Dapol 2D-023-005 Class 221, 5 Car Set 221115, Avanti West Coast, (red roof) N Gauge

The Class 221 Super Voyager is a class of tilting diesel-electric multiple-unit express passenger trains built in Bruges, Belgium, by Bombardier Transportation in 2001/02. The Class 221 are similar to the Class 220 Voyager units, but were built with a tilting mechanism enabling up to six degrees of tilt to allow higher speeds on curved tracks, most have five coaches, and they have a different bogie design. They have a maximum speed of 125 mph (200 km/h). Currently these trains are divided between two operators, Avanti West Coast (20 sets) and Cross Country (24 sets). The sets operated by Cross Country had their tilt function disabled in 2008 to improve reliability and reduce maintenance costs.

The Dapol model Class 221 Super Voyager boasts a low friction mechanism with our proven super smooth 5 pole motor, working lights and is a detailed body with expertly applied livery.  This set has a unique magnetic coupling system and etched name plates are included where appropriate. DCC Ready - 3 x 6 pin decoder sockets supplied.
