The Class 40 Diesel Locomotive has long been a highlight of the Bachmann Branchline OO scale fleet, and for 2023 this popular model has been upgraded to bring you more features than ever before. New tooling has also been produced and is employed here to depict this Scottish Region locomotive which has seen its headcode discs and communication doors replaced with central headcode panels. The distinguishing features of these Scottish locos – their square-cornered headcode boxes, the lack of handrails around the headcode boxes and the uneven bottom to the nose – are all present and correct on this model of No. 40063 which carries BR Blue livery.

With the DCC decoder interface upgraded to Plux22; new lighting features and enhanced speaker arrangements have also been employed on the Class 40 to enhance the operating experience. On track the model has a mighty presence, just like the real locomotives and, with its five pole, twin flywheel motor powering all six driving wheels, you can be sure of a performance to match too. This Class 40’s good looks are enriched by the superb livery application using true-to-prototype colours, fonts and logos to produce a model fit for any collection.
