We are delighted to present this N Scale model of the BR Mk1 POT Post Office Tender (Stowage) in original Post Office Red livery as part of the range of Bachmann Collectors Club exclusive models.
Partnered with our other POT (item No. 374-961K) and POS coaches in the same livery that have been offered in the Graham Farish main range, this new model will allow stunning steam-era postal trains to be assembled for the first time. Although the specific diagram of POT depicted by the Graham Farish model did not carry this livery in service, following the success of our OO Scale versions, we have been inundated with requests to replicate these in N and we are delighted to do so. For even better value, why not opt for our 4-coach pack with even greater member savings!
Using the Graham Farish model as its basis, this coach carries all the hallmarks of the iconic BR Mk1 design, the distinctive profile of the Mk1 coach is captured to a tee from the bodysides to the roof, which incorporates finely moulded ventilators. On the bodysides the handles and grab handles surrounding each door are moulded precisely, whilst the minute grilles adjacent to each of the small bodyside windows are engraved to great effect. At either end, the corridor gangway is complete with lamp irons on either side and within, the corridor door is modelled with its small window which is flush glazed – in the same way all of the windows on the model are. A metal grab handle is added to each end individually, and ETH connections are present on the coach end and bufferbeam. Footboards are included on the solebars below each door whilst the underframe sports a full complement of equipment, with the truss rod frames modelled in all their glory and flanked by battery boxes, vacuum cylinders and other auxiliary equipment.
The bogies are fitted with metal wheelsets, whilst the standard N scale coupling is attached via a NEM coupling pocket to the close coupling mechanism that is fitted to the carriage floor, which operates in tandem with the bogie. The icing on the cake though is the livery application, using authentic colours, logos and fonts to give every model an exquisite appearance.
