N Gauge 38xx Class #3822 BR Black Late Crest

The Great Western 2884 is a class of 2-8-0 heavy freight locomotives that were used extensively on GWR routes between 1938 and nationalisation in 1948. In total 167 were built of which 9 survive into preservation. They were hugely popular with their crews and were often requested post nationalisation by ex-GWR engineers, but largely these requests were refused and in the main the fleet was soon replaced by the 9F.

The Dapol model of the Class features:

Finely moulded body and tender with many separately added fine details
Cast wheels with fine relief and detail
Factory fitted traction tyres
Dapols tender drive system that delivers power to the locomotive wheels
DCC Ready
Tungsten chassis and 14 wheel pick up
Super Creep Motor for controlled pulling power with fine slow speed control
Finely etched brass plates
Accessory bag with spares and other added detail

Due to the restricted space in the tender, we recommend the Gaugemaster DC23 decoder for this model.
