Oxford Rail OO Gauge NEW TOOL GWR 26xx 'ABERDARE' 2-6-0
Here we have the first of TWO new tooling steam locomotive announcements in OO Gauge - the GWR Class 26xx 2-6-0 (aka 'Aberdares')! Available for the first time ever in RTR, these distinctive locomotives with both inside and outside frames will be produced in a wide range of liveries covering their full lifespan from 1901 to 1949.
Both GWR and ROD style tenders will be tooled up and the locomotives will include all the modern features you've come to expect including a 21-pin decoder socket, pre-fitted speaker, stay alive system and a flickering firebox glow.
DCC Ready: £161.95 • DCC Sound: £260.95
Oxford Rail OO Gauge NEW TOOL CR CLASS 264/611 'PUG' 0-4-0ST
Next up, we're excited to reveal this newly tooled range of Caledonian Railway Class 264/ 611 'Pug' 0-4-0ST steam locomotives in OO Gauge! This will be the first ever super-detailed model of this class, which saw usage across Scotland as well as parts of Northern England. These had an incredible lifespan - starting from 1885 and lasting all the way until 1962.
As with the Aberdares above, the ' Pug' is expected to feature 21-pin DCC capability, a pre-fitted speaker, stay alive system and a flickering firebox glow.
