This RailRoad Class 58 comes in a striking blue BR Mainline paint scheme and would look perfect pulling freight on a model railway layoutThis model comes with a socket for an 8-Pin decoder meaning it can be upgraded to run on DCC and with our HM7000 Bluetooth controlled system, which also includes sound via a speaker inside the locomotive.
First delivered in 1983 the BR Class 58 was designed and built for heavy freight. Its design of having a narrower body and a cab at each end earnt it the nickname of ‘bone’ in the railway community. In total, fifty of the class were built and lasted for around two decades until finally being withdrawn in 2002 with the introduction of the Class 66’s. Most of the class were sadly scrapped but there is one example still operational and a number of them either being stored or under restoration.
