The Eagle has landed! Or to be more precise, ‘The Grid’. And wow, just ‘wow’! Here is my Cavalex Class 56 in large loco livery numbered 56,093 & I have to say that this model is absolutely stunning. The detail is incredible & the highlights include lighting, independent operating fans, sprung buffers, NEM couplings & if you have to fit or remove the DCC chip nothing could be easier than lifting off part of the roof (held on by 4 magnets). This particular incarnation is how it was out-shopped by Tinsley staff with subtle embellishments & ran like this until 1991. I have added the front end detail & also a driver (which was a bit tricky). Just waiting on a re-mapped DCC chip so I can run her. Then it will be some weathering to bring this model alive. There has been a lot of hype about this model & I would suggest it is a definite contender for ‘Model of Year’.
