Bachmann Collectors Club’s first new products for 2023 sees an exclusive JJA Mk2 Auto Ballaster which has been made of the award-winning Bachmann Branchline tooling. The release sees two impressive examples of the Auto Ballasters which feature the Network Rail livery and are available to buy now for Bachmann Collectors Club members only.

The models are available in either Generator or non-Generator and have been finished to an incredible standard in order to represent the prototypes with their original RailTrack blue livery covered with a yellow band and Network Rail’s yellow branding. The strip is immaculate on both sides of the wagon and is in contrast to the worn and rusted paintwork detailing which surrounds it, the model demonstrates the specialist weathered finishing which has been expertly applied to each model.

Made up of hundreds of components, the Auto Ballasters are also decorated with multiple paint applications which see over seventy print applications for every wagon in order to re-create the vast array of markings and warnings which are featured on the prototype. The fine level of detail captured in the model is also durable allowing for everyday usage and a mark of excellent craftsmanship.

The resulting finish of this premium product is not one which can be sold commercially through Bachmann’s retail partners however it is exclusively offering the models to Bachmann Collectors Club members.

The Auto Ballaster is priced at £94.95 each and both models are available to buy now!
