Bachmann LMS 5MT ‘Crab’ model (manufacturer part number 32‑176) is a 260 mm long, DCC‑ready replica of the London, Midland & Scottish Railway 5MT steam locomotive. The kit represents a preserved example built between 1926 and 1932, of which 245 were originally produced. It carries the British Railways early crest and displays a lined black livery with the early emblem, running number 42765.
The locomotive is modelled with a 2‑6‑0 wheel arrangement, designed by George Hughes, and includes an 8‑pin DCC socket. The minimum curve radius is specified as the second radius of 438 mm. The finish of the model is described as pristine, reflecting a high level of detail and condition.
