Product Focus – The Midlander Express Train Set

Last modified date

Our Bachmann Branchline OO Scale train set featuring The Midlander Express (30-285) is ideal for people who are looking to get into railway modelling, or for experienced modellers who are looking to expand their layout. The set is based upon one of British Railways’ most prestige express trains of the 1950s which ran between London and Birmingham.

Featuring the Jubilee Class 4-6-0 steam locomotive “Quebec” and two Mark One coaches in the newly introduced maroon livery, you have everything you need to recreate this classic train formation included. The set comes complete with an oval of track, measuring 910mm x 1250 mm, along with an AC mains wall transformer and controller.
