31-995ASF LMS 10001 BR Lined Green (Late Crest) SOUND FITTED
The LMS ‘Twins’ – Nos. 10000 and 10001 – were the very first mainline diesel locomotives built in the UK and this Bachmann Branchline model pays homage to the youngest of the pair, 10001.
Built by the LMS and so becoming part of the Midland Region’s fleet under BR, after five years in traffic the ‘Twins’ were sent to the Southern Region (SR) between 1953 and 1955 for trails alongside the SR’s own prototype diesels. To work on the SR, additional headcode lights and brackets were fitted to suit the Southern 6 position headcode system and these remained a feature of both locomotives thereafter, as displayed on this model of No. 10001 which is depicted in BR Green livery and with the late crests that were applied by BR from 1956. By this time the pair had returned to the Midland Region and were employed on duties across the region.
The Bachmann Branchline model of No. 10001 is a highly detailed replica of the prototype, adorned with numerous separately fitted components to accurately capture the appearance of this pioneering machine. The livery application captures the splendour of this elegant locomotive, whilst engine room detailing has been replicated through the bodyside windows for the first time. Inside, the proven combination of a five pole motor and twin flywheels, driving both bogies and with all-wheel drive will provide enough power for any prototypical train. Smooth running is assured thanks to the use of separate metal bearings on each axle. Supplied with SOUND FITTED, this model is ready to run on analogue and DCC systems and will provide a range of authentic sound effects to bring another level of realism to your model railway.
