Bachmann China H0 scale models Descriptions and Price List

Bachmann's models have come a long way in recent years. The Chinese-manufactured models of British and American prototypes have enhanced the company's reputation considerably. Finally, Bachmann have produced a series of models representing China Rail locomotives, coaches and freight cars. Quantities are strictly limited and all sales are subject to availability, however, we don't think you'll find another dealer outside of China with a more complete assortment from the Bachmann China product range

All items are to HO scale (1:87 proportion, 3.5mm=1 foot scale).

Steam locomotives
QJ 2-10-2
The QJ 2-10-2 were the last class of main line giants. With the dieselization of the Ji-Tong Railway, they are now virtually extinct, but live on in model form. Two recent (summer 2007) releases recall the Jitong locomotives that many of us were fortunate enough to experience firsthand. These are the only versions of the QJ currently available; all previous versions are now permanently sold out. Learn from the past - these models will not last. Act now!

SY 2-8-2
The SY is the utility locomotive used until recently all over China. It is still relatively common in industrial locations. The last SY's were built right at the turn of the Millenium and will surely go down in history as the last standard gauge locomotives built in any numbers, anywhere.

From Haidar Models

Passenger cars
Traditional green rib-sided cars (22 and 23 series)
YZ22 Hard seat coach

Modernized version shown (click to enlarge)

Bachmann have released a two new versions of the ever popular traditional YZ22. These models are of the same high standard seen in the YW, CA and XL models. The popular YZ22 coaches are perfect for a traditional passenger train behind your QJ, SY or even DF4B.

Available versions are the YZ22 and YZ22B - note the different molding for the modernized YZ22B, along with different style windows as a spotting feature, as well as different details at the end of the car.

The city names by each car number are the home bureau (depot) of each car. The cars would range widely over the entire system so you do not need to confine yourself to a particular bureau for authenticity.

Livery notes on 22 series cars

So, you think they all look the same? Look again. The 22 series cars, the YZ, YW, XL and matching CA23's, come in several different variations. There are two shades of green, a rather dull tone as shown in the photos of the YZ22B and a brighter, emerald green, as on the original YZ22's. In addition, the striping and lettering on the cars comes in a bright yellow or dull cream. We have been told that the livery varies among the various bureaux of the railway system, but several bureaux have cars painted in each paint scheme.

To help you choose your models, each car shows the paint colour/striping combination. If you do not specify, we will choose cars at random for you. Not all paint variants are available with all body styles. You do have to read the information carefully in order to get the colour combination that you want.

The following samples should help you decide among the various paint schemes available on all the traditional green 22/23 series cars.

YW22 Hard sleeper
YW22 Hard Sleeper

We ordered ten different models and our supplier failed to deliver. Rumours abound about a stolen or lost container full of these goodies, disappearing on the high seas or in a dark corner of Europe. Perhaps they'll wash up on shore. But for now, we appear to have missed the last train and cannot supply these cars.

We'll keep trying to get them, but don't hold your breath.

Also doubles as a Soviet Railways sleeper. A customer writes: "All but identical to the 1956 standard all-U.S.S.R. 'convertible' 87 seat Day Coach -cum- 58 berth 'Hard' Sleeper. Just requires renumbering and relettering. Thousands and thousands of these absolutely ubiquitous and decidedly spartanly furnished cars ran all over the former U.S.S.R. for more than 30 years. Truly THE passenger coach most likely to be used by the everyday Comrade!"
