A total of 302 vehicles were built – each of which shared the same body profile as BR Mark 1 coaching stock – and these were formed into two- and three-car units. Although these Cravens units were used principally on Eastern Region services around Hull, Lincolnshire, East Anglia and local services to\/from London King's Cross, the Class was delivered to no fewer than four different regions when first built, with examples also going to the London Midland, North Eastern and Scottish Regions – this variety was unprecedented amongst First Generation DMUs. The majority were two-car sets, with only the Midland Region receiving any quantity of 3-car units. Their looks and similarities to the Mk1, along with other quirks of the type, made for a characterful unit that became popular with enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs traffic requirements changed and transfers occurred, several of the Class that were first assigned to work on the former Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway lines were moved to work in and out of London King's Cross. As lines closed, the Cravens units were dispersed further and examples could be found across the UK, notably at Tyseley depot in Birmingham. The electrification of the lines from London King's Cross and the introduction of the Class 313 EMUs in 1976 saw many Cravens units transferred away to other cities and regions. Although several First Generation DMUs were selected for Refurbishment programmes during the late-1970s, the 105s were not among them and so withdrawals began as newer units were introduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNorwich was the last depot to operate the Cravens units, with one unit being returned to green livery, and gaining a somewhat celebrity status towards the end of its service life. The final vehicles were withdrawn from passenger service in 1988, however a small number had already been repurposed for parcels traffic and the final such examples survived until 1989, whilst others found a short reprieve in route learning or Sandite use – but these too had gone by May 1990. The presence of Asbestos deterred most preservations and so ultimately most of the 105s were scrapped, however one two-car set survives at the East Lancashire Railway and has recently returned to traffic after a 20 year refurbishment, whilst a third vehicle survives at the Llangollen Railway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48294284329237,"sku":"31-326B","price":210.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0073\/9291\/9599\/files\/31-326bclass1052-cardmubrgreen_speedwhiskers_-22707-large.jpg?v=1716030983"},{"product_id":"31-496-bachmann-class-158-2-car-dmu-158761-regional-railways","title":"31-496 Bachmann Class 158 2 Car DMU 158761 Regional Railways","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe pinnacle of OO scale second generation DMUs, the Branchline Class 158 combines high fidelity bodyshells with an underframe that‚Äôs adorned with separate components depicting the engines, electrical equipment, and auxiliary gear.

They were built to replace many locomotive-hauled passenger trains, thereby reducing cost of operation, and to allow cascading of existing Sprinter units to replace elderly 'heritage' DMUs. The majority of the 182-strong fleet of Class 158 units were built as two-car sets, with 17 three-car units constructed specifically for use on Trans-Pennine services. Similar three-car units were built for use by Network SouthEast but these were converted to Class 159 specification before introduced into service, with toilet retention tanks and other modifications to operate over the third-rail network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll the Class 158s remain in service today, with operators including ScotRail, Northern, Great Western (GWR), East Midlands Trains (now EMR), and Transport for Wales (formerly Arriva). Former operators include Central Trains. The Class has worked extensively across the UK network, even into East Anglia as far as Stansted Airport and Norwich. Some 158s have been converted to additional Class 159s and now operate for South Western alongside their original classmates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48294635274517,"sku":"31-511ASF","price":429.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0073\/9291\/9599\/files\/31-511asfclass1582-cardmuarrivatrainswales_revised_-24794-large.jpg?v=1716043775"},{"product_id":"31-520-bachmann-class-159-3-car-dmu-br-network-southeast","title":"31-520 Bachmann Class 159 3-Car DMU BR Network SouthEast","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eClass 159\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eis a three-car derivative of the Class 158 – one of British Rail’s most successful second generation Diesel Multiple Units (DMUs).

