This highly collectable and powerful item is the extremely hard to get hold of Hornby R2106 Transrail Class 56 Co-C0 diesel electric locomotive. This item is in mint, factory fresh condition and is just as good as the day it was first despatched from the factory.  It has never seen, or been on a layout, and has been stored in the box since new.    This rarely available locomotive is finished in the instantly recognizable Transrail Dutch yellow & grey livery under a matching roof.  It is extremely well factory detailed and very heavy.  Complete with the full yellow warning panel ends, black window framed glazing & black oval buffers, it is absolutely stunning.  Only available for 1 year in1999 and never re-released, this item was constructed in the modern manner.  This locomotive, numbered 56049 is just as good as the day it was first made and it would be impossible to obtain a better condition item.  We removed the model from the box for the digital scan and the model has all detailing exactly as it should be.  Detailed Louver grills, fully detailed cab interior and wire type handrails/steps are just 3 of the instantly recognizable features of this item.  As well as being extremely heavy, the model is just a beautifully made evocative item.  The original Hornby box is in a bright, sharp, unfaded and fully intact condition.  The box is correctly labelled for the contents it protects.  Inside the box, the locomotive is protected by a cream coloured undamaged polystyrene moulding.  The original Hornby instructions also remain with this model.  This model is just as good and complete as you could ever hope to obtain and is arguably one of the finest quality diesel model that Hornby has ever produced.  It predates DCC so is not DCC ready but should be an easy conversion with the correct Hornby digital chip.
