Production Details:
This RailRoad Class 73 diesel has been used for both
passenger and freight trains over the years, so it is suited to many
model railway layouts. It comes DCC-ready with a 21-pin plug, so you can
upgrade it to run on DCC or with our HM7000 Bluetooth-controlled system,
which also includes sound via a speaker inside the locomotive.
Introduced by BR in 1963, what is now known as the Class 73 is an
electro-diesel locomotive, which are also referred to as EDs. As well as
operating on the Southern Region’s 650-750v DC third-rail network, these
locomotives have a 600hp diesel engine, allowing them to work over
non-electrified routes and into sidings and yards where there isn’t a
third rail power source. Features:
