Class 14 Teddy Bear
The Phoenix Class 14 Teddy Bear is our latest locomotive. This scale model raises the bar yet again for quality, detail and accuracy. The Class 14 is available in 5" gauge as a Kit or Ready to Roll.
We are also developing this model in 7¼" gauge for introduction in 2008.
Information
The BR Class14, usually known as a "ted" or "Teddy Bear" was specified as a Type 1 Loco by BR and was designed for shunting and short line duties.
The model follows its full size parent as faithfully as possible with full interior cab detailing and correct pattern chequer plate steps.
Traction system closely replicates full size as the drive is through a jackshaft driving all three axles via coupling rods. We have replaced the Paxman 6YJXL engine with a 400w permanent magnet DC motor. (Sometimes we have to use modellers license)!
The exterior detailing and scale is accurate and very high specification with a myriad of polyurethane mouldings and etched nickel parts to complement the one-piece GRP body-shell. Lost wax brass castings are used for additional exterior detailing and white metal castings complete the cab interior.
Packaged with a remote battery carrier or a dedicated riding truck this loco is an outstanding model of a very popular class.
The kit comes with all parts to build, a 24v digital control system with remote handset, battery carrier with quick-release plugs a comprehensive illustrated build manual and a 12-month warranty.
A digital sound system is under development for this loco.
