Bachmann's Description & Specifications

The Class 150 Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) is an enduring design, first introduced in 1984 with much of the fleet remaining in service today. For the first time, the vibrant turquoise and white livery of historical operator Anglia Railways adorns the Branchline Class 150 DMU, on unit number 150245. The 150/2 sub-class is characterised by the gangway doors fitted to the cab ends, allowing two or more units to work in multiple whilst allowing access from one unit to another.

Constructed from a highly detailed bodyshell which is adorned with separate components like the cab front handrails, gangway connectors and exhaust, the Branchline model replicates the Class 150/2 faithfully. The underframe boasts a suite of parts to depict the engine, drive train, electrical gear and auxiliary equipment, while inside the model, passenger seating is included along with cab detail. The livery application, using authentic colours and accurate typefaces and logos just enhances the model’s good looks, while the powerful and smooth drive mechanism and pre-fitted DCC decoders in this SOUND FITTED model makes the Class 150 DMU the perfect addition to any 2000s era OO scale collection.

This model is a sales area exclusive and is only available from stockists in East Anglia, London and the South East.

The British Rail Class 150 "Sprinter" pioneered the second-generation DMU revolution that transformed British regional railways from 1984. Built by BREL York, 137 units introduced Mark 3 coach technology, Cummins diesel engines, and modern passenger amenities to replace aging heritage DMUs. Featuring unique 1/3 and 2/3 door positioning and 75mph capability, they served extensively across Great Britain on suburban and branch line services. Still operated by Great Western Railway, Northern, West Midlands Trains, and Transport for Wales after four decades, with unit 150231 achieving preservation status at Mid Hants Railway in 2025. Available as detailed models from Bachmann (OO) and Graham Farish (N gauge) in multiple liveries spanning their extensive operational history.
