Building on the success of the Branchline Class 158 with its low level, invisible drive train and comprehensive lighting suite, our new ‘Turbostar’ take things a step further with the addition of a Bach-Up Stay Alive System. Like the 158, a Plux22 DCC Decoder socket is located beneath a removable underframe panel and this controls all vehicles via the inter-car couplings which incorporate close-coupling mechanisms and multiway electrical connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lighting features include directional lights with day\/night modes and independent control of either end, a necessity when you’re working your units in multiple, which you can do thanks to the working miniature BSI couplings fitted to the outer ends, allowing the new 170 to couple in multiple or with other units like the Branchline 158s. Passenger saloon lighting is fitted as are illuminated destination panels, while DCC users can take advantage of the working door interlock lights, and cab lights too. On this \u003cstrong\u003eSOUND FITTED\u003c\/strong\u003e model, all of these lighting functions are controlled on DCC via the pre-fitted decoder which also produces authentic sounds for next level

168\/170\/171 ‘TURBOSTAR’ DMU HISTORY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ‘Turbostar’ Diesel Multiple Units (DMUs) were built by ADtranz (which later became Bombardier Transportation) at the historic Derby Litchurch Lane Works. The ‘Turbostars’ are a family of DMUs that share a modular design, much of which was derived from the earlier Class 165 and 166 DMUs which came from the ‘Networker’ family of units.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstruction of the first ‘Turbostars’ began in 1997, shortly after the Privatisation of British Rail, with Chiltern Railways placing the opening order for new units that would go on to be known as the Class 168s. The first vehicles to be outshopped used ‘Networker’ style cabs as the new cab design was still being finalised and these units were allocated Class 168\/0, whereas later builds which used the new ‘Turbostar’ cabs were classed as168\/1s and 168\/2s. The Class 168s were fitted with BSI couplings at the outer ends, with electrical connections that were compatible with the Class 165 and 166s that Chiltern had inherited from Network SouthEast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first Class 170 units were ordered by Midland Mainline with deliveries commencing in November 1998, the first units entering service in May the following year. Like the 168s, the Class 170s were fitted with BSI couplings but with standard electrical connections, allowing them to work in multiple with existing units in the Class 15x series. Construction took place over a seven year period at the end of which more than 120 units had been delivered in either 2-car or 3-car formations for multiple operators around the UK. The fleet is split into various subclasses, usually linked to the original operator and the train’s formation or interior layout as specified when new.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eConcurrent with production of the Class 170s, Southern placed an order for Class 171s that were delivered as 4-car Class 171\/8s in 2004. These differed from the 170s by having Dellner couplings instead of the BSI type at the outer ends, along with electronic destination panels on the bodysides. Southern had taken delivery of some 2-car Class 170s a year earlier and these were subsequently fitted with Dellner couplings and reclassified as 171\/7s joining a small number of 2-car units that were built as 171s from new.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, the ‘Turbostars’ are still in daily frontline service across the UK, working on both regional and long distance-services for which they remain well suited thanks to their 100mph top speed. Class 168s and 171s are still operated by Chiltern and Southern respectively, whilst current operators of the Class 170 fleet include Cross Country, East Midlands Railway, Northern and ScotRail.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann Branchline","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53620247691601,"sku":"35-602SF","price":382.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0865\/4992\/2129\/files\/35-602sf_1.jpg?v=1777053325","url":"https:\/\/www.jadlamracingmodels.com\/products\/bachmann-35-602sf-class-170-1-2-car-dmu-170111-cross-country-sound-fitted","provider":"Jadlam Toys \u0026 Models","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
