Presenting the London Underground S Stock
29/05/2015

Bachmann Europe Plc is pleased to announce a new OO scale model of a London Underground S Stock train made exclusively for the London Transport Museum. Available as a motorised set comprising 4 cars; 2 motorised driving cars and 2 trailer cars. Additional trailer cars are available to authentically complete either S7 or S8 formations.

London Underground are replacing all sub-surface trains on the Metropolitan, Circle, Hammersmith & City and District lines with these new trains designed and built by Bombardier at their Derby works. The train design is state of the art, featuring air conditioning and 'walk through' carriages.

The models incorporate a number of great features including newly designed low-level drive mechanism, illuminated destination indicators, working directional lighting, 21pin DCC socket, provision for DCC sound, innovative close coupling system and fully detailed interior.

You can pre-order these models now by visiting http://www.ltmuseumshop.co.uk/models/s-stock.html On Saturday 26th September 2015, the London Transport Museum will be offering the first 300 pre-order customers the opportunity to travel on a special S Stock excursion from Moorgate to Watford and Amersham with the train returning to Moorgate. This event is exclusive to online pre-order customers only and along with being part of this private trip, customers will also collect their orders prior to travelling on the train. Details of the special train timetable and collection arrangements will be published online in June 2015. Online pre-order customers that are unable to, or decline to attend the Moorgate event will have their orders dispatched from Tuesday 29th September.

You can also purchase the models visiting the Acton Depot shop (Sun 27th September only) or the Covent Garden shop (from 11am Fri 2nd Oct). Customers not wishing to purchase online or in store can call and place an order for these models by telephoning 020 7565 7295. Despatch of these orders will take place commencing Monday 5th October 2015.

Compared to the 9-car N gauge, DCC Sound Fitted Pendolinos I have on order, that LUL set is quite expensive.....

Just listening to that clip of one with the sound and lighting installed, the doors unlocked/opening doesn't sound right, the doors closing doesn't seem to sound right either but not as bad as the doors opening.

Would they have been better off using a small speaker instead of a buzzer for the sound unit, even if it meant it intruding into the inside?
