5 inch gauge Class 23 "Baby Deltic" D5908 - stock code 10262

A 5 inch gauge Class 23 Baby Deltic D5908 battery-electric. The original was built by Vulcan Foundry, entering sevice in 1959 - it was scrapped in 1970.

A well-detailed model, it has two bogies, each with two 12 volt Fasco motors with a 4QD NCC Professional 120 drive board and hand held controller; the locomotive is fitted with a sound card with diesel horn, bell and engine sounds.

There is a smoke generator, piped through to an exhaust vent in the roof, along with red and white running lights at either end.

Complete with a pair of 12 volt batteries powering the bogies and smoke generator, with two 12 volt 7Ah batteries for the sound card and lights.

In running order, although our electrical expert considers the wiring could use some tidying up, with the odd intermittent connection noted.
