32-346SFX Bachmann Class 25/2 25106 BR Blue [W]

32-346SFX Bachmann Class 25/2 Diesel Locomotive number 25 106 - BR Blue - Weathered

The Class 25 Diesel Locomotive has long been a fixture of the Bachmann Branchline OO scale range, but this all-new model owes nothing to its predecessors. Designed from the rails up, this new family Class 25s from Bachmann Branchline encompasses Class 25/1s, 25/2s and 25/3s, capturing the differences – some small, some anything but – between the three distinct types. Regardless of the particular locomotive being depicted, every model features high fidelity mouldings and numerous separately fitted parts, with the utmost attention to detail paid to the features of the prototype.

Our new Class 25 is brought to life with an exquisite livery application using true-to-prototype colours, fonts and logos. Following the precedent set by the Bachmann Branchline Class 47, and subsequently the 37 and 31 too, the Class 25 features a full lighting suite and is available in three formats; standard, SOUND FITTED or SOUND FITTED DELUXE as in the case of the example – this award winning specification features our motorised radiator fan system and authentic tinted windscreen!
