Bachmann OO 39-782 BR ex-LMS Inspection Saloon BR InterCity Swallow

A highly detailed model of the LMS engineers inspection saloon coaches. These inspection saloons were used by the regional civil engineers as a mobile office and conference facility. Large end windows allowed the track and structures to be viewed while travelling while the large saloons allowed for meetings and the planning of engineering works on site. A small kitchen and pantry in the centre of the coach allowed for refreshments to be supplied by an on-board steward.
The Bachmann model features saloon interior detailing at both ends of the coach plus full underframe and folding steps detailing.

Model painted in InterCity livery with yellow ends. During the 1980s and 90s several engineers had their saloons repainted into their favourite livery, including the then current InterCity red stripe scheme. Era 7.
