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 7819 – ‘Hinton Manor’ is a highly detailed 4‑6‑0 steam locomotive model in OO gauge (1:76.2 scale) representing the Great Western Railway 7800 “Manor” class. The model is finished in pristine GWR green with the original chimney and a flush‑sided tender, and it carries the running number 7819. It is built to the dimensions of the prototype, which was constructed between 1938 and 1950, with a length of 245 mm, a minimum curve radius of 438 mm (2nd radius) and a wheel arrangement of RP25‑110 profile wheels.

The locomotive features a die‑cast metal chassis, running plate and body, a 3‑pole motor with flywheel for smooth power delivery, and a DCC‑ready 21‑pin socket in the tender. Optional sound equipment includes speakers fitted in the smokebox and tender, a PowerPack capacitor bank and a synchronized firebox light. The model incorporates scale‑accurate components such as etched metal nameplates, handrails, grab handles, brake blocks and dummy screw couplings, as well as a fully detailed cab interior.

The tender is a Churchward 3,500‑imperial‑gallon unit with optional variations in hornplates, buffer housings and an overhead warning plate bracket for later British Rail examples. It is equipped with sprung metal buffers, pipework, a Kinetic NEM coupler at the correct height and a choice of lift‑out sections for an empty or simulated coal load. The locomotive can achieve a scale top speed of 90 mph (145 km/h) and is suitable for use on set‑track with a minimum radius of 438 mm.
