Bachmann Branchline OO Gauge model of Class 170 Turbostar No.170301, finished in the distinctive South West Trains livery.

Important – Cab-End Marks
PLEASE NOTE – THERE ARE SOME COSMETIC MARKS AROUND THE CAB ENDS.
The model has some marks to the bodyside areas around the cab ends.
These are noted for transparency and should be taken into consideration when assessing the overall condition of this pre-owned unit.
Directional Lighting
The unit's directional lighting is operational and changes with the direction of travel as expected.
However, the lighting is fairly dull, which is characteristic of this particular Bachmann release.
This is noted for customer information rather than being identified as a lighting fault.

South West Trains Class 170 Turbostar
The Class 170 Turbostar, built by Bombardier, became a widely used regional diesel multiple unit, operating services for numerous train operating companies across Britain.
The distinctive South West Trains livery makes No.170301 particularly suitable for an OO Gauge layout representing the modern railway during the early privatisation period.
This pre-owned Bachmann two-car DMU has been tested and confirmed as running well, with working directional lights. The cosmetic marks around the cab ends and relatively dull lighting have been clearly identified for prospective purchasers.
