Description

31-578SF Bachmann Windhoff MPV 2-Car Set Network Rail Yellow – DCC Sound Fitted

The Windhoff MPV (Multi Purpose Vehicle) is a purpose-built two-car engineering/infrastructure train designed to meet the demands of the modern rail network. Introduced in 1999, the MPVs were introduced to replace the ageing fleet of departmental vehicles, many of which had been adapted or repurposed to meet departmental needs rather than being designed for the role they would eventually serve.

The MPVs entered service with Railtrack and are now operated by Network Rail, making this Branchline model a must for anyone with an interest in modern rail operations in the UK. Offered in the Network Rail Yellow colour scheme for the first time, the Branchline model comprises two highly detailed vehicles each adorned with multiple modules which sit on the two decks. Produced with a full complement of seven modules – most are removable allowing you to run the model with your choice of modules, or even without most of the modules at all. Numerous parts and countless decorations processes are used to accurately capture the minute detail seen on both vehicles and each of the seven modules, resulting in this stunning model. Supplied complete with SOUND FITTED, this model will add that extra level of realism straight out of the box whether you’re running on DCC or Analogue control.
