Bachmann's Description & Specifications

The Class 150 Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) is an enduring design, first introduced in 1984 much of the fleet remains in service today with operators including London Northwestern Railway. The colourful green and grey livery of ‘LNR’ adorns the Branchline Class 150/1 DMU for the first time, on unit number 150139.

Constructed from a highly detailed bodyshell which is adorned with separate components like the cab front handrails, roof ariels and exhaust, the Branchline model replicates the Class 150/1 faithfully. This announcement is also the first time we have produced Class 150/1’s with an accessible toilet in the DMSL, as signified by the blanked off toilet window on one side. 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 modern OO scale collection.

This model is a sales area exclusive and is only available from stockists in North & Central Wales and Central England.

Class & Prototype

The BR 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.
