1992 | Model has fully detailed cab interior with glazed windows. The water tank vents are separately fitted. Suitable for coaches R.474 and R.475. |
1993 | The class was designed by Sir Henry Fowler and introduced in 1927. The first few locos were given the LMS crimson lake livery as depicted on the model. Powered by Type 7 motor in SSPP chassis. Suitable coaches are R.468, R.474 and R.475. |
1994 | Built for local passenger services the 4P Class commonly ran at 80 mph and were still economical to operate. The LMS at one time had 645 2-6-4 tank engines for their vast suburban requirements. The model has a Type 7 motor in the SSPP chassis and is a powerful hauler. Suitable coaches are R.468, R.474 and R.475. |
1995 | The heavily loaded trains of the London suburbs demanded these powerful locomotives to meet the sharp timings of the inter-was period. One hundred and twenty five of these Fowler locos were part of a class of over 600 and were introduced from 1927 onwards. The model has a Type 7 motor in the SSPP chassis and is a powerful hauler. Suitable coaches are R.468, R.474 and R.475. |
