It comes DCC-ready with a 21-pin plug, so you can upgrade it to run on DCC or with our HM7000 Bluetooth-controlled system, which also includes sound via a speaker inside the locomotive.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIntroduced by BR in 1963, what is now known as the Class 73 is an electro-diesel locomotive, which are also referred to as EDs. As well as operating on the Southern Region’s 650-750v DC third-rail network, these locomotives have a 600hp diesel engine, allowing them to work over non-electrified routes and into sidings and yards where there isn’t a third rail power source. From new, all 49 locomotives were fitted for push-pull working with Southern Region multiple units.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hornby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56356004135292,"sku":"R30431","price":80.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/3048\/7164\/files\/WEB_20251002_20HORNBY_20R30431_202_ee0026ee-6e3f-44fb-a7b4-c66b7132c129.jpg?v=1786092833","url":"https:\/\/www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com\/products\/r30431-hornby-railroad-class-73-electro-diesel-loco-73-132","provider":"Kernow Model Rail Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
