OO Gauge (1:76 Scale)
Class 158 158757 2 Car DMU in Regional Railways Express
Motor fitted but no DCC socket. CAN motor
This is the original colour scheme the units were delivered in before being claimed by various operating companies after the privatisation of British Rail in the 1990s.
The Class 158 is DCC Compatible but is not provided with a socket or plug. Common opinion is that a lot of work is required to install a decoder to this model.
