The result is a model that not only looks true to life but also feels like a genuine piece of railway history.
Advanced Lighting Features
One of the standout features of the Hornby Black Five is its advanced lighting system. Equipped with fitted headlights and a red/white tail light, this model offers exceptional illumination options. The front lights can be swapped around to create different headcodes, adding a layer of customisation that enhances the model’s versatility and realism. This feature is perfect for hobbyists who enjoy replicating specific historical or operational scenarios for their radio-controlled locomotive collection.
Enhanced Maintenance and Durability
Maintenance has never been easier with the new tender-to-loco connection. This innovative design ensures easy access for cleaning and servicing, keeping your locomotive in peak condition with minimal effort. The die-cast running plate adds to the model’s robustness, ensuring that it can withstand the rigours of regular use. Whether you’re displaying it on a shelf or running it on a track, the Black Five is built to last.
Authentic Details and Extra Functionality
The Black Five is not just about aesthetics; it’s packed with functional features that enhance its performance. Class leader 5200 is painted in a unique livery, making it a distinctive piece in any collection. The 21-pin DCC socket provides extra functionality, allowing advanced hobbyists to integrate digital control systems for a more interactive and responsive experience. This feature is ideal for those who want to take their model railroading to the next level.
Realistic Effects
To create a truly immersive experience, the Black Five features a flickering firebox and working lamps. These effects simulate the real-life operation of a steam locomotive, bringing your model to life in a way that static models simply can’t match. The included painted crew further enhances the realism, adding human elements that make your scenes more dynamic and engaging.
