Description
Prototype/History
The LNER constructed a few variants of small electric locomotives, such as the ES-1, for shunting and light duties. This is an impression of such a locomotive painted in BR black with the lion and wheel emblem which utilises the ever popular and super-reliable KATO pocketline design. At this great value price, this locomotive will be popular with beginners or simply those that fancy an interesting curio on their layout.

Extremely smooth running, even at very low speed. Good haulage and comfortably negotiates Kato Compact Track curves R150-45 and R117-45. A competitively priced locomotive and I am delighted to have added it to my collection.

Up to Kato's usual standard of a smooth running motor, straight out of the box. A very useful addition to any layout for light freight haulage, a works train or shunting.

Very smooth runner, no hesitation over points, and will pull quite a lot of wagons. Must be the best value UK Outline loco available, and runs better than locomotives four times the price.

Love the detail on the loco and it is a good little runner. Can recommend!

Great little runner. Bought it for shunting operations which it handles very smoothly even at very low speeds. Looks good hauling freight on the main line also.
