This weekend sees the return of the London Festival of Railway Modelling at the iconic Alexandra Palace, and Bachmann is proud to sponsor this event which this year celebrates its 25th anniversary.
Ahead of the show Bachmann are delighted to share some exciting news about the Graham Farish N Scale Class 20/0s which have had a makeover with new tooling and technical enhancements meaning we can offer new variants of the Class 20/0s, plus SOUND FITTED versions, for the first time.
New tooling has been added to the Graham Farish Class 20 suite allowing models of the locomotives that were built to work in Scotland to be offered for the first time.
Inside the detailed bodyshell, the model has gained a new chassis which is now equipped with a Next18 DCC Decoder interface and a pre-fitted speaker, allowing SOUND FITTED versions to be offered for the first time.
A full array of directional lighting completes the technology features of this impressive diesel, and a set of headcode discs is supplied with each model to allow the correct headcode to be displayed for individual requirement.

Prototype Information
The Class 20s (Also known as English Electric Type 1s) were produced by English Electric as part of the pilot scheme of new diesel locomotives for British Rail.
They were designed around relatively basic technology to provide motive power on a range of light freight workings, although on rare occasions some did work on passenger services.
Their single cab design led to some visibility problems, so they often operated in pairs with the cabs leading at either end. Remarkably, a number of the class are still in use on the mainline to this day, a testament to the robustness of this classic design.
