A Metropolitan Electric loco

On the 11th August 2024 our Electric Metropolitan was given the Name of Wembley 1924 with the appropriate number of 15 which is waiting to be applied.
Only 2 of the original 20 are left. They are No5 John Hampden kept at London Transport Museum as a static display & No12 Sarah Siddons is used for heritage events. Last seen January 2019 in conjunction with Metropolitan railway Locomotive No.1 on steam excursions.
This loco has a lift off body so you can access the batteries and internals.
It uses a 4QD electronics system to control the loco, it being powered by two 12v batteries.
Two recent picture (April 2024) of Metropolitan out plying a train of passengers.
