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's OO gauge model of the Manor Class 4-6-0 steam locomotive Fringford Manor, number 7814, is a representation of a British Railways locomotive in early crest livery. The model is designed to operate on 2nd radius curves of 438mm or greater and features a die-cast metal chassis, running plate, and body with a sprung centre driving axle.

The model is fitted with a 3-pole motor with flywheel, low starting voltage, and smooth power delivery, allowing for efficient running and realistic performance. It also features electronic pickups from all tender and locomotive driving wheels.

The DCC Sound version of the model includes a speaker mounted in the smokebox and dual speakers in the tender, providing a high-quality sound experience. Additional features include a flickering firebox light synchronised with sound on DCC installed models, and a powerPack capacitor bank for uninterrupted power and sound.

The model includes a range of details, including fully sprung metal buffers, factory-installed pipework, and high-fidelity dummy screw couplings. It also features optional lift-out sections for the tender, allowing the user to choose between an empty or simulated 'coal' load.

The Fringford Manor model is built to a high standard, with a gauge of OO and a length of 245mm. It is designed to represent a locomotive built by the Great Western Railway/BR Swindon Works between 1938 and 1950.
