Description
PROTOTYPEThe British Rail Class 158 Express Sprinter is a Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU), built specifically for British Rail's Provincial Services sector between 1989 and 1992 by British Rail Engineering Limited (BREL) at Derby Litchurch Lane Works and outshopped in Regional Railways Provincial livery. They were built to replace many locomotive-hauled passenger trains, thereby reducing cost of operation, and to allow cascading of existing Sprinter units to replace elderly 'heritage' DMUs. The majority of the 182-strong fleet of Class 158 units were built as two-car sets, with 17 three-car units constructed specifically for use on Trans-Pennine services. Similar three-car units were built for use by Network SouthEast but these were converted to Class 159 specification before introduced into service, with toilet retention tanks and other modifications to operate over the third-rail network.All the Class 158s remain in service today, with operators including ScotRail, Northern, Great Western (GWR), East Midlands Trains (now EMR), and Transport for Wales (formerly Arriva). Former operators include Central Trains. The Class has worked extensively across the UK network, even into East Anglia as far as Stansted Airport and Norwich. Some 158s have been converted to additional Class 159s and now operate for South Western alongside their original classmates.MODELThe pinnacle of OO scale second generation DMUs, the Branchline Class 158 combines high fidelity bodyshells with an underframe that’s adorned with separate components depicting the engines, electrical equipment, and auxiliary gear. It’s the livery application which really brings these models to life and every element has been replicated in miniature. Whilst the main colours are spray painted, the myriad smaller logos, symbols and lettering are applied using a specialist printing process, using BR and corporate specification fonts, logos and colours.Driven by the low-level drive mechanism, which is fitted to each vehicle, the conductive couplings ensure that the two vehicles work together in harmony and enable the use of a single decoder for DCC operation. Fitting that decoder couldn’t be easier thanks to the clip-off underframe panel behind which the decoder socket is fitted and combined with the pre-fitted speaker in each car, it’s easy to fit sound to your model, or why not let us do the work for you by choosing a SOUND FITTED model for a fully immersive operating experience straight out of the box.MAIN FEATURESThree pole motor with flywheel providing drive to the inner bogieTwin axle driveSeparate metal bearings fitted to each driven axleTrailing axles run in metal pinpoint bearingsElectrical pickup from all wheelsDiecast metal, multi-stage gearbox, with gearing arranged for prototypical running speeds and haulage capabilities16.5mm (OO gauge) wheels to NEM310 / NEM311 standards with authentic profile and detailingWorking miniature BSI Couplings at the cab endConductive couplings with integral close coupling mechanism at the inner endDesigned to operate on curves of second radius (438mm) or greaterSeparately applied metal detail parts, including exhaust guards and interior luggage racksBogies constructed from multiple components featuring brake and suspension detailSeparately fitted underframe componentsEach model is supplied with an accessory pack comprising exhaust pipes, frame extensions and coupling toolDirectional lighting, including illuminated destination panels, with Day/Night mode – selectable via the chassis-mounted switches or via a dedicated DCC functionDirectional lights can be turned on/off at each end independently via the chassis-mounted switches or via separate DCC functionsPassenger saloon lighting – switchable on/off via the chassis-mounted switches or via a dedicated DCC functionCab lighting at the trailing endDoor interlock lights ( when used on DCC)Authentic light colours and temperatures selected for each lighting applicationAuthentic liveries applied to both vehicles including interior decorationMultiple paint applications employed using BR and corporate specification coloursLogos, numerals and text added as appropriate using multi-stage tampo printing using authentic typefaces, logos and coloursPlux22 DCC decoder interface – one decoder required per unitDigital sound module installedEasy-access DCC decoder socket located behind removable panel on underside of Car A
