371-790SF N Gauge Class 90/0 90042 Freightliner 'PowerHaul' Sound Fitted

371-790SF N Gauge Class 90/0 90042 Freightliner 'PowerHaul'

The Class 90 has been a mainstay of the British Rail electric locomotive fleet since the first examples were introduced in the late-1980s, and these popular locomotives are brought to life in N scale thanks to this all-new Graham Farish model. Still used by several operators today including Freightliner, this example depicts No. 90042 in the company’s ‘Powerhaul’ livery and comes complete with SOUND FITTED.

The new Class 90 is a revelation for the Graham Farish range, marking the dawn of a new era for N scale Electric Locomotives. Combining a highly accurate and detailed body shell with an authentic chassis and bogies, plus a fine reproduction of the Brecknell Willis high-speed Pantograph – the Graham Farish Class 90 captures the distinctive shape and character of the real locomotives to a tee. Add to this the impressive technical specification which includes a coreless motor with twin flywheels, all wheel drive and all wheel pickup, plus directional lights and, when used on DCC, cab lights too, and it’s easy to see why this model is the complete package. Suitable for use on DCC or analogue control straight out of the box, this SOUND FITTED model will take your enjoyment to the next level with its authentic sound effects which only enhance the model’s good looks!
