Hornby R30438 RailRoad: Class 55 (Deltic) – BR – 55002 The Kings own Yorkshire Light Infantry Diesel Junior Locomotive Era 6 Model Trai

This RailRoad Class 55 ‘Deltic’ diesel was built for high-speed express trains, making it the perfect diesel for pulling a rake of coaches. This model locomotive comes DCC-ready with a Next 18-pin plug, meaning it can be upgraded to run on DCC and with our HM7000 Bluetooth-controlled system. This also includes sound via a speaker inside the locomotive. The production ‘Deltics’ were a powerful Type 5 locomotive, designed for high-speed express passenger services on the East Coast Main Line. When introduced in 1961, these were the most powerful diesel locomotives in the world. Powered by two big Napier diesel engines, these locomotives – later known as Class 55s – were capable of speeds of up to 117mph (188km/h) and all were given names in the best tradition of East Coast express locomotives. Known affectionately as ‘KOYLI’ by enthusiasts, 55002 is finished in a two-tone green livery, reminiscent of the early 1960s, but with full yellow ends and the classic white cab window surrounds.
