The first Cavalex Class 56 sample!
We’re extremely excited to show off this hand assembled first sample of our forthcoming class 56 locomotive. We’re expecting the first factory assembled samples with all of the parts soon - so look out for further updates! Please bear in mind this is a hand assembled sample by us and there are numerous parts that aren’t fitted perfectly which will be rectified on future samples.
