THE CAVALEX CLASS 47 SPECIFICATION:

• Tooling/decoration notes: Cantrail stripe / Radio aerial / High intensity headlight
• 21 pin DCC interface and innovative removable panel to allow for easy DCC chip
  installation and access to the comprehensive dip switch control for DC users, which
  allows access to all of the DCC functions for lighting, without the need to remove the
  model from the track.
  
• Photo etched roof grilles.
  
• A wealth of separately fitted parts across the model, including bogies which aren’t
  just one piece mouldings to allow for proper detail relief as well as the under frame.
  
• Separately motor operated roof fans via a function output on DCC, or when moving
  on DC.
  
• Full independently controlled lighting, allowing for parked, yard, light engine, and ‘on
  train’ modes, with realistic levels of brightness and colour representative of the
  prototype being modelled. Prototypical day/night lighting configurations for the
  modern livery examples. Engine room lighting independently controllable via DCC
  functions.
  
• Realistically bright (or dim depending how you look at it) cab lighting, driver’s desk
  with individually printed dials and decorated full depth cab interior as per the
  prototype.
  
• Hall sensors for fully adjustable automated flange squeal on sound fitted models.
  This feature automatically provides the characteristic screech as the wheels enter
  sharp curves. Not having to activate the sound manually only adds to the immersive
  effect whilst driving the locomotive.
  
• Power bank providing smooth uninterrupted running, which combined with floating
  centre axles, allows trouble free road holding and power.
  
• Coreless motor with twin flywheel and low ratio gearbox for prototypical running
  speeds typical of the class.
  
• Provision to order drop in wheelsets to easily convert the loco to EM and P4 gauges
  for those modellers that wish to showcase the unparalleled levels of detail and
  accuracy of the model with equally accurate trackwork.
  
• Highly detailed and accurate underframe with numerous separately fitted parts to
  recreate all of the tank variants.
  
• Individual details and finish that has been rigorously researched and applied to each
  model to represent the individual prototype as accurately as possible.
  
• DCC sound with custom ESU project for our factory fitted sound version and stay
  alive fitted to all models. ESU Passive Radiator Speaker in the chassis as standard
  for a balanced combination of low and high frequency sounds to accurately
  reproduce the prototype via a custom recorded sound project.
  
• Etched name plates as appropriate to each model number.
  
• Unique AMD (Adaptive Magnetic Detailing) features to be announced.
