JUNE 20: Two new Deltics and a ‘47’ for DPS

The Deltic Preservation Society (DPS) has commissioned three new ‘OO’ gauge limited edition models from Bachmann. Orders are being taken for 47408 Finsbury Park in BR blue, D9008 The Green Howards in BR two-tone green with small yellow warning panels and the same Deltic in BR blue as 55008. The two Deltics will be the first to feature working directional lights and will also have a revised front end tooling with authentic buffer cowls unique to D9008/55008. BR blue 47408 is due in July and will be limited to 500 pieces, while the two Deltics (500 of each) are expected next year.
