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.

Bachmann South Eastern & Chatham Railway (SE&CR) N Class locomotive, running number 31874, is presented in a pristine, lined black finish with the early British Railways emblem. The model is part of the BR Lined Black series and carries manufacturer part number 32‑165.

The locomotive measures 248 mm in length and is DCC ready, featuring a six‑pin socket for digital control. It can negotiate a minimum radius of 438 mm (second radius). The model represents a steam‑powered 2‑6‑0 wheel arrangement.

The prototype was built between 1917 and 1934, with a total production of 80 units. It belonged to the SE&CR N Class and later operated under British Railways. The original design was created by Richard Maunsell, and the model depicts the early British Railways crest period.
