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.

Accurascale’s ‘Erlestoke Manor’ is a OO‑gauge 4‑6‑0 steam locomotive model of the Great Western Railway 7800 “Manor” class, running number 7812. It depicts the British Railways early‑crest livery in BR green and represents the period 1938–1950, when thirty examples of the class were built at Swindon Works to the design of Charles Collett.

The model measures 245 mm in length, has a minimum curve radius of 438 mm (second radius set‑track) and features a die‑cast metal chassis, sprung centre driving axle and metal helical gearbox. It is equipped with a 3‑pole motor, flywheel and RP25‑110 profile wheels, allowing a scale top speed of 90 mph (145 km/h). The locomotive and tender are fitted with fully sprung metal buffers, high‑fidelity dummy screw couplings, and NEM coupler mounts with mini‑tension‑lock couplers.

Electronic equipment includes a DCC‑ready 21‑pin MTC socket in the tender, optional DCC sound with speakers in the smokebox and tender, a PowerPack capacitor bank, and a flickering firebox light synchronised with the sound. The tender roof is removable via a magnetic lift‑out section, available empty or with a simulated coal load. The model carries the part number ACC2505‑7812.
