We are delighted to present the next run of OO Gauge GWR Saint Class locomotives in this months range launch, with this particular example being No. 2980 ‘Coeur de Lion’ in Great Western lined green. Utilising the same highly acclaimed tooling used on the first run of Saints last year, this latest release takes the model one step further by the inclusion of a DCC Sound decoder and speaker, 2nd generation steam generator, and revised cab footplate for improved running.
