32-678A Class 45 Split Centre H/C D49 'The Manchester Regiment' BR Green (Small Yellow Panels) Diesel Locomotive

Rails of Sheffield

£149.5

The popular Class 45 Diesel Locomotive returns to the Bachmann Branchline range with this OO scale model depicting No. D49 ‘The Manchester Regiment’. Together with the Class 44s and 46s the classes were commonly known as the ‘Peaks’, because the Class 44s had been named after mountains in England and Wales, however those Class 45s that were named were after British Army Regiments and the Royal Marines. No. D49 is one such named example, being named after the Manchester Regiment of the British Army. The Bachmann Branchline model combines a finely-proportioned bodyshell with extensive detailing

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as RAILS OF SHEFFIELD LIMITED, number 09068081. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
