7 1/4 inch gauge Class 58 battery electric - stock code 10084

A 7 1/4 inch gauge Class 58, No.58019 "Shirebrook Colliery", built from a commercially-produced kit.

In running order, complete with batteries and handset controller. Paintwork is on the whole good, although with some minor retouching required in places. The cab window frames have been fitted on the skew - it looks like they slipped before the glue dried - and need removing and refitting in the right place.

Powered by a pair of 12 volt batteries, with Mtroniks 24 volt DCI250-24 controller driving four motors - two per bogie.

The locomotive is fitted with a soundcard and running lights, which automatically change white/red depending on direction selected on the hand controller.

A large and heavy locomotive, it took three of us to lift it without its batteries; given the adhesive weight we suspect it would pull a house down!
