Dapol OO BR D6322 Class 22 D63xx North British Diesel Hydraulic B-B Locomotive BR Blue (D1000A)
Scheduled for production during 2009. Delivery date and pricing to be advised
The North British 'baby warships' did not enjoy the highest profile
of the Western regions' hydraulics, but performed their duties away
from the limelight throughout the 1960s. This new, high specification
model of the BR class 22 completes one of the missing links in the
hydraulic fleet. The Dapol model represents the later body style
with split headcode boxes and will be powered by a flywheel drive
mechanism with Dapols' smooth running 'super-creep' motor and 40:1
drive ratio, which has provided excellent slow-speed performance in
Dapols' recent N gauge locomotives. The chassis incorporates
directional lighting, a 21-pin DCC decoder socket and space for a sound
system speaker has been designed into the fuel tank.. This model of D6322 will be painted in BR rail blue with full yellow ends.
This locomotive will have the highest specification yet seen in OO gauge and will set a new 'Benchmark' for the genre.
The specification for this model (at present) is as follows, 5 pole skew wound can motor 2 large brass flywheels 21 pin DCC board fitted DCC sound compatible Removable painted cab (for crew fitting) Directional lighting Cab lighting Heavy metal split frame chassis Spoked see through RP25.110 darkened wheels Low friction mechanism with pin point bearings Lit headcode boxes Alternate customer fitted headcode characters separately applied handrails Etched steel windscreen wipers Etched roof fan grille with fan detail below Customer fited air pipes and coupling chains NEM coupling socket |
