Fifty locomotives were built between 1967-68 and initially leased to BR (fully purchased in 1973) to haul express passenger trains on the (then) non-electrified West Coast Line between Crewe and Scotland. After the West Coast Line was electrified, these locomotives were transferred to the Western Region, working from London Paddington to the South West, Oxford and from Birmingham to Bristol. In the late 1970s the fleet was refurbished and named after Royal Navy Warships.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese newly refurbished locomotives, with their simplified electrics, high intensity headlights and new BR Blue large logo livery worked out of Paddington and Waterloo to Salisbury and the South West. The Class was slowly withdrawn from the early 1990s with the last one being decommissioned in 1994. More than 20 survive into preservation including class pioneer D400 (50050). This is Dapol's second 'Next Generation Diesel' model, with entirely re-designed chassis and electronics. This model will also incorporate Dapol's new iron cored 5 pole motor offering excellent slow running and exceptional pulling power with reliability and robustness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooth running 5 pole next generation motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll wheel pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll wheel drive via re-worked smooth drive low maintenance mechanism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDie-cast chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNext-18 Decoder Socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC Sound Ready\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndependent directional front\/rear main lighting control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndependent directional front\/rear cab lighting control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMain lamp and cab lighting override switches for DC users (Independent front\/rear control)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemovable self-centring close coupling mechanism with NEM pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard NEM fitting N Gauge couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRP 25 wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed body and fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinted name plates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes spares bag with additional detailing parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eClip-fit body for easy DCC fitting\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCLASS 50\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLIVERY Railfreight Grey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRUNNING NUMBER 50149\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWHEEL CONFIGURATION Co-Co\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC TYPE Next18 Ready\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCOUPLINGS NEM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePAINT FINISH Pristine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMEASUREMENTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLENGTH OVER BUFFER 141mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Dapol","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52573904175488,"sku":"DAP-2D-002-005-PO","price":119.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/products\/IMG_5462_76216c46-5096-469d-8d48-544b8a4eab95.jpg?v=1651753153","url":"https:\/\/railsofsheffield.com\/products\/pre-owned-class-50-defiance-50149-railfreight-grey-refurbished-diesel-locomotive","provider":"Rails of Sheffield","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
