35-127A OO Gauge Class 20/3 20309 DRS Compass (Original)

This latest generation Bo-Bo diesel locomotive from Bachmann Branchline brings the classic BR Class 20 right up to date, capturing the subtle lines of these distinctive locomotives whilst sporting the modern look of the Class 20/3s – which had their ends made flush during refurbishment and fitted with Wipac light clusters and multiple working connectors. The high level of detail is brought to life by the intricate livery application, whilst the powerful drive mechanism, Plux22 DCC interface and a full suite of lighting offers the perfect complement to the model’s good looks.
