Bachmann 391-126 – Mainline Hunslet 0-4-0 Tank ‘Charles’ – Penrhyn Quarry Railway Lined Black

Description

A Class of just three locomotives, each of the Mainline Hunslets can now be modelled faithfully at various points during their working lives . Incorporating the highest levels of detail to produce a model of supreme fidelity, this Mainline Hunslet is brought to life by its exquisite livery application using the latest paint application techniques for the most authentic of finishes.

These small but mighty models feature a diecast metal saddle tank, cylinder block, frames and footplate; coupled with a precision moulded cab, smokebox and other separate detail components to produce a model that is strong and robust yet intricately detailed. The cab interior is a work of art and behind the hinged, posable firebox door, firebox lighting is fitted, and this operates on both analogue and DCC. Talking of DCC, with a Next18 DCC decoder socket and a pre-fitted speaker it’s easy to convert your model for DCC running – or why not make it even easier and opt for a SOUND FITTED model to really bring your layout to life!
