Hornby OO R3576 Sentinel 19 4-wheel Industrial Diesel Shunter Green with Wasp-Stripe Side Skirts

Hornby Railways R3576 OO Gauge Sentinel 19 4 wheel Diesel Hydraulic Industrial Shunting Locomotive Green

The large fleet of small industrial shunting engines has always lacked a good, detailed model. Hornby have made a good choice of prototype with this 4-wheel Sentinel diesel locomotive, a type which proved popular with industrial users, many large organizations operating sizable fleets.
Due to the consideration by the designers for ease of operation and safety for the crew Sentinels have remained in service until recent years, often only being replaced by newer locomotives from Sentinels' successors developed from the Sentinel design. Many Sentinels have since found new homes on heritage railways.

This model is DCC Ready. Hornby have a special 4-pin decoder unit for these models available from their customer care department. Tel. 01843 233525. The service sheet lists part X9659 for the decoder.
We regret that we are not able to supply the DCC decoder for this locomotive, Hornby Hobbies have declined to supply these to retailers.

    The Sentinel company received several awards for this excellent shunting locomotive. All aspects of the locomotive had been considered by the designers. Using a reliable Roll-Royce engine, a hydraulic transmission system based on common industrial and heavy goods vehicle systems combined with a simple 4-wheel chain drive system provided a mechanical product which could be maintained by lorry fitters.
    Ergonomical and safety design included a central drivers' control desk with duplicated controls allowing driving from either side in either direction. The side walk-ways provided the driver with an excellent view of the ends of the locomotive, right down to the buffers, giving a clear view while approaching wagons. The shunters' safety was also considered, deep recessed platforms being provided for staff to ride on the locomotive, protected by the substantial buffer beam.
