K1353 K CLASS NSWGR pre 1924 Number (D55 after 1924) with 8 PIN DCC ready plug: Model by ARM, free postage with tracking.
Now in stock .
I found it will not couple up to Kadee wagons,
Note; for a closer Kadee height change to a No147 whisker coupler.
The tender bogies do swing, it runs well and will run without the tender attached to the locomotive.
For DCC; a non sound micro decoder will fit in the locomotive.
For sound the decoder will have to be passed through to the tender and speaker fitted.
Enjoy, Joe
