This RailRoad Class 58 is a wonderful freight locomotive to add to your layout, carrying a BR grey paint scheme with a large BR logo on its side. This model comes with a socket for an 8-pin decoder, so you can upgrade it to run on DCC or with our HM7000 Bluetooth-controlled system, which also includes sound via a speaker inside the locomotive.
First delivered in 1983 the BR Class 58 was designed and built for heavy freight. Its narrow body with a cab at each end earned it the nickname of ‘bone’ in the railway community. Fifty of the class were built and lasted for around two decades until finally being withdrawn in 2002 with the introduction of the Class 66’s. Most of the class were sadly scrapped but there is one example still operational and a number of them in storage or under restoration.
