As with all of our factory fitted sound models, in both N & OO scale, the sound features on this Class 57 locomotive are not only restricted to DCC layouts. A selected range of sound effects will play on analogue layouts bringing a new level of realism to your model railway – whether it’s DCC or analogue controlled. Watch our video below to hear the full range of sounds available when using the model on DCC!

The British Rail Class 57 is a re-engineer locomotive, rebuilt by Brush Traction at Loughborough from redundant Class 47 locomotives between 1997-2004. Enthusiasts have nicknamed the locomotives ‘Bodysnatchers’ because the body of the Class 47 has been stripped, rewired and re-engined. They are fitted with a refurbished General Motors engine and a reconditioned alternator to improve reliability and performance. In 1997, Freightliner places an order for six Class 57/0 locomotives, with the first being released in 1998. 12 named locomotives were built, including Freightliner Bond, and finished in the company’s distinct green and yellow livery.

We have a wide selection of other models carrying the Freightliner livery in our Branchline OO scale range including:

  • 32-121 – Class 08 No. 08624 in Freightliner Powerhaul livery
  • 32-981 – Class 66 No. 66416 in Freightliner Powerhaul livery
