Bachmann Branchline pioneered the production of Southern Third Rail Electric Multiple Units (EMUs) with the introduction of the 4CEP, the first contemporary OO Scale model of its type and since that seminal release, further first generation EMUs have joined the Branchline range. The 2-HAP (later Class 414) is the most recent introduction and now, we are delighted to present this stunning two car set in BR Blue livery for the first time.
Like the real units, this 2-HAP comprises a Driving Motor Brake Second (DMBS) and a Driving Trailer Composite Lavatory (DTCL) and both vehicles are constructed from precision moulded bodyshells that are adorned with fine detail from the door handles, hinges and bumpers, to the steps at the inner ends. Metal wire handrails and filler pipes are also fitted to the inner ends, whilst the driving cabs are adorned with multiple working equipment, windscreen wipers and horns on the roof above, all fitted separately. Underneath each vehicle the truss frames and brake gear is depicted, along with a full set of auxiliary equipment and boxes. The flush glazed windows give a view of the internal seating which is made all the more visible thanks to the interior lighting, whilst the cab is fitted with a driver’s seat, control desk and brake wheel.
With conductive couplings employed between the two vehicles, mounted on close-coupling mechanisms, NEM coupling pockets are also fitted to the bogies at each end allowing multiple units to be coupled together. Each wheelset is fitted with electrical pickups and capacitors are used to provide back-up power preventing light flicker. Just a single 21 Pin decoder is required to use the model on DCC, or why not opt for a SOUND FITTED model which comes pre-fitted with a ESU Sound Decoder to provide authentic sound effects on DCC or Analogue Control straight out of the box.
