Why this model matters

The Hornby Sentinel 0-6-0 'Pride Of The Fens' represents a Potter Logistics locomotive based on the Sentinel 0-6-0 design. The prototype, Sentinel 10255, was built in 1966 and later operated by Potter Logistics in its distinctive yellow livery. The model combines this distinctive prototype identity with DCC-ready functionality for OO gauge layouts.

How to use it

Place the locomotive on compatible OO gauge track and operate it using a suitable 2-rail DC control system. For digital operation, a compatible decoder can be installed through the fitted 6-pin DCC socket. Check the NEM tension lock couplings before connecting rolling stock, and handle the model carefully during operation and storage.
