With 185 locomotives of the Type 5, 3,000+ horsepower category available, made up of its Classes 56 and 58, it was clear that more would be needed, and BR put out an invitation to tender for new locomotives in 1987.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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\r\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\r\n\u003cp\u003eOur detailed RailRoad replica Class 60 model retains all the charm of the original, with enhanced durability and pre-fitted DCC sound features.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eItem Length - Without Packaging (cm): 28\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eItem Height - Without Packaging (cm): 5\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eItem Width - Without Packaging (cm): 3.5\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eItem Scale: 1:76 Scale 00 Gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eGauge: OO\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eDCC Status: HM7000 Fitted - With Sound\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum Curve (mm): Radius 2\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eBuffer Type: Moulded Plastic Buffers\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eCoupling Type: NEM Tension Lock\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eHornby Decoder Compatibility Primary: HM7000-21TXS: Bluetooth® \u0026amp; DCC Sound Decoder (21-pin)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eContents\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e1x Model Locomotive, 1x Instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HORNBY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44690610978952,"sku":"HOR-R30535TXS","price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0650\/3150\/4008\/files\/HOR-R30535TXS-1_b1a0dec4-d514-48fc-a8d4-d48bbcbf20a6.jpg?v=1769762002","url":"https:\/\/hobbiesonline.com.au\/products\/hornby-r30535txs-oo-railroad-ews-class-60-avesta-polarit-60038-dcc-sound-fitted","provider":"Hobbies Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
