A brand new ex-shop stock especially developed by Bachmann Model Railways exclusively for Modelzone. This Class 42 running number D808 named Centaur is being offered in BR Green livery. The locomotive is complete in every respect and comes with all usual refinements service sheet and complete sealed accessory packs.
British Railways’ (BR) Type 4 Warship class diesel-hydraulic locomotives were introduced in 1958. It was apparent at that time that the largest center of expertise on diesel-hydraulic locomotives was in Germany.
The Western Region of British Railways negotiated a licence with German manufacturers to scale down the German Federal Railways “V200” design to suit the smaller loading gauge of the British network, and to allow British manufacturers to construct the new design. The resultant design bears a close resemblance both cosmetically and in the engineering employed.
