<p>JGA Bogie Hopper DB Schenker Red &#039;RMC 19232&#039;
The JGA Bogie Hoppers were built in Slovakia in the mid-1990s for Buxton Lime Industries and Tilcon, primarily working from Tunstead Quarry, operated by Buxton Lime Industries, near Buxton on the edge of the Peak District. Consisting of a large hopper with three pairs of bottom discharge doors, the wagons were used to transport lime products from the quarry for distribution around the UK and the type remains in use in limited numbers today.
Reproduced in OO Scale by Bachmann Branchline, the JGA model features a precision moulded bodyshell which captures the wagon&amp;rsquo;s distinctive sloping ends with their ribbed constructed. Below the solebar, the three sets of discharge doors are added separately, meanwhile a metal weight is concealed above each bogie to ensure smooth running. The bogies themselves are fitted with metal wheels and axles whilst the integrated NEM coupling pockets allow alternative couplings to be fitted with ease. Separate brakes are added and the bogies each sport spring and suspension detailing in full relief. The bold red livery of DB Schenker faithfully adorns the model, complete with the various markings and operating instructions that are found on the real wagons.

Whilst it could be said that the plain grey livery is the very definition of simplicity, the model&amp;rsquo;s paintwork is applied flawlessly complete with the VTG lettering and logo alongside the various markings and operating instructions that are found on the real wagons.

<p>HKA Bogie Hopper DB Schenker &#039;300649&#039;
The HKA Bogie Hopper Wagons originated from JMA Coal Hoppers which were ordered by National Power in the mid-1990s. After being acquired by EWS, many of the JMA fleet were fitted with new bogies and the resulting wagons received the TOPS code HKA – with their use subsequently expanded to aggregate traffic too. It is these wagons that form the prototype for this Bachmann Branchline model and the two variants – inner or outer wagons – can be modelled to suit individual needs. In normal operation HKAs run in fixed rakes with only buffers and conventional couplings fitted to the outer ends of the rake. Wagon-to-wagon coupling is by means of a buckeye, negating the need for buffers. The Branchline model can be configured as either; for an outer wagon the rectangular buffers, drawbar hook and screw-link coupling are fitted into the relevant bufferbeam receptacles, with a dummy tail lamp provided too, while for an inner variant the buckeye coupling and buckeye coupling lever is added.

<p>BR VBA Van EWS &#039;200557&#039;&amp;nbsp;
In the late 1960s British Railways required air braked stock to operate its new Air-Braked Network services – which would later be known as Speedlink -&amp;nbsp; and the Cov AB (Covered, Air Braked) van provided the answer, becoming BR&amp;rsquo;s first general purpose air braked van. Introduced from 1969, the Cov ABs had a modern appearance in comparison to the wooden box vans in widespread use at the time and the side of the van was constructed from a pair of doors, providing large openings for loading/unloading. When the Total Operations Processing System (TOPS) was introduced in the 1970s the vans were given the TOPS code VAB, VAA, VBA or VBB. Used to transport general merchandise, the vans were often marshalled into mixed goods trains as opposed to being operated as uniform rakes and could carry all manner of general merchandise. By the 1980s their traffic was reducing and so commenced their withdrawal although a small number remained in service towards the end of the century, coming under private ownership following Privatisation.
The Bachmann Branchline model employs a highly detailed bodyshell which boasts precision moulded panel lines, door handles and mechanisms, and fine rivet detailing. At either end a separate lamp iron is present, along with metal buffers and a cosmetic coupling hook. The solebar includes prototypical detailing along with the door runners, whilst the wagon&amp;rsquo;s suspension and brake gear is added using separate components. The metal wheelsets are mounted on a pivoting frame, allowing this long wheelbase wagon to traverse tight curves with ease whilst NEM coupling pockets are also incorporated. Authentic colours and typefaces are employed during the livery application process, completing this high-fidelity model.

