 1980s for use on the network of Narrow Gauge lines operated by the RNAD (Royal Naval Armaments Depot), augmenting their existing fleet of elderly locomotives. They worked trains carrying explosives and other sundries between the standard gauge exchange sheds and the various hidden storage locations. As the MoD began to consolidate operations, various depots were closed and the redundant locomotives and rolling stock was either moved to other locations or sold off – this staggered programme of disposals has allowed a good number of these locomotives to enter preservation and many now operate far outside their original remit. Preservation has also allowed several new liveries and names to be carried by the surviving locomotives. The Bachmann Narrow Gauge model will feature a 6 pin DCC decoder socket and NEM coupling pockets.

This programme included flat wagons, covered goods wagons (powder vans) and matching brake vans. The various types of wagons shared several features resulting in the fleet sharing a family resemblance. The most visible modification made under RNAD ownership was the addition of planked sides and sliding doors to the brake vans which were open-sided when built. The covered wagons have also seen modification with the removal of the sliding roof hatches in an attempt to make the vans watertight and therefore better suited to use as mobile storage units in their post-RNAD lives. Many of the wagons were sent straight for scrap once they became surplus to requirements, but luckily preservationists across the country took advantage of the favourable scrap prices at the time and a good number were brought back for private use. The relatively modern construction and strong chassis of these wagons has seen several examples used as the basis for conversion projects into wagon types not originally constructed including hopper wagons, open wagons and even tank wagons. The Bachmann Narrow Gauge models will feature NEM coupling pockets, with examples of wagons in both RNAD and private use being modelled.

To realise its plans, National Power ordered five locomotives along with a batch of 85 hopper wagons. The first wagons were delivered in May 1995 and they soon received the TOPS code JMA. In 1998 National Power sold its rail operations to national freight operator EWS. Whilst much of the fleet was stored out of service, in early-2009, those JMAs that were still in service were fitted with new bogies, receiving the TOPS code HKA. As is often the case with freight stock, the wagons were not repainted and many still carried National Power branding. In more recent years, DB Schenker, faced with a shortage of hopper wagons, began a programme to refurbish several of the JMAs that were previously in storage. New bogies have been fitted and the wagons subsequently reclassified as HKAs and several have now been outshopped in the vibrant DB Schenker red livery. The real wagons can be defined as inners (without buffers) and outers (with buffers) and the Branchline models will be supplied with plug-in buffers in the accessory pack, allowing consumers to configure their models to meet their own requirements. 38-036 HKA Bogie Hopper 'National Power' - weathered 38-037 HKA Bogie Hopper 'National Power' (De-Branded) - weathered 38-038 HKA Bogie Hopper DB Schenker NEW RELEASES OF EXISTING TOOLING OO9 Scale Locomotives 391-030 Baldwin 10-12-D Tank No. 4 Snailbeach District Railways Black - weathered 391-031DS Baldwin 10-12-D Tank 590 Welsh Highland Railway Lined Maroon – SOUND FITTED 391-032 Baldwin 10-12-D Tank E763 'Sid' SR Maunsell Green OO9 Scale Wagons 393-025A Bogie Covered Ambulance Van WD Grey 393-026A Bogie Covered Goods Wagon Nocton Estates L.
