Bachmann Branchline

Bachmann Trains is a US company owned by renowned Chinese manufacturer Kader Industries, providing highly detailed OO scale models. Bachmann Europe was formed in 1989 and soon established itself as a serious rival to Hornby with a portfolio of highly detailed and critically acclaimed model railway products.

Bachmann Branchline products come highly regarded and are respected equally by dealers and modellers, and you’ll find an extensive collection at Gaugemaster, including products at discount prices.

Our range of Bachmann trains includes steam locomotives encompassing many classes, from the humble Pannier Tank through to the handsome Double Fairlie.

Fans of diesel locomotives will not be disappointed with our collection of Bachmann trains either, as nearly every major class is represented, including the two big ones: the Class 37 and Class 47. These two classes were retooled to the highest of standards in 2022 and boast features such as tinted windows, motorised radiator fans, and high specification sound decoders.

Although often overlooked, modellers seeking electric locomotives will not be disappointed either, as many types are available from Bachmann Branchline. The entire collection of Bachmann trains is available as either analogue or DCC sound-fitted options.

We stock a huge selection of coaches and wagons covering all eras, regions, and train operators so whether you model BR, GWR, or the more eclectic modern railway, Bachmann is the brand for you. You can also shop Bachmann’s Scenecraft pre-built building and accessories at Gaugemaster to further bring your model railway to life, while the Bachmann Thomas and Friends collection is great for young train enthusiasts.
