 First pre-production samples of the Branchline Class 03 Diesel Shunter have arrived from China. Here in these photos Bachmann have applied livery to them to give you a better idea of how the finished items will look. These all new Branchline models feature die-cast running plate to help maintain adhesion over the driving wheels. Two types of exhaust will be available. The new Class 03 model will feature a 6 pin DCC decoder socket. Turned brass horns will be fitted along with an etched brass radiator grille and cab step safety grille. Item number 31-362 also features additional Air Tanks as the prototype locomotive incorporated air braking.   -------------------- |

Not sure - green or black, perhaps. No need for sound, but smell - just a whiff of diesel if one gets too close. heaven....

It would not be hard to put a bit of diesel somewhere in or on the model for that special smell. might need a reapplication every so often ! Not sure whether household authorities would approve if it was inside though.

I think I can offer a good home to a stray plain green one.
 As for the smell, warm 3 in 1 oil springs to mind.  Regards, Peter |

Hi Y'all,
Lovely numbers, I have been waiting for these to re-appear for a while. Only one query, will they go over Hornby uncouplers, or will Bachmann produce uncoupler ramps to suit (hint?!) Regards, Hugh Williams |

They never carried black Peter, which is why they're not doing that livery  By the time D2000 was delivered, the green livery had been adopted as standardQUOTE (Tomstrains @ 19 Jan 2010, 11:49) D2388 looks nice, How much are they? Have you looked on Bachmann's website Just over 50 quid RRP, IIRC-------------------- Ian Fleming
