This specially commissioned 1:148 scale model by Gaugemaster faithfully captures the era-specific details of 153/377’s prototype, featuring a coreless motor for smooth operation, all-wheel drive and pickup, accurately coloured cast wheels, and independently controllable directional lighting. The finely molded body includes optional detailing parts and realistic rooftop and underframe treatment, while plug-in lighting bars can be added to illuminate the coach interior. Measuring 155 mm in length, 17 mm in width, and 27 mm in height, this limited-edition model is a standout piece for any modern-era rural branch layout.
