Product Description

An N gauge (1:148) model of the 59/1 as operated by Hanson Aggregates.  Following the successful introduction of the 59/0s by Foster Yeoman, ARC Southern ordered 4 class 59s which arrived in late 1990.  Although the basics were the same as the 59/0 there were numerous detail differences some of which had already been incorporated in 59005, namely around a new lighting arrangement, different locations for the NRN pods and very soon after entry into service an additional yaw damper for greater stability at higher speed.

Following ARC’s purchase and incorporation as part of Hanson group, the 59/1s were gradually repainted into Hanson colours (which all now display) from 1998.

The 59/1s (like all the 59s) have a large number of detail variations which we have faithfully captured in our model:

  • NRN roof pods in dedicated recesses behind cab at one end and behind grille at other end (different from 59/0s).
  • Revised chassis details with sub-class specific lashing loop positions.
  • Revised yaw damper arrangement
  • Revised style of lighting

All of our 59 models will feature the following standard features:

  • Next generation heavy, diecast chassis with smooth running, low friction and low geared design (weight 105g+)
  • Highly detailed injection moulded body with photo-etched and wire details and separate plastic parts
  • Lift off, easy-access central body section (as per the prototype!) to allow access to the
  • decoder socket and switches
  • Prototype body detail variations eg headlight differences, NRN pod locations, cab handrail recesses, cab door handles, roof hatches, exhausts, and accurate chassis variation including variations in cooler pipes, lashing loops and fire extinguishers
  • Separate (not solid) angled struts connecting body to chassis to allow distinctive see-through appearance of prototype
  • Buffer beam detailing: one end super-detailed with solid air dam, air pipes and cosmetic coupler all fitted. Alternative solid air dam supplied for coupler end, and open air dam for those wishing to couple at both ends
  • Working accurate headlights including working marker lights. Lights switchable using easy to access microswitches or with DCC
  • New Next 28 (ESU E24) decoder socket – to give increased, accurate lighting functionality – please see Revolutions article/video for full details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8EgfR-LCXk
  • Fine wheels to NMRA RP25 standards
  • Body-mounted, kinematic close couplers with NEM coupler sockets
