32-487 Class 40 Diesel D213 'Andania' BR Green Small Yellow Panels

The Class 40 Diesel Locomotive has long been a highlight of the Bachmann Branchline OO scale fleet, and for 2023 this popular model has been upgraded to bring you more features than ever before. New tooling has also been produced and is employed here to depict ‘Andania’ which sports the modern addition of a high intensity headlight on each nose. ‘Andaina’, No. D213, is presented in her current operating condition in BR Green livery with Small Yellow Panels and complete with orange cantrail stripes.

With the DCC decoder interface upgraded to Plux22; new lighting features and enhanced speaker arrangements have also been employed on the Class 40 to enhance the operating experience. On track the model has a mighty presence, just like the real locomotives and, with its five pole, twin flywheel motor powering all six driving wheels, you can be sure of a performance to match too. This Class 40’s good looks are enriched by the superb livery application using true-to-prototype colours, fonts and logos to produce a model fit for any collection.
