Bachmann OO BR Class 40 D211 Mauretania BR Green DCC Sound 32-480DS
Equiped with an on-board DCC controlled sound system this model of English Electric type 4, later class 40, D211 carries the original green livery embelished with the name Mauretania. The class 40s were among the first new diesel locomotives delivered to British Rail under the modernisation plan. D211 was equiped with steam-era headcode discs and allocated to the principal express passenger services on the West Coast route. Several members of the class were named, principally reflecting the names of ocean liners which crossed the North Atlantic.
