Cavalex Models Class 56 081/098 GBRF Farewell Railtour Diesel Locomotive Twin Pack – Limited edition “Rails of Sheffield”, DCC sound equipped. The pack contains one Class 56 locomotive in British Rail Blue (number 081) and one in British Rail Large Logo (number 098). Both models feature interior lighting and are supplied with the manufacturer part number CM‑56081‑56098‑GBRF‑SOUND, representing the British Rail Blue TOPS period.

The locomotives are built with separately fitted parts, including fully articulated bogies and photo‑etched grilles for detailed relief. They use an all‑wheel pickup system and magnetic hall sensors to generate automatic flange squeal. An alloy chassis supports prototypical wagon rakes, and a five‑pole motor with twin flywheels provides realistic running speeds and fine slow‑speed control. Each unit includes a 21‑pin DCC interface with a removable roof panel for easy fitting, DCC sound derived from a factory‑fitted ESU project, an EM1 speaker and an additional “sugar‑cube” speaker for balanced low‑ and high‑frequency reproduction.

Optional drop‑in EM/P4 wheelset packs are available, as are separately motor‑operated roof fans controlled via a DCC function output or DC power. Etched nameplates and either standard or revised cantrail grill options are supplied according to the prototype. Cavalex has aimed to match the high finish standards previously achieved with its PGA and BBA/BLA wagon ranges.
