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 Bachmann MR 1F Tank Open Cab (model 41803) is a 1/87 scale representation of a Midland Railway 1377 class 0‑6‑0 tank locomotive in British Railways early‑crest black livery. The locomotive, designed by Samuel Johnson, was originally built between 1878 and 1892, with a total of 185 examples produced, and carried the running number 41803.

The model measures 122 mm in length, is finished in pristine condition, and features DCC‑ready equipment with a 6‑pin socket for digital control. It can negotiate a minimum radius curve of 1st radius (371 mm) and is appropriate for use on layouts depicting the British Railways period.
