Hot on the heels of the first run of J50’s, is this BR (Early) J50 Class 68958 tank engine for your TT:120 collection. Moulded in both die-cast and plastic, this characterful locomotive looks and performs excellently thanks to all-wheel pickups and a smooth coreless motor. For those operating on DCC, a 6-Pin decoder socket is located within the boiler and is compatible with HM7000. This example depicts No.68958 in BR Black livery, with early emblems on the tank sides.
