Model history
The 5 inch gauge Class 24 was one of the scale diesel designs developed by Phoenix in response to customer interest.
Phoenix’s catalogue emphasised the locomotive’s early British Railways appearance, including disc headcodes, green livery and the proportions of the original diesel design.
Original photographs and construction details are preserved below. For the version listed by MRW, follow the current product link.
From the original Phoenix catalogue
The original 5 inch Class 24 kit included a one-piece GRP shell, etched-nickel grille and window parts, early-style indicator discs and powered bogies derived from Titan 5.
