Dapol OO BR D6324 Class 22 North British Diesel Hydraulic B-B Locomotive BR Green (D1000C)
Scheduled for production during 2009. Delivery date and pricing to be advised
The North British 'baby warships' did not enjoy the highest profile of the Western regions' hydraulics, but performed their duties away from the limelight throughout the 1960s. This new, high specification model of the BR class 22 completes one of the missing links in the hydraulic fleet. The Dapol model represents the later body style with split headcode boxes and will be powered by a flywheel drive mechanism with Dapols' smooth running 'super-creep' motor and 40:1 drive ratio, which has provided excellent slow-speed performance in Dapols' recent N gauge locomotives. The chassis incorporates directional lighting, a 21-pin DCC decoder socket and space for a sound system speaker has been designed into the fuel tank.. This model of D6324 will be painted in the BR green livery with small yellow warning panels.
This locomotive will have the highest specification yes seen in OO gauge and will set a new 'Benchmark' for the genre.
The specification for this model (at present) is as follows, 5 pole skew wound can motor 2 large brass flywheels 21 pin DCC board fitted DCC sound compatible Removable painted cab (for crew fitting) Directional lighting Cab lighting Heavy metal split frame chassis Spoked see through RP25.110 darkened wheels Low friction mechanism with pin point bearings Lit headcode boxes Alternate customer fitted headcode characters separately applied handrails Etched steel windscreen wipers Etched roof fan grille with fan detail below Customer fited air pipes and coupling chains NEM coupling socket |
