31-999A LMS 10000 BR Black (Early Emblem)
The LMS ‘Twins’ – Nos. 10000 and 10001 – were the very first mainline diesel locomotives built in the UK and this Bachmann Branchline model tells the story of No. 10000 during its time working on the Southern Region.
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 as displayed on this model of No. 10000, which is depicted in its striking black and silver livery with early emblems.
The Bachmann Branchline model is a highly detailed replica of the pioneering prototype, adorned with numerous separately fitted components to accurately capture the appearance of this iconic 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. The 21 Pin DCC decoder socket makes it easy to equip this model for DCC use, and there’s space for a speaker to be fitted if you wish to add sound, or why not opt for our SOUND FITTED model and enjoy realistic sound effects straight out of the box – whether you’re running on analogue or DCC!
