BR Standard Class 4MT 4-6-0 to undergo major upgrade

Bachmann Europe Plc today announced at its Annual Trade Open Day that it is
to upgrade its OO gauge BR Standard 75xxx 4MT 4-6-0 over the next year by
introducing new body tooling and a new chassis to accommodate DCC sockets.
This model was one of the first to be introduced thirty years ago by the
former Mainline Railways and was produced for them by Bachmann's parent
company, Kader Industrial. When production of Bachmann commenced in 1989,
the BR Standard 4MT was reintroduced in 1990. It was last produced by
Bachmann in 2002.

Graham Hubbard, Managing Director said "the 75xxx is the next locomotive to
benefit from our on-going upgrade programme. It was one of the first
locomotives we introduced after starting the company and we reached a point
where the tooling had become life expired. The model is still in constant
demand and we feel the time is right to bring it back, albeit in a very
different form. Out goes the old split chassis and in its place will be a
new DCC Ready chassis. We will also retool the bodyshell resulting in a
brand new locomotive".
