The scales used include the general European modelling range of Z, N, TT, H0, 0 and also the large model engineering gauges of I to X, including 3 + 1 ⁄ 2, 5, 7 + 1 ⁄ 4 and 10 + 1 ⁄ 4-inch gauge. As 00 is a particularly British scale, it is not included within this pan-European standard. However the predominantly US imperial-based S scale ...

The electronics were vastly improved, with one main board compared versus two for the Generation 1 chassis. The motor was mounted transversely in contrast to Generation 1's longitudinal layout. The battery housing was moved to the bottom for better weight distribution. Suspension design was revamped. The servo housing was integrated into the ...
It is based on the Mainline model with revised body tooling to complement a completely new chassis design that allows the boiler backhead to be modelled. In British N gauge , the first model was the Langley whitemetal kit, designed to fit the Graham Farish 94xx/general purpose tank chassis.
An electric version, dubbed E-Savage, is a 1/10 scale version similar in design to the original. It is powered by two HPI "GT550" 14.4v electric motors and competes in the market defined by models such as the Traxxas E-Maxx and Kyosho Twin Force.
