Brassworks Gauge 1 Class 04
We are pleased to announce our fifth Gauge 1 (1/32nd scale) Bachmann Brassworks locomotive, a British Railways Class 04 diesel shunter.
The Vulcan Foundry and Robert, Stephenson & Hawthorn built a total of 140 locomotives of Drewry design between 1952 and 1962. Whilst the larger shunters such as the Class 08 were able to deal with most requirements, there existed in the 1950s a much larger network than today.
Some of the docks, factories and other facilities served had lines with tight curvature and it was necessary to introduce smaller locomotives, which could work them. One such locomotive was the Class 04.
Brassworks Gauge 1 Class 04(cont.)
The Bachmann Brassworks Gauge 1 Class 04 locomotives are available pre-painted in BR green livery (BW1024) or BR blue (BW1025) liveries. They are not supplied with crests, lining or numbers. Recommended retail price is £645.00

The last five units saw service around Manchester before being withdrawn on 24 December 2003. Over 40 vehicles have been preserved for use on Heritage Railways.
