Decorated Class 59s unveiled

THE development of Dapol’s much anticipated Class 59 has now moved on a stage with the recent arrival of the first decorated samples of the 4mm scale model.

All four of the standard range models are shown here and include No. 59002 in original Foster Yeoman silver and blue, although this is the mid 1990s variant with the orange cantrail stripe bisecting the Yeoman lettering. It is joined by ARC’s No. 59103 , No. 59204 in the stylish National Power blue/grey and, for current day modellers, DB Schenker-branded No. 59206 .
