PL-11 Side-mounted Turnout Motor
Above-board fitting for Setrack and Streamline OO/HO Turnouts

New side-mounting turnout motor, designed specifically for operating Peco OO/HO Setrack and Streamline Code 100 turnouts, but can also be used with Peco OO/HO Streamline Code 75, and other track systems. Not designed for use with N gauge but can be easily adjusted to operate N gauge turnouts.

Ideal for those awkward, out-of-the-way locations on your layout, or where creating a hole in the baseboard underneath the turnout is not possible.

RRP £7.75

PL-35 Capacitor Discharge Unit

A handy safety device, protecting the solenoid turnout motors and passing contact switches: prevents any potential burn-outs. An added bonus is that it will give a welcome boost to your turnout motor, ensuring reliable, positive operation. In most situations only one CDU is needed for your layout, the transformer is connected to the 'Power in' socket, and the 'Power out' socket is linked to the switch control.

RRP £12.40

Ex-GWR 2251 Class ‘Collett Goods’
0-6-0 Locomotive

The first PECO DCC-equipped
Ready-To-Run N-Gauge locomotive


NL-24 Side View

The 2251 Class locomotive was introduced by the G.W.R. in 1930, and construction of the 120 class members continued in batches until the 1940s. They were versatile locomotives, equally at home on short pick-up goods on secondary routes and branch lines, or as assisting locomotives on summer Saturday expresses over the Cambrian routes. Their universal use throughout the former G.W.R. system means that the model will be at home on all layouts of the G.W.R. and B.R. Western Region period.

Our model is also a first for the U.K. - fully DCC ready, equipped with a Lenz Silver DCC decoder. The technology allows the model to operate equally well on DCC layouts, and by conventional analogue 12v DC layouts. There is no requirement to isolate or remove the decoder (chip). Unlike our fondly-remembered Jubilee locomotive, this model is entirely manufactured and assembled at our factory in Beer, Devon, UK

Three liveries are available:

 
NL-24 
G.W.R. Green,

with later G.W.R. lettering and crest
 
NL-25 

G.W.R. Green,

with Shirt Button emblem
 
NL-27 

B.R. (W) Black

with later B.R. crest

The locomotive is finely detailed with precision plastic mouldings. The model carries fine cab and boiler handrails. The wheel profiles are also to a fine standard, and are fully spoked (see-through). To drive the model, it is fitted with a smooth and quiet running Japanese Mashima motor, which is fitted in the tender, which in turn means that there is daylight beneath the boiler, a very pleasing aspect of the model!

Some detail parts are supplied separately for installation by the modeller (push-fit, no glue required):

      Rear tender handrails
      Brake handle
      Water gauge

As supplied, the locomotive will negotiate a 9 inch radius curve. A separate, alternative draw bar will allow closer (and thus more prototypical) mounting of the tender to the locomotive. With this, the model will negotiate a minimum radius of 18 inches.

The model is not fitted with a coupling hook at the front, but one is supplied as an additional accessory if required.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Due to the sensitivity of the fitted DCC decoder, this model locomotive should not be used on layouts operated with a high-frequency electronic track cleaner, whether in use on DC or DCC.

Look out for the different running numbers (check with your retailer for availability)
