Some say that nothing beats the sound of an English Electric 8SVT at full power. We disagree... two of the locomotives double-heading a heavily-laden freight working will do just fine, and nostalgia will flood back!

We're offering this beautifully-finished DCC-ready pair of 20048 and 20100 with Eastfield depot emblems in BR blue for just £259.98!

Get your pair of Class 20s here.

Not the finish you want? Let us fix that with our handy customisation service upon checkout - the options are plentiful!

A tatty-looking 20048 now carrying London Midland Region branding beneath the window whiles out its final years on July 26, 1990 with 20070 at the helm of a ballast train of 'Catfish' wagons.
