The Bachmann model has been designed to recreate several different designs of shunters trucks as the differences were mainly in detail design. Three versions have been displayed in Bachmanns' display cases covering designs with round turned type handrail knobs, straight angle-iron grab iron brackets and inward-angled angle-iron brackets. This wagon is painted in the BR black livery lettered for use by the locomotive department. Shunters trucks used around major motive power depot were lettered loco dept. to distinguish them from those allocated to the traffic departments.
