Mainline BR Class 6P/7P Rebuilt Patriot Class 4-6-0 Locomotive and Tender, No. 45532 Illustrious in BR lined green livery. This model comes fitted with Mainline "steam sound" comprising of an electronic sound box in the tender which provides the chuff chuff sound which changes pace depending on the speed of the loco and even better a whistle sound which blows when the loco accelerates in either direction. The previous owner has converted this sound unit to run direct from the track power and so batteries are not required. It runs off normal 12v DC control and is not DCC. When this loco has been demonstrated this at toy fairs many visitors have asked if it is the new Hornby DCC sound loco! It all works rather well! The box itself is in fair B- condition with the cellophane being damaged in the middle and with end flap fold tears/wear. Instructions including sound instructions are included and cab crew have been fitted. The model itself is in excellent to near mint B+/A-condition and has been tested and is a good runner. Illustrious was not commonly offered with steam sound and so this possibly is a rare conversion or an even rarer offering by Mainline that has gone unrecorded.
