Production Details:
Hornby BR Railfreight, Class 56, Co-Co, 56060
'The Cardiff Rod Mill' - Era 8 (Sound Fitted). The British Rail
Class 56 Type 5 Co-Co diesel locomotive was first introduced in 1976
to cope with the increased requirement for heavy freight. British
Rail awarded the contract to design and build these new engines to
Brush Traction in Loughborough, who subsequently sub-contracted the
construction to Electroputere in Romania, due to the lack of
capacity in their own works.
