Metropolitan Vickers Type 2 - Co-Bo Class 28 Locomotives

D5706 carries out shunting duties on the original Kentside Branch layout. This Co-Bo was entirely scratchbuilt as described in MRJs 170 and 172, plus issue 12 of Traction Modelling (part of October 2008 issue of Traction Magazine).

 

This and the following images show the Heljan Class 28 Co-Bo as built by Metropolitan Vickers.
