Description
The LMS ‘Twins’ – Nos. 10000 and 10001 – were the very first mainline diesel locomotives built in the UK and now, this pioneering pair is available in N scale for the first time thanks to Graham Farish.
This model of No. 10001 depicts the second of the ‘Twins’ during the period after its time on the Southern Region – between 1953 and 1955 – when the two locomotives were trialled on the SR alongside the Southern’s own prototype diesel locomotives.
The Graham Farish model of No. 10001 is a highly detailed masterpiece in miniature, adorned with numerous separately fitted components to accurately capture the appearance of this pioneering machine. The livery application captures the splendour of the prototype, whilst engine room detailing has been replicated through the bodyside windows for the first time. Inside, the proven combination of a coreless motor and twin flywheels, driving both bogies and with all-wheel drive will provide enough power for any prototypical train.
