Dapol 2D-028-001 BR D5316 BRCW Type 2 Class 26 Bo-Bo Green N
A detailed N gauge model of the BRCW type 2, later BR class 26 locomotive finished as D5316 in the original green livery carried while these locomotives were working in the London area and still seen on some locomotives after transfer to Scotland.
This model features Dapols smooth running super-creep motor and flywheel drive mechanism and directional lighting. Modern computer aided design technology enables accurate detailing of the bodyshell and careful tooling design accommodates the many individual differences between locomotives after many years in traffic.
Initially deployed on London suburban services to replace steam locomotives the class 26s found a long-term home in the highlands of Scotland where the class' reliability was greatly appreciated. Despite their moderate power (1160bhp) the class later found work in the freight sector, outlasting most other (and newer) BR type 2 locomotives.
