I noticed that Marcway in Sheffield stock Bachmann US stuff but I don’t know about this specific model

They're not as readily available in the US as well. I wonder if Bachmann will do another run and if it will come with a sound chip.

You may get one from Germany http://www.rd-hobby.de/en/Catalog/Detail/26045

Have you tried Model Junction in Slough?

 

A Google search of American model railway shops in the UK gives you a list for starters.

A local shop might come up trumps, some more enlightened vendors expanded their ranges to include Bachmann HO. The downside to this is there are a lot of unsold Bachmann freight cars at ridiculous prices....

 

Otherwise, I'd try Anoraks Anonymous to see if they have a secondhand one.

Thank you all for your suggestion I did spend most of one evening scour ing  different  shops . but thanks reinhard your lead looks very promice ing . sorry to be a  pain but one other thing I am trying to track down is factory type windows like thease in the picture    all I can find is  if there in a building kit  but not sold separately .

"Tichy Train Group" makes separate windows and doors. e.g. https://www.tichytraingroup.com/Shop.aspx?SearchValue=8036  or https://www.tichytraingroup.com/Shop/tabid/91/c/ho_framed-windows/Default.aspx. I bought a "life time supply" many years ago in the US to balance shipping cost. May be MB Klein was the online shop I used.

Thanks  for the pointers chaps. I am sure I did see some plastic ones some time a go.   the brass ones look great but would get a bit expensive  for mulltple windows .I did even think of using  small  tile grout spacers from a diy store  . but its been a long time since I looked at them there probly  way to thick any way .

_{There are several Bachmann 45 tonners available on ebay USA.   Its worth contacting the seller and asking if they will ship to the UK.  I have had good experience with several private sellers who did not originally offer their products to international buyers.}
