Summary
This BR Class 56 model locomotive is pre-fitted with sound and controllable via your HM7000 app for an impressive digital hobby experience. With sprung metal buffers and NEM tension lock couplings, this stylish blue and yellow model is a wonderful addition to your model railway layout.
The 50th anniversary of the completion of the first Class 56 is marked in 2026. The first of the 135-strong class arrived at Harwich from Romania in 1976, before commissioning by BR the following year. Only 30 examples were imported, due to relatively poor build quality, and these were subsequently rebuilt.
The remainder of the class were assembled by BREL at Doncaster and Crewe, with Ashford, Eastleigh, and Swindon supplying sub-assemblies, while Ruston-Paxman supplied the power units. No.56001 was new to Tinsley and withdrawn from Cardiff Canton in September 1996 after 19 years and six months in service with BR.
