Model details

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 ‘Erlestoke Manor’ is a 4‑6‑0 steam locomotive model in OO gauge, representing British Railways locomotive No 7812 in BR green with the late crest. The model is finished to a pristine standard, measures 245 mm in length and is built to a minimum 2nd‑radius curve of 438 mm. It carries the GWR 7800 “Manor” class details – built between 1938 and 1950, a total of 30 were produced – and includes NEM coupling, fully sprung metal buffers, factory‑fitted pipework and dummy screw couplings. The chassis, running plate and body are die‑cast metal with a sprung centre driving axle, a metal helical gearbox and RP25‑110 profile wheels, allowing a scale top speed of 90 mph (145 km/h).

The locomotive is DCC ready, fitting a 21‑pin MTC socket in the tender and offering factory‑installed DCC sound. Sound is produced by a speaker in the smokebox and dual speakers in the tender, supported by a PowerPack capacitor bank for uninterrupted operation. Additional electronic features include a high‑quality three‑pole motor with flywheel, low starting voltage, flickering firebox light synchronised with sound and electrical pickup from all driving wheels. Optional accessories comprise an overhead warning plate bracket for late‑BR examples and interchangeable lift‑out sections for an empty or simulated coal load. Manufacturer part number ACC2505‑7812DCC.
