The ‘Twins’, Nos. 10000 and 10001, were the first mainline diesel locomotives built in Britain, and this iconic duo is now reproduced in N scale for the first time.
Claiming an impressive specification, the new Graham Farish model includes a coreless motor with twin flywheels driving all axles, al-wheel electrical pick-up, a Next18 DCC decoder interface and pre-fitted speaker, and sound fitted options for every model.
The models are fitted with working headcode marker lights at each end, with the option to select either passenger or freight headcodes – with additional headcodes available when used on DCC. Cab lights are also available to DCC users whilst the directional lights can be turned off at each end when operated on both DCC and Analogue Control.
The ‘Twins’ operated between 1947 and 1966 and the Graham Farish models depict both locomotives at various points in their careers, including the modifications that were made when the pair were trailed on the Southern Region – the fitting of two additional lamp brackets and marker lights at each end. Water scoops were also fitted later on, and this is another option catered for on these new N scale models.
