The Midland Class 1532, and other 0-4-4Ts that were collectively classified as 1Ps by the London, Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS), formed the backbone of the LMS’s local and light passenger duties for decades, and now the OO scale model of this ornate prototype returns to the Bachmann Branchline range.

The LMS embarked on a programme to replace the 1P’s original round-top boilers with Belpaire boilers and No. 1370 is one such locomotive to have undergone this treatment. A miniature marvel, the Branchline model is packed with an impressive level of detail wherever you look. A significant proportion of the 1P is made from diecast metal, with fine engraving and detailing, which is complemented by precision moulded components capturing every aspect of the prototype in high fidelity. Sprung buffers are fitted to each bufferbeam, whilst in the cab, the locomotive controls are faithfully captured and decorated authentically.

A vast tooling suite caters for the many variations seen on the real locomotives throughout their careers, whilst the technical specification is equally impressive, employing a coreless motor and with a Next18 DCC Decoder socket, firebox lighting and pre-fitted speaker – SOUND FITTED models are available too. The livery application is the icing on the cake and whilst the LMS black livery is far from complex, the paint application is deep and consistent upon which sits the vibrant numbers and lettering, replicated using advance printing techniques to capture every element of decoration.
