Cavalex Models Class 56 081/098 GBRF Farewell Railtour Diesel Locomotive Twin Pack is a limited‑edition, DCC‑compatible kit released as part of the “Rails of Sheffield” range. The pack represents British Rail sectorisation and includes two locomotives: a Class 56 081 in BR Blue livery and a Class 56 098 carrying the large GBRF logo.

Each locomotive is fitted with a wealth of separately constructed parts, including detailed bogies, photo‑etched grilles and etched nameplates. The models feature all‑wheel pick‑up, an innovative automatic flange squeal system using magnetic Hall sensors, and an alloy chassis capable of pulling prototypical wagon rakes. Propulsion is provided by a five‑pole motor with twin flywheels, geared for realistic running speeds and offering precise slow‑speed control. A 21‑pin DCC interface is accessed via a removable roof panel, and both units are equipped with DCC sound using a factory‑fitted ESU project and an EM1‑type speaker supplemented by a sugar‑cube speaker for balanced frequency response. Interior lighting is fitted, and separate motor‑operated roof fans can be controlled through a DCC function output or DC operation.

The Twin Pack is produced to the same high standard of finish as Cavalex’s PGA and BBA/BLA wagons, with optional standard or revised cantrail grill configurations and drop‑in EM/P4 wheelset packs available as accessories.
