Description
The Class 59 is a Co-Co formation diesel locomotive and the first US produced, privately-owned locomotive to operate regularly in the UK. The ordering of the first Class 59 was a result of quarry company Foster Yeomans dissatisfaction with the performance of the BR Class 56. The first 4 locomotives built by GM’s Electromotive Division were delivered to Foster Yeoman during 1986 and 59005 in 1989 proving very successful; one locomotive setting a new UK haulage record for a single locomotive of 4639 tonnes. Foster Yeomans rivals, Amey Roadstone Corp. (ARC) also ordered four modified Class 59s (59/1) as did National Power, who ordered six (59/2). GM invested in this initial UK success by extensively modifying the class 59 internally to produce the Class 66, also hugely successful, within both the UK and continental Europe. Other than 59003 (which after return from loan to HHPI in Germany, is operated by GBRf), the Class 59 fleet is operated today by DB Schenker and Mendip Rail.The Dapol Class 59 features:Dapol's latest Next Generation Diesel model, incorporating Dapol’s re-designed chassis and electronics. This model will also incorporate the same iron cored 5 pole motor that is used in the N Gauge Class 50 and Class 68. This motor offers excellent slow running and exceptional pulling power with reliability and robustness.- Smooth running 5 pole next generation motor- All wheel pickup- All wheel drive via re-worked smooth drive low maintenance mechanism.- Die-cast chassis- DCC Sound ready, Next-18 decoder socket (recommended 6 function decoder)- Independent directional front/rear main lighting control- Independent directional front/rear cab lighting control- Main lamp and cab lighting override switches for DC users (Independent front/rear control)- Removable self-centring close coupling mechanism with NEM pockets- Standard NEM fitting N Gauge couplers- RP 25 wheels- Detailed body and fittings- Printed name plates- Accessory bag with etched nameplates and detailed buffer beam fittings- Clip-fit body for easy DCC fitting- All Factory fitted DCC Locomotives will be fitted with Dapol’s new Imperium Next 18 decoder
