    This is an early Poole chassis model fitted with gaugemaster dcc92 decoder and marwick brush. The model has a brass drive gear and surprisingly copper pickups which look like they have been a replacement for the original silver ones as the lower plate retention screw is cosmetic, there is no chassis screw hole in which to insert it so it has been cut short at some point. It runs remarkably well on dcc as can be seen here https://youtu.be/-gGwGoswxpE
     
    Does anyone know the exact vintage of the model?

    This is a Wickness Soundscape Class 17 Ribble Cement. The loco is converted with a Loksound V4 Micro decoder and 2 Sugar cube speakers located at each end, driver fitted and cab light although a little difficult to see in the light in the video

    This sound project is a collaboration between Wickness Models and Marks Trains, the project incorporates all the benefits of our RealDrive Projects and includes specialist ambient soundscape of your choice. This model shows many of the features including multiple playable horns on a single function, the soundscape and the two separate soundtracks for Electric and Diesel running. Here is the Sound Bulletin with extended instructions on prototypical lighting https://wicknessmodels.co.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/RealDrive-73-Airport.pdf

    The most recent range of Graham Farish small diesel locomotives are excellent on dcc. The new chassis type with enclosed can motor is capable of producing genuine shunting speeds in n gauge. Converting these to dcc is both affordable and very worthwhile
    Please have a look at the link below