<p>BR VDA Van BR Railfreight Distribution Sector &#039;200882&#039;
The VDA van was a development of British Rail&amp;rsquo;s Cov AB air-braked van which was first introduced in the late 1960s, with the VDAs entering traffic from 1975. Sharing the same 20ft 9in wheelbase as the original Cov ABs, the VDAs not only had sliding doors to allow the sides to be fully opened for loading/unloading but these doors could also be opened individually as cupboard doors to allow quicker access to just one internal area. The vans entered traffic in Speedlink services and were used to transport general merchandise, often being marshalled into mixed goods trains as opposed to being operated as uniform rakes and could carry all manner of general merchandise. By the 1980s their traffic was reducing and so many VDAs were rebuilt to suit new traffic, most notably as OTA timber carrying wagons or low sided ballast/spoil wagons where were often coded as ZCA &amp;lsquo;Sea Urchins&amp;rsquo;.

<p>BR VAA Van BR Railfreight Red &amp;amp; Grey &#039;200648&#039;
In the late 1960s British Railways required air braked stock to operate its new Air-Braked Network services – which would later be known as Speedlink -&amp;nbsp; and the Cov AB (Covered, Air Braked) van provided the answer, becoming BR&amp;rsquo;s first general purpose air braked van. Introduced from 1969, the Cov ABs had a modern appearance in comparison to the wooden box vans in widespread use at the time and the side of the van was constructed from a pair of doors, providing large openings for loading/unloading. When the Total Operations Processing System (TOPS) was introduced in the 1970s the vans were given the TOPS code VAB, VAA, VBA or VBB. Used to transport general merchandise, the vans were often marshalled into mixed goods trains as opposed to being operated as uniform rakes and could carry all manner of general merchandise. By the 1980s their traffic was reducing and so commenced their withdrawal although a small number remained in service towards the end of the century, coming under private ownership following Privatisation.
The Bachmann Branchline model employs a highly detailed bodyshell which boasts precision moulded panel lines, door handles and mechanisms, and fine rivet detailing. At either end a separate lamp iron is present, along with metal buffers and a cosmetic coupling hook. The solebar includes prototypical detailing along with the door runners, whilst the wagon&amp;rsquo;s suspension and brake gear is added using separate components. The metal wheelsets are mounted on a pivoting frame, allowing this long wheelbase wagon to traverse tight curves with ease whilst NEM coupling pockets are also incorporated. Authentic colours and typefaces are employed during the livery application process, completing this high-fidelity model.

<p>5 Plank Wagon Steel Floor &#039;Tarslag (1923) Ltd.&#039; Grey
Britain&amp;rsquo;s Railways were developed primarily to move freight and by the early twentieth century, hundreds of independent companies were operating their own wagons to transport their goods around the UK by rail. Fleet sizes ranged from small concerns with a single wagon to large enterprises whose wagon count could run into the hundreds. The majority of wagons in private ownership were wooden bodied open wagons and by far the most common commodity that they carried was coal, although other materials, including coke, minerals and aggregates might also be transported depending on the nature of business conducted by the wagon&amp;rsquo;s owner.
This model forms part of our new Railway Celebrations range, selected because of its close links to the Stockton &amp;amp; Darlington area and because it symbolises the revolution that the railways provided. Tarslag operated a fleet of hundreds of wagons to carry furnace slag and road asphalt and their operations embodied the freedom of movement afforded by the railway revolution, with concerns in Wolverhampton on the Great Western Railway and Stockton on Tees served by the LNER amongst others, trains including Tarslag wagons would be seen across the UK.
The Bachmann Branchline model portrays a 5 Plank Wagon with side doors to aid loading and unloading, and a steel floor. These details are faithfully replicated on the model, with neatly engraved plank lines and finely moulded metal work and rivets. Below the solebar the W irons, axleboxes and springs are all reproduced to great effect, with separate brakes and brake levers and metal door stops completing the look. The model runs on split spoked wheels which are of metal construction whilst metal buffer heads and cosmetic coupling hooks adorn the bufferbeams. Authentic colours and typefaces are employed during the livery application process, completing this high-fidelity model.

