The Bachmann model is an OBW10. These did not run in Britain. However, the shorter-wheelbase, very similar OBW8 did, and Bachmann have made their model sold in the UK look like one of the OBW8s pictured on the OnTrackPlant web site. Bachmann inherited an unmotorised version of this model when
they acquired Liliput. The Bachmann version is motorised. |
