This allows better placement and in turn allows the socket to be sited away from the motor better so that it gets less heat in operation. The sound and fitted options are now therefore upgraded to ESU's Plux22 versions of their decoders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe functionality of the lighting was addressed to ensure that it works perfectly on both DC and DCC. DCC users now have full control of all lighting and this will be set up to work out of the box with the factory fitted versions with no user input required\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStay Alive Now as Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most exciting addition to the specification is that all models now come with a DCC stay-alive integrated into the circuit board. This will allow trouble-free running without problems caused by momentary loss of track power, for example when your model encounters point frogs or dirty spots. This is of particular benefit for those opting for factory-fitted sound as a momentary loss of power to a sound decoder can cause the sound to stop and either have to be manually restarted, or the locomotive to begin its start up procedure again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlux 22 DCC socket with easy access\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirectional LED Lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy die-cast metal chassis with central motor and twin flywheels giving a powerful performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEtched grilles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCab lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlush glazing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in OO Gauge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KR Models","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58586463797632,"sku":"KRM-LEAD-OO-R-BLUE-PO","price":149.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/IMG_0299_c3056b44-d536-4cf9-a2fb-1d586ceec3a9.jpg?v=1785412485","url":"https:\/\/railsofsheffield.com\/products\/kr-models-lead-oo-r-blue-po-pre-owned-lead-oo-r-blue-sr-bulleid-the-leader-br-blue-0-6-6-0-articulated-steam-locomotive","provider":"Rails of Sheffield","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
