Bachmann Immigrated from German to America and took over a company that manufactured products made from horn, ivory and tortoise shell.
They obtained Model trains from The Kader Company, the exporters of models and toys.
The initial product range was the Branchline series that consisted moulds used to produce the Mainline range.
In 1992, Bachmann Industries (Europe) purchased a continental manufacturer named Liliput and established an office to handle product development, marketing and sales for the Liliput.
The Kader Group is now one of the largest known manufacturers of the model trains.
Ever since, Bachmann Branchline is strived to bring in the finest OO scale British locomotives and rolling stock.
Bachmann Europe also distributes many other of the essential items that is required by the collector to display his model railway collection.
They are the agents for Bachmann American outline products in various scales such as N, O, HO and G and the Bachmann China HO scale.
The outdoor railway systems like track, locos and control equipment are obtained from Aristrocrat Garden Railways and the Scenics and DPM buildings are from Woodland Scenics and Scenecraft.
Brassworks supply O and 1 Gauge, and the Color corrected Hobby lighting is supplied by OTT-LITE technology.
The company is an authorized agent of Liliput HO and HOe scale European models.
Under the brandname The Intertrans, the company imports its own range of vehicles.
Bachmann has its own digital command control system for the locomotives and railway models, with a toggle style joystick and 10 function buttons.
The controls can be activated for selection of locomotive, operation of sounds and lighting, decoders for points and accessories, etc.
Three additional wireless controllers can be attached to the digital command control, and the unit complies to the NMRA standards.
The latest range of intricately detailed models, called Bachmann Blue Riband Range, was introduced in the year 1998, when The Kader Company celebrated its 50 years of existence.
The company has come up with latest versions of the Branchline series, too.
The Twin Double Deck Car has a close coupling system, highly detailed underside equipment, etched hinged bridging plates and articulated axle boxes.
The top deck can be raised or lowered as required.
A new 2-car unit model comes with full underfloor equipment and illuminated train headcode panel with internal lighting.
The steel High sided wagons have door securing chains, elaborate chassis and can be used with the steam and diesel train models.
The Class 105 DMU has the same old windows from one of the earlier models, but the bodywork detail and the elaborate underframe detail matches the prototypes.
They also have separate etched tablet cathcer pads, 8 pin DCC sockets with directional and interior lighting fitted as standard.
The Winsdor Castle, the locomotive named by The Queen, has individual numbers, full colour Bachmann certificate.
The Graham Farish series has an addition to its collection, namely the Class 3MT Tank, in the N scale.
There are 3 variants of this series and have finely detailed external components and come with accessories like head code discs, brake-rods and others.
All the models, whether past or present can be pre-ordered or purchased from the local stockist in the United Kingdom.
The website has railway clubs listed and one can join any or list their own.
Various details about getting started with the hobby of collecting rail models are available and news and events are also published.
