A Class 24 diesel locomotive is to join the ever expanding Graham Farish N scale fleet. The model, for which tooling has been completed, will be released in the next few months. The model has not previously been available ready to run in N scale, although Lone Star did produce a model in 1960 when N scale was known as OOO.
151 Class 24 locomotives were introduced by British Railways between 1958 and 1961. The first was withdrawn in 1969 and the last in 1980. Four members of the Class have been preserved.
Three versions will initially be available D5013 in BR green with late crest (372-076), D5085 in BR two tone green with late crest (372-977) and 24035 in BR blue (372-975). They are fitted with a 6PIN DCC decoder socket and have working lights with a first for the UK by having working headcode discs (to be fitted by user). Two chassis variations are being produced with sand box options for the bogie. The models are fitted with NEM coupling pockets and detailed cab interior. These N scale models for which tooling has been completed will retail at 79.95 and will be released over the next few months.
