Add a premium, DCC-upgraded passenger tank engine to your digital layout with this Hornby R2224 Fowler Class 4P 2-6-4T. Finished in the highly sought-after LMS lined Crimson Lake livery, this "Super Detail" era model features intricately fine valve gear, cab glazing, separate wire handrails, and has been upgraded from its factory DCC-Ready state to full DCC operation. Mechanical & Digital Status: DCC Configuration: Professionally fitted with a DCC decoder. The digital address is currently set to Address 3. Running Condition: Tested on a DCC layout. It currently runs intermittently. The motor and gears are healthy, but it likely requires a standard wheel-tread clean and pickup adjustment to restore flawless smooth running. Coupling Modification: The standard rear tension-lock coupling has been cleanly replaced with a high-performance Kadee Buckeye knuckle coupling, allowing for realistic shunting and uncoupling operations.

The bodywork is clean, paintwork is bright, and appears intact. Packaging: Part Boxed.

Ideal for a modeller happy to give the wheels a quick service.
