Model details

The Rapido Trains UK OO gauge Highland Railway Loch Class 4-4-0 locomotive model, No. 125 'Loch Tay', is a DCC sound-equipped model representing a locomotive in pre-grouping livery. The model is part of a range of Highland Railway locomotives, specifically the Loch Class, which was designed by David Jones in the late 19th century.

The Loch Class was a series of 18 locomotives built by Dübs & Co. between 1896 and 1897, with a further three built by the North British Locomotive Company during World War I. The locomotives were designed to traverse the undulating landscape of the Inverness to Perth line and the Slochd Summit, and were named after inland Scottish lochs.

The models in the range will be available in a variety of liveries, including pre-grouping, LMS and British Railways, as well as a 'what if' Highland Railway yellow livery. The models feature a range of detailing variants, including different chimneys, domes, safety valves and smokeboxes, and will include a selection of small detail parts such as lubricators, safety valve turrets and whistle rods.

Each model is equipped with a smooth-running mechanism, three factory-installed speakers, NEM coupler pockets, an ESU 21-pin decoder socket, tender pickups and a dynamic firebox flicker with a dynamic fire draw effect. The models are suitable for operation on 2nd radius curves of 438mm or greater.
