Detailed Description
Detailed Description
The first of BR's heavy Type 5 freight diesels, introduced to cope with an increase in coal traffic after the 1973 oil crisis. The first 30 were built by Electroputere in Romania under sub -contract from Brush, while the rest were constructed by BREL at Doncaster (56031-115) and Crewe (56116-135).
Although they were retired by EWS in 2003, a number have been reactivated for use by freight companies such as Colas and DC Rail.
Our version is based on the later Doncaster and Crewe -built variant.

Stunning loco with fantastic detail. Runs very smooth even at very slow speeds. This is a good solid loco, well designed and quality construction. Have only run this in DC but will add a sound decoder soon. Excellent value for money at the price being sold.
Another excellent model.
Great prices, prompt shipping.
This really is the way forward.
Great value well done....
