Manufacturer description

 BR J69 68535 was from the same 1892 batch as No. 359, being originally numbered as 358 under the GER and 7358 under the LNER and was also rebuilt as R24r in 1904. Along with 19 other J69 locomotives, 7358 was transferred to the Scottish Area during 1927/28 and while 11 of those locomotives were returned to the South between 1944 and 1952, the now renumbered 68535 remained in Scotland allocated to Dundee Shed 62B, until withdrawal in August 1959.

Prototype information

^* Class names often change over the lifespan of a locomotive, so this is not necessarily the class name used by the operator in the period modelled.

The Accurascale BR Class J67 'Buckjumper' 0-6-0 tank locomotive model No.68535 is a detailed representation of a British Railways-era locomotive. It features a black livery with the early emblem and is designed for operation on a minimum radius curve of 2 feet.

The model is built to a scale length of 110.66mm over the headstocks and 36mm across the body. It has a die-cast metal chassis and boiler, weighing approximately 260-275g, and features a factory-fitted brake rigging. The locomotive is DCC sound-fitted, with a stay alive arrangement, and all-wheel pickup.

The model includes a range of detailed features, including scale-width wire handrails and sand pipes, a fully detailed cab area with removable roof, and a moveable roof ventilator. It also features eroded metal and plastic detail parts, including grab handles, steps, and buffer pipework.

The locomotive is fitted with brass turned whistles and valves, etched metal pre-painted number plates and plaques, and fully sprung metal buffers. It is also DCC ready, with a Next18 socket installed in the smokebox, and is compatible with the ESU LokSound V5 Micro and similar sound decoders.

The model has a large coreless motor, which provides a haulage capacity of at least 1kg on a 3% incline, and a helical gearbox for maximum performance and slow-speed running. The gearing is arranged to achieve a scale maximum top speed of 50mph.
