This is the 1984 Hornby model of the BR Class 58 Railfreight diesel. This powerful Co-Co model is finished in Railfreight grey livery with the full length scarlet stripe. It is powered by a type 5 Ringfield motor and has the RN 58001. It features the yellow panelled warning ends and a fully fitted cab interior. It also has the large BR white insignia and wired handrails. The model is in its original Hornby box with an undamaged polystyrene inner protective surround. The model is in mint, unrun, condition and the box is correctly labelled. The labelled end is missing the final 1cm of the large tuck in end flap. This model predates DCC but with a little skill, should be an easy conversion with the right Hornby chip.
