KATO ANNOUNCE PADDINGTON BEAR CLASS 800 AND OTHER NEW VERSIONS!

Kato have officially announced that they will be producing a brand-new class 800 featuring the Paddington Bear GWR Livery.

Kato are pleased to say that this livery will soon be coming to N Scale with the announcement of a new Class 800 model. This officially licenced model will feature all the same quality and running characteristics of the previous releases but will also be adorned with the iconography and images of this new livery too. Just like the previous models, this version will be manufactured to British N Scale 1:148 and will feature:

  • Beautifully recreated "Paddington Bear" illustrations along all relevant passenger doors.
  • The "Paddington Bear" and "Michael Bond" names on both sides of the front cars.
  • Illuminated head and tail lights lit with white LEDs. When the headlights are turned on, the top, bottom, and beacon lights are illuminated.
  • A Selection of Kato Unitrack for display or adding to existing layouts.
  • The front is equipped with a coupling mechanism, making it possible to recreate the 5 + 5 10-car consist of the prototype using other Kato Class 800 Units
  • Suppied in Kato's 'bookcase' style packaging featuring a unique Paddington design.

WHAT ABOUT DCC MODELLERS?

Previously, additional DCC Decoders were required to bring the Class 800 to a digitally controlled layout, but not any more. Alongside the big announcement of this new livery, it has also been confirmed that this version and the previous LNER livery will be released DCC Fitted, and even more excitingly DCC Sound Fitted too. This will mean that, for the first time, you will be able to see and hear this locomotive whipping around your layouts and through your landscapes.
