Manufacturer description

These hotly-anticipated models feature a a huge range of detail options covering different variants of this popular BR/Sulzer Type 4, outstanding running qualities and authentic lighting functions. Attention to detail variations is such that models can almost be tailored down to individual locomotives, rather than the one-size-fits-all approach of the past.

• - Steam heat, boiler isolated and ETH variants with accurate roof and bodyside details
