One of our background projects was announced publicly during our recent Collectors Club open day and is the first of what we hope will be a range of functioning and fun lineside accessories.
We see this a little like sound was viewed 10 years ago, a way of adding a little fun and functionality into the operation of our railways, only this time we have wrapped an authentic scale model around it!
Initially available in OO, Each 'livery' will be available fully finished and decorated as two versions: animated (with sound) and static. The animated version operates from DC (including battery), AC or DCC power sources from 9V - 15V and is triggered by the included switch or DCC adaptor. DC 9V battery adaptors, DCC Adaptor and extension cables are available optionally.
Sound can be disabled if required, leaving only the motion of the filler arm.
Availability is Q1 2017 and our estimated RRP will be £25.00 (Static) and £50.00 (Animated)
2 styles: Conical and flat top
GWR Chocolate & cream or grey liveries
Highly detailed model:
