Bachmann Europe Plc has today released its fourth Gauge 1 (1/32nd scale) electrically powered locomotive, a British Railways Class 03 diesel locomotive.
A total of 228 locomotives were built between 1957 and 1962. They saw service on all regions of British Railways being used mainly for shunting and short distance trip working. They weighed just 30 tons and so were ideal for use on lines with light axle loadings. The first was withdrawn in 1968 and the last in 1993. A number remain in use on industrial railways in Belgium, Italy and at the UK. A large number have been preserved for use on heritage lines.
The Bachmann Brassworks Gauge 1 locomotives are now available in unlined painted green (BW1077) and blue livery (BW1076) at £635.00. The model will be released later in unpainted brass (BW1075).
