BR Standard 5MT with BR1 Tender 73026 BR Lined Green (Late Crest)

With upgrades to allow SOUND FITTED models to be produced now complete, this Graham Farish BR Standard Class 5MT now features a Next18 DCC decoder interface and pre-fitted speaker. Depicting No. 73026 in BR Lined Green livery with Late Crest and coupled to a BR1 Tender, this model is also available with SOUND FITTED.

The Graham Farish model brings all the power and presence of the prototype to N scale and this masterpiece in miniature certainly packs a punch when it comes to the detail, with separate metal handrails found throughout the locomotive and tender, brass chimney and safety valves and separate pipework running from below the cab to the injectors on the boiler. Inside the cab, the moulded back head detail has been decorated to pick out the individual gauges and controls, whilst below the running plate, the Walschaerts valve gear is something to behold, especially when the locomotive is in motion.

A powerful coreless motor provides drive to the centre driving wheels and each driving wheel is fitted with separate metal bearings whilst a pair of traction tyres are fitted to the rear driving wheels to aid traction. Electrical pick-up comes via all six driving wheels and all six tender wheels, with a semi-permanent loco-tender coupling system to ensure the two stay firmly coupled at all times. Additional traction tyres are available separately (item No. 379-424), along with the ModelMaker N Scale Loco Crankpin Box Spanner (item No. MM027) – an essential part of any N scale tool kit.
