DJ Models class 71 locomotive E5019 limited edition. DCC FITTED - with function control of headcode blinds, marker lights and cab lights. This rare model was a limited edition special commission by Kernow Model Centre from DJ Models for the Class 71 in BR green with factory weathering. Brand new, it has only been removed from the box to test run and to take these photos. The factory weathering is very effective and realistic.
The loco is fitted with a coreless motor and runs smoothly straight out of the box. The speed range is realistic for this type of loco.
NOTE: The loco lights appear to flicker in the video, but this is a strobing effect between the video camera and the LED lighting, the lights do NOT flicker as seen by the human eye. All of the original documentation is included, which includes an exploded diagram and instructions as well as the certificate number 50 out of the limited run of only 150 models.
The accessory parts bag is supplied unopened. There is also a bag with a selection of different two character headcodes you can fit into the loco. It is DCC ready with a 21 pin socket. Under DCC, various lighting combinations are available controlled by DCC functions.The class 71 was an electric loco for use on the Southern region of British Rail. It had a "booster" which was effectively a huge flywheel to generate power to get it across any gaps in the supply. The model has a faithful reproduction of the pantograph, which may be posed in the up or down position.

Grab this chance to own a rare model that is a piece of Railway Modelling history as well as a model of a loco that was a piece of real railway history.
