Bachmann PCA Wagon BCC11026 'Blue Circle Cement' Grey [W]

PCA Metalair Bulk Powder Wagon 'Blue Circle Cement' Grey [W] Rail has long been the favoured mode of transport for moving bulk goods and cement is just one commodity for which specialised wagons have been developed to facilitate this. In the mid-Twentieth century British Railways introduced the ‘Presflo’ wagons to carry powdered cement, which had previously been conveyed in goods vans in bagged form, and as time moved on new designs were sought to replace the distinctive ‘Presflos’. Many of the new cement wagons, which were coded PCAs under the Total Operations Processing System (TOPS), featured depressed centres or ‘V’ tanks, but the ‘Metalairs’ built for Blue Circle Cement had parallel tanks. The wagons were built by Powell Duffryn and Procor in the mid-1980s and used a discharge system developed by Metalair; many remain in use today. The Bachmann Branchline ‘Metalair’ wagons are faithful 4mm scale replicas of the real thing, using injection moulded bodyshells to capture the distinctive shape of the parallel tank that is then adorned with separate tank filler hatches, walkways, ladders and end pipework. The chassis boasts a wealth of fine detail too, from the suspension and axleboxes which are modelled in full relief to the discharge pipework and brake components that are each added individually. The bufferbeams are finished with metal buffer heads, a cosmetic coupling hook and lamp iron, while metal wheelsets are employed along with NEM coupling pockets.

Bachmann SSA Scrap Wagon EWS 470078 [W]

SSA Scrap Wagon EWS 470078 [W] The POA Scrap Wagons were built from new or converted from other, redundant types, during the 1980s to carry scrap metal. The open box design was loaded and unloaded using grab machines or electro-magnets and the wagons entered traffic in a bold blue and yellow colour scheme. Built by Standard Wagon and owned privately by Standard Railfreight, in 1990 British Rail purchased the fleet of 191 wagons upon which they were recoded as SSA under the Total Operations Processing System (TOPS). The Bachmann Branchline model boasts an injection moulded bodyshell with separately fitted ladders on either side. The chassis incorporates a heavy metal weight providing a low centre of gravity which, combined with the blackened metal wheelsets, ensures smooth and reliable running.

Bachmann SR 12T Even Planked Ventilated Van Express Dairy Company N48359

SR 12T Even Planked Ventilated Van Express Dairy Company N48359 Britain’s railways were developed primarily to move freight and the early railway companies employed vans of many different designs to transport goods and merchandise that required covered transport. Each railway company had its own designs, and a defining feature of the Southern Railway’s standard vans was the elliptical roof. The vans were clad with planks of an even width, although later builds employed two widths of plank in a 2+2 formation, and later still plywood cladding was also used. The ventilators fitted at either end of the van allowed fresh air to circulate inside keeping perishable items cool whilst in transport. This Branchline models depicts one of the many ventilated vans built with even cladding, replicated with fine engraving whilst precision moulding captures the external bracing of the van body and the door hinges and locking detail, even down to individual rivets. The chassis employs metal wheelsets of the 3-hole disc variety, whilst the brakes, brake handles and associated gear is all included. Representing a van fitted with vacuum brakes, the brake cylinder is mounted underneath the wagon and brake pipes are fitted to each bufferbeam alongside metal buffer heads cosmetic coupling hooks.

Bachmann BR FVX Carflat Wagon BR Blue 'Motorail' 'B745075'

BR FVX Carflat Wagon BR Blue 'Motorail' 'B745075' Carflat Wagons allowed cars to be transported by rail, a practice that had started during the early twentieth century, but which became more common after World War Two as more families began realising the dream of owning their own motor vehicle. Many were built from old coach underframes that had had their bodies scrapped, with the type really coming to the fore in 1966 when British Rail launched its Motorail service, providing British holidaymakers with long distance train services where they could take their car on holiday with them, giving the convenience of independent transport whilst on holiday but without the long drive to get there. This Bachmann Branchline model depicts a BR-built Carflat, which to all intents and purposes is a standard BR Mk1 coach underframe running on a pair of BR B1 bogies. The deck of the vehicle is planked, and low side railings are fitted to prevent vehicles from accidentally driving off the side. Like a Mk1 coach, the underside of the vehicle is not overly populated but still features the typical truss frame along with vacuum brake cylinders and, unlike Mk1 coaches, has hand brake levers.     Details: Pristine BR Blue ‘Motorail’ livery Running No. B745075 Features: Accessory Pack NEM Coupling Pockets Length 270mm - OO Scale

Bachmann BR 22T CPV Presflo Bulk Powder Wagon 'Blue Circle' 'B888556'

BR 22T CPV Presflo Bulk Powder Wagon 'Blue Circle' 'B888556' When British Railways was formed in 1948, it inherited thousands of wagons from the big four. Whilst many of these wagons were perfectly suited for their intended purposes, BR identified a need for a purpose-built wagon to transport powered goods, such as cement, which previously were transported in bags in vans. So, in 1954 the first ‘Presflo’ (short for pressure flow) was built, which utilised the science of air fluidisation, a process which pumps air into the powder to prevent clumping and keep it loose, allowing the powder to be drained from the wagon efficiently. The design was very successful and lasted well into the 1980’s, finding use on different traffic flows up and down the country. This particular model depicts a ‘Presflo’ in BR Bauxite livery with ‘Blue Circle Bulk Cement’ company boards. This Bachmann Branchline ‘Presflo’ tooling suite comprehensively covers the history of these wagons, allowing us to produce a variety of different Presflo types. Our model features a wealth of separately fitted parts, including an end ladder, roof catwalk, handrails and underframe equipment. The ubiquitous BR Bauxite livery is applied using accurate colours and typefaces to produce an iconic wagon fit for any OO scale model railway.     Details: Pristine BR Bauxite ‘Blue Circle Cement’ livery Running No. B888556 Features: Accessory Pack NEM Coupling Pockets Length 87mm - OO Scale