The units were initially ordered by Regional Railways and built as Class 158s by British Rail Engineering Limited (BREL) at Derby Litchurch Lane Works, however when it was discovered that Regional Railways had over ordered, Network SouthEast agreed to take on surplus units. Network SouthEast had its own requirements for the units and, unable to reach an agreement with BREL to deviate from the original order, Babcock Rail rebuilt the 158s into 159s with the addition of First Class accommodation and retention toilets to operate over the third rail network. Initially, 22 three-car units were rebuilt as Class 159s, but in 2006\/2007 an additional eight units were created by converting redundant TransPennie three-car Class 158s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOperating from a dedicated depot at Salisbury and principally on the West of England Main Line, the 159s passed to South West Trains upon Privatisation and are now used by South Western Railway.

All of the original units remain in service, along with 7 of the 8 additional units, the 8th having been damaged in the Salisbury rail crash in 2021, following which two of its vehicles were scrapped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48299763532053,"sku":"31-520","price":339.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0073\/9291\/9599\/files\/31-520-bachmann-branchline-class-159-3-car-dmu-br-network-southeast-revised--49254-p.jpg?v=1716214137"},{"product_id":"31-496sf-class-158-2-car-dmu-158761-br-provincial-express-sound-fitted","title":"31-496SF Class 158 2-Car DMU 158761 BR Provincial (Express) SOUND FITTED","description":"\u003cp\u003eA highlight for many of the\u003cspan\u003e¬†\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinter 2022\/3 British Railway Announcements\u003c\/strong\u003e, we are delighted to welcome the return of the\u003cspan\u003e¬†\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClass 158 Diesel Multiple Unit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e¬†\u003c\/span\u003eto the Bachmann Branchline range.¬†This two-car DMU is finished in\u003cspan\u003e¬†\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBR Provincial Express\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e¬†\u003c\/span\u003elivery with\u003cspan\u003e¬†\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSOUND FITTED\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pinnacle of second generation DMUs, the Branchline Class 158 combines high fidelity bodyshells with an underframe that‚Äôs adorned with separate components depicting the engines, electrical equipment, and auxiliary gear.

They were built to replace many locomotive-hauled passenger trains, thereby reducing cost of operation, and to allow cascading of existing Sprinter units to replace elderly 'heritage' DMUs. The majority of the 182-strong fleet of Class 158 units were built as two-car sets, with 17 three-car units constructed specifically for use on Trans-Pennine services. Similar three-car units were built for use by Network SouthEast but these were converted to Class 159 specification before introduced into service, with toilet retention tanks and other modifications to operate over the third-rail network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll the Class 158s remain in service today, with operators including ScotRail, Northern, Great Western (GWR), East Midlands Trains (now EMR), and Transport for Wales (formerly Arriva). Former operators include Central Trains. The Class has worked extensively across the UK network, even into East Anglia as far as Stansted Airport and Norwich. Some 158s have been converted to additional Class 159s and now operate for South Western alongside their original classmates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48366774616341,"sku":"31-496SF","price":329.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0073\/9291\/9599\/files\/31-496_class_158_2-car_dmu_158761_br_provincial_express_sound_fitted-23519-large.jpg?v=1718879040"},{"product_id":"efe-rail-e83021-class-143-no-143603-gwr-green","title":"E83021 Class 143 No. 143603 GWR Green","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Class 143 Diesel Multiple Unit was part of British Rail’s Second Generation DMU fleet.

