Prototype information

^* Class names often change over the lifespan of a locomotive, so this is not necessarily the class name used by the operator in the period modelled.

Dapol Class 122 55006 is a 0 scale model of a British Rail diesel multiple‑unit built to a pristine finish in the original British Rail green livery. The locomotive carries the running number W55006 and is supplied DCC‑ready with a 21‑pin socket; it is compatible with Dapol’s IMPERIUM1 decoder and can accept a sound decoder such as the ESU Loksound Class 121 (S0833‑21).

The model measures 267 mm in length, 34 mm in width and 49 mm in height and can negotiate a minimum radius of 2 units. All wheels are powered, and the chassis is made of tungsten with cast wheels that feature appropriate colour relief. Coupling is provided by NEM pockets with a tension‑lock arrangement. Directional and interior lighting are independently controllable.

The prototype represented is a British Rail Class 122 built by Gloucester RCW in 1958; only 29 of the original units were produced. The locomotive was designed for a top speed of 70 mph, has a Bo‑Bo wheel arrangement and was used by British Railways under the early crest period.

Key features of the Dapol model include a finely moulded body with many separately added details, accurately applied livery, DCC readiness, cast wheels with correct colour, a 5‑pole skew‑wound mega‑creep motor for smooth running and fine speed control, and an accessory bag containing spares and optional detail. The model does not include additional destination headboards.

The manufacturer part number is 4D‑015‑009. Fitting services are offered for standard decoder installation (including the price of the IMPERIUM1 decoder) and for sound fitting (price of the decoder not included).
