Here we find the driver’s cab, inside which is a seat and moulded control desk complete with controls and dials; separate windscreen wipers are fitted to the cab windows and an illuminated destination panel is also present which shows Lon. W’loo (London Waterloo) as the destination for our train. Between the DMOCs we find the Trailer Open Second Lavatory (TOSL) and the Trailer Open Second Lavatory Wheelchair (TOSLW). The real units collect their power from electrified third rails via collector shoes mounted to the bogies, and this detail is included on both bogies of each DMOC. Meanwhile, with the Class 450s being near-identical to the Class 350s, the 450 includes a pantograph well on the roof of the TOSLW – on a Class 350 a pantograph would be found here to collect power from overhead lines but on the 450, the well is unoccupied and this too is depicted faithfully on the Branchline model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommon throughout the four vehicles we find tables and chairs within the passenger saloon areas, and these are lit by the internal lighting, which extends to the driving cabs too. Tinted glazing is employed to replicate that found on the prototype, whilst the underside of each vehicle sports an appropriate complement of electrical boxes, brake equipment and auxiliary gear along with sandboxes where relevant – complete with separate metal sandpipes. Separate components adorn the roof of each vehicle, including the air conditioning units roof pods, along with the corridor gangways between each vehicle and at the cab ends, on the real trains these allow multiple units to work together with through access between trains. NEM coupling pockets are fitted to the cab-end bogies so you too can run two or more trains together, or the standard couplings can be unplugged and replaced with the cosmetic air dams and replica Dellners instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drive mechanism uses a powerful 5 pole motor with flywheel connected to two axles, each running in separate metal bearings, and incorporates a significant weight to create a smooth and responsive drivetrain that easily powers this one-metre long unit – all of which is fitted as discreetly as possible into the TOSLW vehicle. Beneath the TOSLW a removable panel gives easy access to the 21 pin DCC decoder socket and here the speaker space can also be found. Power is collected from every wheelset, with every axle running in metal bearings, and conductive couplings with integral close-coupling mechanisms are employed between the four cars to allow a single DCC decoder to be used to control the whole unit. As well as the interior lighting, which is supported by built-in capacitors to prevent light flicker, directional lighting is also present, with white lights displayed at the leading end and reds when trailing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurning our attention to the decoration and the livery artwork for this model has been prepared using original livery diagrams – to stunning effect! The clean and modern look of South Western Railway trains has been replicated in miniature, with the blue and grey contrasting perfectly. In our safety-conscious world it is no surprise that there are myriad warning stickers and other detailed graphics adorning the prototypes, and these too are recreated on the Branchline model, and most are legible too, bar the very smallest. The result is a metre-long masterpiece in miniature that will fit seamlessly into any modern scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMODEL FEATURES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBachmann Branchline OO Scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra 9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePristine South Western Railway livery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet No. 450036\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-Car Unit comprising DMOC No. 63236, TOSL No. 64236, TOSLW No. 68136 \u0026amp;

Here we find the driver’s cab, inside which is a seat and moulded control desk complete with controls and dials; separate windscreen wipers are fitted to the cab windows and an illuminated destination panel is also present which shows Lon. W’loo (London Waterloo) as the destination for our train. Between the DMOCs we find the Trailer Open Second Lavatory (TOSL) and the Trailer Open Second Lavatory Wheelchair (TOSLW). The real units collect their power from electrified third rails via collector shoes mounted to the bogies, and this detail is included on both bogies of each DMOC. Meanwhile, with the Class 450s being near-identical to the Class 350s, the 450 includes a pantograph well on the roof of the TOSLW – on a Class 350 a pantograph would be found here to collect power from overhead lines but on the 450, the well is unoccupied and this too is depicted faithfully on the Branchline model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommon throughout the four vehicles we find tables and chairs within the passenger saloon areas, and these are lit by the internal lighting, which extends to the driving cabs too. Tinted glazing is employed to replicate that found on the prototype, whilst the underside of each vehicle sports an appropriate complement of electrical boxes, brake equipment and auxiliary gear along with sandboxes where relevant – complete with separate metal sandpipes. Separate components adorn the roof of each vehicle, including the air conditioning units roof pods, along with the corridor gangways between each vehicle and at the cab ends, on the real trains these allow multiple units to work together with through access between trains. NEM coupling pockets are fitted to the cab-end bogies so you too can run two or more trains together, or the standard couplings can be unplugged and replaced with the cosmetic air dams and replica Dellners instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drive mechanism uses a powerful 5 pole motor with flywheel connected to two axles, each running in separate metal bearings, and incorporates a significant weight to create a smooth and responsive drivetrain that easily powers this one-metre long unit – all of which is fitted as discreetly as possible into the TOSLW vehicle. Beneath the TOSLW a removable panel gives easy access to the 21 pin DCC decoder socket and here the speaker space can also be found. Power is collected from every wheelset, with every axle running in metal bearings, and conductive couplings with integral close-coupling mechanisms are employed between the four cars to allow a single DCC decoder to be used to control the whole unit. As well as the interior lighting, which is supported by built-in capacitors to prevent light flicker, directional lighting is also present, with white lights displayed at the leading end and reds when trailing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurning our attention to the decoration and the livery artwork for this model has been prepared using original livery diagrams – to stunning effect! The clean and modern look of South Western Railway trains has been replicated in miniature, with the blue and grey contrasting perfectly. In our safety-conscious world it is no surprise that there are myriad warning stickers and other detailed graphics adorning the prototypes, and these too are recreated on the Branchline model, and most are legible too, bar the very smallest. The result is a metre-long masterpiece in miniature that will fit seamlessly into any modern scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMODEL FEATURES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBachmann Branchline OO Scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra 9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePristine South Western Railway livery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet No. 450036\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-Car Unit comprising DMOC No. 63236, TOSL No. 64236, TOSLW No. 68136 \u0026amp;
