The Ffestiniog Railway Brake Third van has been a mainstay of passenger train formations on the North Wales narrow gauge line since it first entered traffic in 1921 and now, a model of this popular vehicle is available in OO9 Scale for the first time as part of the Bachmann Narrow Gauge range. Three Curly Roof Vans were built between 1873 and 1876 and whilst two of these were later broken up, one was rebuilt in 1920/1 to include two third class passenger compartments whilst retaining separate guard’s and passenger luggage compartments. The resulting vehicle has been in service with the Ffestiniog Railway ever since and today runs as No. 10 and remains in regular service. The Bachmann Narrow Gauge model is formed from a finely-detailed, injection-moulded bodyshell featuring intricate panel engraving, along with hinge and door handle detailing and separately fitted metal wire grab handles. The body is mounted onto a diecast metal underframe, with engraved planking on the guard’s platform and rivet detail along the solebar and at either end. Further external features include the prominent handrail provided for the guard along with the vacuum pipe support bracket and vacuum pipes at either end. Within the guard’s compartment a handbrake wheel is fitted and seating and partitions feature inside the passenger compartments, whilst below the solebar the models run on detailed bogies fitted with metal wheelsets with curved spoke wheels. NEM couplings are mounted to the underframe, into which standard OO9 scale couplings are fitted. This highly detailed model is brought to life by the livery application which combines a high quality paint finish with crisp, fully legible printed details to create this ready-to-run marvel.   MODEL FEATURES:
