The 100 locomotive order was awarded to Brush in Loughborough, and these entered service between 1989 and 1993. No.60038 was named ‘Bidean nam Bian’ after the Scottish ‘Munro’ in Glen Coe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith BR’s trainload freight business broken up into shadow franchises, the locomotive became part of Loadhaul, based in the north-east. By 1996, this had become part of EWS and 60038 was named 'Avesta Polarit' after the steel making company, at the DFDS Immingham sea terminal on 19th March 2002. It is now one of 14 owned by DC Rail and currently in store.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur RailRoad model is an accurate replica of this Class 60 locomotive, with high detail and design features for enhanced durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign based on extensive research and original drawings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHM7000-21 Pin decoder compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpace for a additional R7408 Enhanced Bass Speaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking directional lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll wheel electrical pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNEM couplings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass axle bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately fitted handrails, horns and exhaust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItem Length - Without Packaging (cm): 28\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItem Height - Without Packaging (cm): 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItem Width - Without Packaging (cm): 3.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItem Scale: 1:76 Scale 00 Gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGauge: OO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC Status: DCC Ready 21 pin socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum Curve (mm): Radius 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuffer Type: Moulded Plastic Buffers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoupling Type: NEM Tension Lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHornby Decoder Compatibility Primary: HM7000-21TXS: Bluetooth® \u0026amp; DCC Sound Decoder (21-pin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eContents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Model Locomotive, 1x Instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HORNBY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44690610946184,"sku":"HOR-R30535","price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0650\/3150\/4008\/files\/HOR-R30535-1_5570e001-362f-473b-94a9-c558da75b28d.jpg?v=1769762000","url":"https:\/\/hobbiesonline.com.au\/products\/hornby-r30535-oo-railroad-ews-class-60-avesta-polarit-60038-locomotive","provider":"Hobbies Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
