Bachmann to Support Andy's Man Club with a Model of 69013

Bachmann Europe has partnered with GB Railfreight to launch a special OO scale model of Class 69 No. 69013, created to support Andy’s Man Club, a charity focused on men's mental health and suicide prevention. Finished in a bold black livery with official branding, helpline details, and the #itsokaytotalk hashtag, this unique locomotive debuted in April 2025 and now joins the Bachmann Branchline range, with delivery expected in late 2026. Bachmann is donating proceeds from every sale and, fittingly, aims to raise £13,000 in support of the charity, matching No. 69013’s position in the 16-strong Class 69 fleet.

While 69013’s unique cab design cannot be replicated exactly due to tooling limitations, the model is based on the same advanced platform as the rest of the Branchline Class 69 series, offering full lighting, operating roof fans, and innovative Auto-Release DCC couplings. This release is about more than just incredible detail; it’s about making a difference. Pre-order today and help bring awareness to an important cause, while adding one of Britain’s newest diesels to your collection.
