This model is part of our standard ready to runs which have been cleverly tooled and designed with a cast tender and cab to create a cost effective range of locomotives whilst still maintaining the outstanding quality and finish that DJH Model Loco is known for. By using larger components and removing intricate brass etchings from the build, we are able to produce these ready to runs in a shorter time frame – reducing the cost.
BR Standard Class 2 2-6-2T
A post-Nationalisation development of H.G. Ivatt’s design for the LMS, the thirty locomotives of this class were the smallest tank locomotives to be built in the British Railways standard range. They mostly saw service on the London Midland Region and they lasted until December 1965 when the final batch were withdrawn and scrapped.
Each model is constructed from the finest components and features a fully detailed Firebox Backhead, Cab interior and glazed windows. They also come with cast brake pipes, scale working screw link couplings and sprung buffers. The fine detail is made from lost-wax brass for strength and accuracy. The model is motorised with a powerful Slaters GB14 motor/gearbox and fitted with Slaters wheels through-out. Each model is authentically painted, numbered and lettered and is Ready to Run!
