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

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.

PL-35 Capacitor Discharge Unit
A handy safety device, protecting the solenoid

to your turnout motor, ensuring reliable, positive operation.

transformer is connected to the 'Power in' socket, and the 'Power
out' socket is linked to the switch control.

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

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
