Dapol Class 59/2 59206 "John F Yeoman" Freightliner G&W Orange

Class 59/2 59206 "John F Yeoman" Freightliner G&W Orange  The Class 59 is a Co-Co formation diesel locomotive and the first US produced, privately-owned locomotive to operate regularly in the UK. The ordering of the first Class 59 was a result of quarry company Foster Yeomans dissatisfaction with the performance of the BR Class 56. The first 4 locomotives built by GMs Electromotive Division were delivered to Foster Yeoman during 1986 and 59005 in 1989. Proving very successful; one locomotive setting a new UK haulage record for a single locomotive of 4639 tonnes. Foster Yeomans rivals, Amey Roadstone Corp. (ARC) also ordered four modified Class 59s (59/1) as did National Power, who ordered six (59/2). GM invested in this initial UK success by extensively modifying the class 59 internally to produce the Class 66, also hugely successful, within both the UK and Continental Europe. Features: PLUX-22 DCC Decoder Socket Finely moulded body with many applied fine details  Printed name plates (Etched plates supplied separately)  Cast wheels with fine relief and appropriate colouring  Heavy diecast chassis with all wheel pick up  NEM pockets as standard  DC lighting with independent control of #1 & #2 end lamps (push/pull/light engine) and cab lighting (controlled by switches)  DCC controlled fully independent lighting:  Push/Pull and light engine modes for head and tail lights  Day/Night headlamp selection  Marker lamp control (where applicable)  Independent cab lighting (leading cab /trailing cab /off)   - OO Scale

Dapol Class 66 '66001' DB Cargo (N)

Class 66 '66001' DB Cargo  The Class 66 is a type of Co-Co heavy freight locomotive and was originally ordered by EWS to replace and update the freight fleet post privatisation in 1996. 250 Class 66s were ordered from General Motors Electromotive Division (EMD) and these were built in London, Ontario, Canada. Subsequent freight operators, Freightliner, GB Railfreight and Direct Rail Services (DRS) also ordered batches of these locomotives. Overall the locomotive has been successful in service, offering improved reliability and performance over its predecessors. However the locomotive has also had its critics, partly due to the comfort the design offered drivers and staff and probably their ubiquity, ousting many different types of British built locomotives commonly seen prior to its commissioning. As a testament to the commercial success of the Class 66, it has been certified for use in many European countries (known as the Series 66) and can be seen commonly in Germany, Poland and Sweden amongst others. During its long service, the locomotive has been modified many times including low emission variants for greener running and highly geared models for hauling heavier loads albeit at slower speeds. The Class 66 is still in operation and is used by DB, GBRf, Freightliner, DRS and Colas Rail.    Features: Smooth running 5 pole next generation motor      All wheel pickup              All wheel drive via re-worked smooth drive low maintenance mechanism              Die-cast chassis             DCC Sound ready, Next-18 decoder socket (recommended 6 function decoder) Independent directional front/rear main lighting control—day and night lighting with four light clusters being modelled                 Independent directional front/rear cab lighting control           Main lamp and cab lighting override switches for DC users (Independent front/rear control)  Two cab window designs modelled     Removable self-centring close coupling mechanism with NEM pockets     Standard NEM fitting N Gauge couplers              RP 25 wheels     Newly tooled highly detailed body and fittings   Accessory bag with etched nameplates and detailed buffer beam fittings         Clip-fit body for easy DCC fitting - N Scale
