The Hawker Siddeley-owned company was so proud of their new 1,250hp A1A-A1A machines that this particular example spent its first few weeks on display at its new acquired sister firm Mirrlees’ Hazel Grove factory, home of the 12-cylinder turbocharged JVS12T engine that was originally installed in the class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMostly limited to East Anglia, with the odd cross-London or cross-country excursion it initially settled into a life of express and secondary passenger work as well as parcels and freight traffic, with the latter duties dominating as more powerful diesels were introduced onto the Great Eastern and Cambridge main lines. By the mid-1960s, D5501 had been repainted to match the production members of the class, losing its picked out window surrounds and duck egg blue body stripes, and that is how the Accurascale model is represented.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLater renumbered 31001 it was among the first ‘Toffee Apples’ – so named because of the shape of the power handle - to be withdrawn, succumbing in July 1976 before being scrapped at Doncaster in January 1977.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly-detailed OO gauge model, 1:76.2 scale on 16.5mm track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum Radius 438mm (2nd Radius Set-track)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy Die-cast metal chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne truck (bogie) styles with separate footsteps, brake cylinders, speed recorder and end brake rigging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRP25-110 profile OO gauge wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake blocks on bogies in line with wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale width wire handrails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEtched metal\/plastic detail parts, incl. grab handles, steps, wipers, etc.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEtched metal roof grille\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEtched metal pre-painted nameplates, plaques and arrows (if applicable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurate high-fidelity miniature snowploughs, chassis fitted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull underbody battery box\/air tank detail with pipework\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra cab front details for Network Rail locomotives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully sprung buffers, multiple pipework variations and screw couplings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKinetic NEM coupler mounts at correct height with mini-tension-lock couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeluxe Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll models feature a fully working, scale speed roof fan, that will run on DC and DCC., On DCC control, the fan speed is fully programmed to simulate accurate motion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll models feature PowerPack supercapacitor Stay-Alive system for uninterrupted power and flicker free lighting and uninterruptible sound (works on DCC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDCC Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC ready [21-Pin MTX Socket]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory-Installed DCC Sound available with ESU LokSound V5 fitted with large speaker and sugarcube style speaker, with large sound capsules for best possible sound (DCC Sound models only)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWheel flange squeal sensor on DCC sound fitted locomotives for automatic flange squeal on sound programme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh Performance traction features;\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh quality 5-pole motor with two large flywheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelical Gear box for maximum performance and slow speed running\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGearing arranged so locomotive can achieve a scale top speed of 90 mph (145 km\/h)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOuter axles on bogies are driven (sprung dummy centre axle) and all wheel pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFully detailed Lighting Pack features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirectional lighting, DC and DCC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLighting clusters with appropriate day and night-time settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitchable Red and white marker lights (red can be switched individual lights or both on)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately switched cab lighting and illuminated, driver’s desk with auto\/off on movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Accurascale","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58260619690368,"sku":"ACC-ACC3177-PO","price":169.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/IMG_9306_9c72b2ad-53e3-4d87-bc22-437d55f814dd.jpg?v=1781361855","url":"https:\/\/railsofsheffield.com\/products\/accurascale-acc3177-po-pre-owned-acc3177-class-30-d5501-br-green-diesel-locomotive","provider":"Rails of Sheffield","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
