A superb model of the BR standard shunting locomotive from Hornby, manufactured from completely new tooling! Features include full outside frame and fly crank detail, accurate bonnet detail, sprung buffers and a full cab interior with control console. Driven by a powerful skew-wound 5-pole motor, fitted with a flywheel for smooth running and a standard DCC socket is incorporated into the wiring. Locomotive 09 012 is modelled in BR Railfreight grey fitted with high-level air brake hoses for coupling to EMU stock. Note that the two circular tanks beneath the front end of 09012 were removed when it was repainted into this livery.
Remember! Antics Price includes mainland UK delivery for this model.
The class 08 0-6-0 diesel electric shunter was based on prototype LMS designs and became British Railways largest fleet of shunting locomotives. Built between 1953 and 1962 at Crewe, Darlington, Derby and Doncaster. The fleet (including the class 09 locomotives) have a single cab at the No.1 end and a nose section which houses the power unit, generatoor and control equipment. Class 08 shunters, powered by an English Electric 350bhp 6KT engine have a maximum speed of 15-20mph. The design once numbered over 1000 locomotives with around 300 remaining in service today - still the mainstay of UK shunting power.
Standard class 08 shunters can still be seen all over the country and are expected to remain in service for many years, carrying out a wide range of duties including shunting in marshalling yards, shunting depots and short trip workings. | |
