A superb model of the BR Southern region class 73 Electro-Diesel from Dapol. The custom designed chassis is fitted with a low profile motor for smooth operation at all speeds and direction controlled lighting. An excellent standard of detailing has been achieved on the bodyshell, with body structure members depicted behind the side grilles and full depth detailing on the truck side frame mouldings. The livery is very finely reproduced with handrails, kick plates and roof panels all correctly coloured, even down to the yellow caps on the axle bearings.
73109 serves as a 'Thunderbird' rescue locomotive for South West Trains.
