The LMS ‘Black 5’ is arguably the most famous of the 4-6-0 mixed traffic types built by the LMS, or any of the ‘Big 4’ railway companies, and this iconic design is brought to life in miniature thanks to this N scale model. Depicting No. 5000, a locomotive which was saved for preservation and now forms part of the National Collection, this Graham Farish model is sure to be a welcome addition to the fleet for anyone modelling the LMS era or the preservation scene.
With a powerful tender drive mechanism supported by two axles that are fitted with traction tyres, the tender also houses the DCC decoder socket making it easy to fit a decoder ready for DCC operation. Sporting a high level of detail throughout, this Black 5 is ready to undertake all mixed traffic duties on your model railway.
The idea of Digitrains was conceived over the dinner table and grew very slowly as doubts calmed missionary zeal. We finally took the plunge in January 2005 and are fortunate to be dealers for some of the best and most user friendly DCC equipment available.
