Rapido Trains UK has announced that its forthcoming ‘N’ gauge Class 44 ‘Peak’ is now available to pre-order. The famous 1‐Co‐Co‐1 diesel electric pioneers are being portrayed in a variety of liveries to suit their full BR careers, from original green to Rail blue. Additionally, D4 Great Gable will be offered in its preservation era guise.
Detail variations, such as plated-over steps and removal of sandboxes, will be observed and directional lighting and factory-installed speakers are standard features, along with a Next18 decoder socket.
What’s planned?
