Model Features

General Specification

The locomotive will have all of the usual refinements that are expected to be found on all Dapol models including:

• A diecast compensated chassis with floating gearbox
  
• Diecast footplate
  
• Diecast boiler
  
• Detailed cab interior
  
• The front pony truck is also sprung and operates on a cam so the model will negotiate R2 curves with ease.
  
• Churchward boiler
  
• Churchward and Collett boiler support/motion bracket
  
• Vertical and curved drop footplates
  
• Churchward (tapered) & Collet (Straight) sprung buffers
  
• Smoke boxes with inside or outside steam pipes
  
• GWR & BR smoke box doors (with separately added number plate)
  

Technical Specification

• A slide in PCB offers simple ‘tool-free’ installation of a NEXT-18 DCC decoder. This board slides through the smoke box door and connects directly to the locomotive mother board.
  
• The tender to locomotive drawbar includes reliable electrical connections moulded within the close-coupling push-fit coupling. This eliminates wired plugs and unreliable wiper style connections.
  
• The locomotive and tender have electrical pick-up on driving and tender wheels
  
• Genuine sound recording provided by 3850 based on the GWSR plaid through a high quality speaker system
  
• Firebox glow (synchronised with sound*)
  
• Dapol’s proven slow speed mechanism and high torque motor
  
• Enhance your driving experience with our feature RealDrive*
