Following the launch of Cavalex’s immensely popular range of Class 56 locomotives in OO gauge, we are pleased to bring you a range of highly detailed deluxe weathered models, showcasing these heavy freight legends in appropriately filthy conditions!
Six variations are available in a selection of British Rail, Railfreight and Colas Rail colour schemes.
These items have been produced in extremely limited quantities and once they’re gone, they’re gone! Don’t miss your chance to bring one home.
Aside from the Class 56s, we have also now listed a range of deluxe weathered Cavalex Class 60s for pre-order, which you can find below. These are due along with the main range in Q1 2025, and can be ordered in both digital ready & digital sound fitted formats.

Product Features:
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 grilles throughout the model including body side, roof and etched grilles within the clean air bay.
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.
Fully detailed model of the Class 60 engine room visible through the body side grilles.
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 and cab lighting independently controllable via DCC functions.
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.
5 pole 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.
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. EM1 type Speaker and additional sugar cube 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.
Two styles of cab roof mounted horns to accurately recreate all prototypes.
