Bachmann Europe Plc has today released its O gauge Brassworks BR Standard 4MT 2-6-4T locomotive.

A total of 155 locomotives were built between 1951 and 1957. They saw service on all regions of British Railways with the exception of the Western Region and were used mainly for branch line and suburban passenger duties. With the closure of many branch lines and impending dieselisation, the first locomotive was withdrawn in May 1964 and the last in July 1967. Fifteen of the class have been preserved for use on heritage railways.

The Bachmann Brassworks O gauge locomotives are now available in brass finish (BW065) at 817.50 and in unlined painted black (BW066) at 850.00.
