372-613SF Graham Farish LNER V2 60964 Durham Light Infantry

Some twenty years since the V2 was first produced in N scale by Graham Farish, this all-new model of the LNER Mixed Traffic icon is made to standards not even dreamt of twenty years ago. Often described as ‘the engines that won the war’, these new Graham Farish models are sure to win the heart of any discerning N scale enthusiast. Depicting one of the LNER’s most successful steam locomotive designs, this masterpiece in miniature captures the look and the character of the prototype to a tee. With highly detailed mouldings and many separate parts used on both the locomotive and tender, including era- and prototype-specific detailing to allow accurate models of any given class member throughout their working lives, the performance of these new V2s is just as impressive as their appearance.

A powerful coreless motor and flywheel is incorporated into the diecast locomotive chassis, powering the driving wheels which run in separate metal bearings. With electrical pickup from the driving wheels and tender wheels and the option to have traction tyres fitted to one driving wheelset, this new V2 is on a steady footing as soon as it hits the rails. Supplied complete with SOUND FITTED, this model will provide realistic sound effects on both analogue and DCC straight out of the box!
