Description
Following on from our exclusive model of GBRf’s 66301 in its striking Drax gold livery we offer DB’s 66190 ‘Martin House Children’s Hospice’ in fully ‘bulled-up’ condition as it appeared at its naming in Summer 2023. The model depicts the locomotive as it was superbly turned out with a gloss finish, white-rimmed wheels and a newly fitted, untarnished exhaust silencer unit. The nameplates are printed on, but the model is also supplied with fine photo-etched versions for those who wish to fit them.
Sales of 66190 are exclusive to Revolution Trains and will include a donation to Martin House Hospice. Please note that this model is strictly limited in numbers (the models have already been produced and recently arrived in the UK).