Britain&amp;rsquo;s Railways were developed primarily to move freight and by the early twentieth century, hundreds of independent companies were operating their own wagons to transport their goods around the UK by rail.

Following Nationalisation in 1948, most wagons would be absorbed into British Railways ownership.
Various types of 5 Plank Wagon were built, and this Bachmann Branchline model depicts one with side doors to aid loading and unloading, and a wooden floor.

Britain&amp;rsquo;s railways were developed primarily to move freight and over time, a wide range of wagons were developed to suit the varied cargo that the railway companies had been contracted to transport. Among them were short wheelbase, flat bed wagons with a single plank along each edge which was hinged and so could be lowered to allow cargo to be rolled on and off. Such wagons were employed to move things like tractors, motor cars and other relatively small machinery that was happy being exposed to the elements during the journey. Anchor points were provided on the wagon floor so that loads could be tied down, and the cargo could be sheeted if necessary to offer some protection from weather and general railway dirt.
The &amp;lsquo;Lowfit&amp;rsquo; wagon depicted by this Bachmann Branchline model was so called because of its low sides and fitted brakes and on the Branchline model, the wagon body is injection moulded, incorporating hinges along each edge and with securing chains represented at each corner. The wooden deck of the wagon is depicted with crisp engraving to define the separate wooden planks, while the metal rings fitted to each anchor point are replicated too. Below the solebar the W irons, axleboxes and springs are all reproduced to great effect, with separate brakes and brake leavers, brake linkage and a vacuum cylinder all present and correct. The model runs on 3-hole disc wheels which are of metal construction whilst metal buffer heads and cosmetic coupling hooks adorn the bufferbeams. Authentic colours and typefaces are employed during the livery application prototype, completing this high-fidelity model.

Brake Vans were once essential parts of any goods train and each railway company had its own designs, but perhaps none were as iconic and widely recognised as the Great Western Railway&amp;rsquo;s (GWR) &amp;lsquo;Toad&amp;rsquo; Brake Van. Found across the GWR network from the late 1800s and into BR ownership serving the Western Region and beyond, the &amp;lsquo;Toad&amp;rsquo; provided guards with a spacious cabin and large veranda at one end giving this classic GWR design its distinctive appearance.
The Bachmann Branchline &amp;lsquo;Toad&amp;rsquo; features an injection moulded bodyshell with plank detail alongside representations of the bodyside handrails and lamp brackets that were fixed to each side and end. The handbrake wheel sits prominently inside the open sided veranda, joined by two sandboxes, whilst below the solebar footboards are fitted separately, and metal spoked wheelsets are employed to provide smooth running. The livery application is to the high standard associated you&amp;rsquo;ve come to expect from a Bachmann Branchline model, making this &amp;lsquo;Toad&amp;rsquo; a perfect addition to any goods wagon fleet.

The BR Standard 20 Ton Brake Van is a classic vehicle and a must for any freight collection or goods yard scene. A mandatory requirement as part of all goods trains until 1968, and in use well into the 1980s with unfitted trains and other selected services, the brake van provided braking facilities and offered the Guard a refuge from the elements in which to stay warm and dry, whilst observing operations via the end windows or side duckets.
The Bachmann Branchline 20T Brake Van has long been the model of choice to bring up the rear of many a goods train and it&amp;rsquo;s easy to see why this model is still a firm favourite. Capturing the character of the prototype, the Branchline model is adorned with separate handrails, roof vents – which on this example are of the oval torpedo variety – and lamp brackets. The footboards are also separately fitted, allowing different lengths to be modelled to suit the van being modelled – in this case long footboards are present.&amp;nbsp; This particular brake van also carries end weights, is fitted with end handrails, has planked sides and ends and has planked veranda partitions, whilst the cabin doors have two windowpanes each.
