Model history
Customer requests helped expand Phoenix’s scale locomotive range, including the 5 inch gauge Class 50.
The 2018 catalogue described a model that could represent different periods in the full size locomotives’ careers, from early appearances to later liveries.
The gallery includes finished locomotives and construction details. MRW’s current product page provides the latest specification and ordering information.
From the original Phoenix catalogue
The Class 50 page records that the Class 50 Group granted access to survey Ark Royal. Original kit features included a composite body, etched windscreen frames, detailed cab fittings and powered bogies.
