5 inch gauge Class 73 battery electric - stock code 12203

A 5 inch gauge Class 73 battery-electric, a nicely put together and well detailed model, it remains in excellent condition.

The chassis is driven by four motors, a pair per bogie, with 4QD controller and detachable remote handset. It runs well in both directions, the pair of horns of strident tone and impressive volume!

Complete with a pair of batteries that are entering their autumn years - you'd need to budget for a new set next season.

The purpose built wooden transport cradle makes storing and moving the locomotive about in a car very much easier.
