CLASS 73 JB BR Blue FYP 73120 electro-diesel locomotive 1:76 OO DAPOL 4D-006-018\n\nThe British\n Rail Class 73 is a type of Bo-Bo electro-diesel locomotive and is dual \npowered, capable of operating electrically from 750V DC third rail or \nvia a small on board diesel engine. The relatively low power of the \ndiesel engine (600hp) and the scarcity of third rail supply means that \nthe locomotive rarely operates outside the Southern region. Forty nine \nClass 73\u2019s were built in total. The first six were built by BR at their \nEastleigh works in 1962 and were designated Type JA. The remaining forty\n three were built by English Electric at their Vulcan Foundry at \nNewton-Le-Willows between 1965 and 1967 and were designated Type JB. The\n later Type JB had a slightly higher power output with a top speed \nincrease from 80 to 90mph. Since the privatisation of BR, many Class \n73\u2019s were acquired by the small operators and have been seen running in \nmany different liveris
