This Bachmann Branchline model replicates No. 60527 ‘Sun Chariot’ which was the third of 15 A2s to be built, entering service in January 1948 and remaining in traffic until April 1965, leaving just four of its classmates still in use. The Branchline model is as elegant as its prototype and is built around a diecast metal running plate and chassis. The smokebox, boiler and cab are reproduced using precision injection moulding techniques with numerous details then added including the etched metal smoke deflectors for that characteristic front-end appearance. The model is adorned with metal handrails throughout, plus etched lamp irons in front of which mouldings depicting the LNER’s electric lamps have been added. Sandboxes and lubricators complete the running plate, meanwhile the chassis boasts suspension and brake detail and is finished with separate brake rigging.
