Why this kit matters
The British Rail Class 73 is a distinctive electro-diesel locomotive designed for operation on both electrified third-rail routes and non-electrified lines. Introduced in the 1960s, these versatile locomotives became known for their ability to handle passenger, freight, and engineering duties across Britain’s railway network.
Class 73 locomotives remain popular with railway enthusiasts and modellers due to their unusual dual-power capability, long service history, and use across multiple eras of British railway operation.
How to use it
This is a ready-to-run OO scale locomotive with fitted sound. Place it on compatible OO gauge track, connect it to a suitable controller, and operate it with matching coaches or wagons. Use compatible digital control equipment to access available sound functions.
This is a plastic model. It is not a toy.