Nicknamed ‘Bubble Cars’, a total of 16 Class 121 Driving Motor Brake Second (DMBS) units were built by the Pressed Steel Company between 1960 and 1961 following the same basic design of the Class 117 3-Car DMU, featuring the standard ‘Derby’ cab and high-density seating. They were similar to the Class 122 DMUs but were distinguished by the presence of the four character headcode box above the cab. The single car units had a cab at each end, plus a guard’s area and seating for 65 passengers. Where additional capacity was required the Class 121s could be coupled with other DMUs that had blue square multiple working equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDelivered to the Western Region, the units were intended for use on branch lines in Cornwall and the Thames Valley. The Class later spread further across the Western Region, whilst also moving to other areas in due course, with several examples ending up with Network SouthEast following Sectorisation. Many of the Class were later repurposed for Departmental work although three remained in passenger service with Silverlink following Privatisation. Chiltern Railways were the final operator of the Class 121s, using two for services between Aylesbury and Princes Risborough, the final unit was withdrawn in 2017. A significant number of the Class survive in preservation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53623588847992,"sku":"35-530SF","price":299.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0073\/9291\/9599\/files\/32836-large.jpg?v=1729786152"},{"product_id":"35-531sf-class-121-single-car-dmu-w55034-br-white-blue-sound-fitted","title":"35-531SF Class 121 Single-Car DMU W55034 BR White \u0026 Blue - Sound Fitted","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Class 121 single-car Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) is Bachmann Branchline’s flagship First Generation multiple unit, equalled only by its 3-car Class 117 stablemate.

Nicknamed ‘Bubble Cars’, a total of 16 Class 121 Driving Motor Brake Second (DMBS) units were built by the Pressed Steel Company between 1960 and 1961 following the same basic design of the Class 117 3-Car DMU, featuring the standard ‘Derby’ cab and high-density seating. They were similar to the Class 122 DMUs but were distinguished by the presence of the four character headcode box above the cab. The single car units had a cab at each end, plus a guard’s area and seating for 65 passengers. Where additional capacity was required the Class 121s could be coupled with other DMUs that had blue square multiple working equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDelivered to the Western Region, the units were intended for use on branch lines in Cornwall and the Thames Valley. The Class later spread further across the Western Region, whilst also moving to other areas in due course, with several examples ending up with Network SouthEast following Sectorisation. Many of the Class were later repurposed for Departmental work although three remained in passenger service with Silverlink following Privatisation. Chiltern Railways were the final operator of the Class 121s, using two for services between Aylesbury and Princes Risborough, the final unit was withdrawn in 2017.

Ltd and offered petrol and diesel engine shunting locomotives. C.F. Cleaver, an engineer employed by Hardy Railmotors, realised that the successful 130 bhp 6-cylinder AEC diesel engine used in London buses would be suitable for powering a lightweight railcar. The first railcar was a prototype, No. 1, and the body was based on the popular DB diesel unit called ‘Flying Hamburger’. After wind tunnel tests, the body was streamlined, which earned them the nickname ‘flying bananas’. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe railcar was bought by GWR and soon, No. 1 was displayed at the International Commercial Motor Transport Exhibition at Olympia in November 1933, to much fanfare and great publicity. GWR ordered more railcars and a total of 38 diesel railcars were constructed between 1933-1942. In service for various purposes, ranging from branch-line working to twin-set rail cars working the Birmingham to Cardiff service, these railcars were unique to the main line. Eventually, the railcars were withdrawn from service between 1955 and 1962.

It may be hard to believe, but within these components and integrated into the underframe is hidden the drive mechanism, on the DMBS at least, which is totally invisible with no intrusion into the interior of the model. Talking of the interior and the fine detail extends inside the model too, complete with prototypical decoration.

In total, 39 3-car sets were built along with three pairs of spare driving vehicles, and all were deployed initially to BR’s Western Region, working the suburban routes out of London Paddington with the units largely based at Reading and Southall depots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough not originally fitted, between 1965 and 1972 gangways were added to all vehicles in the class. As other first generations units were withdrawn, the 117s became more widespread with some moving from the Western Region to Birmingham and Scotland, prior to the delivery of new units to replace them. Selected for life-extending refurbishment during the 1970s, the entire fleet was refurbished with new interiors and returned to traffic. The following decade saw units repainted into Regional Railways livery as Sectorisation began, and later Network SouthEast livery was applied to those working around London and in the south east.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithdrawals began as new, second generation units were introduced on their routes and the final bastions for the 117s were Haymarket depot in Scotland and Bletchley in England.
