OO Gauge | DCC FITTED | PRE-OWNED | LIGHTING FAULT
PLEASE NOTE – THIS IS A PRE-OWNED ITEM
Bachmann Branchline OO Gauge model of Class 170/2 Turbostar 2-car Diesel Multiple Unit No.170271, finished in the distinctive Anglia Railways livery.
The Class 170 Turbostar became a familiar sight on regional passenger services throughout Britain, with Anglia Railways operating the type across its network in East Anglia.
This two-car model represents No.170271 and is particularly suitable for a modern-image layout depicting regional passenger services during the late 1990s and early 2000s.
This example is DCC fitted, with the decoder currently programmed to address 1226. Some passenger figures have also been fitted internally, adding further realism to the model.
Please note that the directional lighting is not operating correctly, as detailed below.

Anglia Railways Class 170 Turbostar
The Class 170 Turbostar, built by Bombardier, was introduced as a modern regional diesel multiple unit, offering improved passenger accommodation and performance compared with many earlier DMU types.
The distinctive Anglia Railways livery makes No.170271 an attractive addition to an OO Gauge layout representing East Anglia's regional railway network.
This pre-owned Bachmann model includes internally fitted passenger figures and a DCC decoder, with the fixed-direction lighting behaviour clearly identified for prospective purchasers.
