Manufacturer description

BR Standard 4MT with BR2A Tender 76084 BR Lined Black (Early Emblem)

 

Highlights:

• Accessory pack
• Prototype survives in preservation
• Loco-appropriate BR Standard tender

The BR Standard Class 4 2-6-0 is a steam locomotive designed by Robert Riddles for British Railways (BR).  The type was designed at the former LNER works at Doncaster which was also responsible for building 25 of the 115-strong class. The remaining 90 were split between Horwich and Derby Works.

 

The last in the series, No.76114, was also the final steam engine to be constructed at the 'Plant' (as Doncaster works was known). The Standard Four Mogul was essentially a standardised version of the LMS Ivatt Class 4, and was primarily intended for freight use and its route availability was virtually unrestricted. Batches were allocated to every BR region except the Western.  The class was extremely versatile and well-travelled, and one example lasted into 1968, the final year of BR steam.  Examples survive in preservation.

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 BR Standard 4MT with BR2A Tender, running number 76084, is presented in a lined black livery with the early British Railways emblem. It forms part of the 2019 range and is supplied in a pristine finish. The model measures 247 mm in length and is DCC ready with an 8‑pin socket, suitable for a minimum radius curve of second radius (438 mm).

The locomotive represents a British Railways Standard Class 4 2‑6‑0 steam engine designed by Robert Riddles and built between 1952 and 1956. Only 65 of the original class were produced, and the prototype survives in preservation. The class was a standardised version of the LMS Ivatt Class 4, intended primarily for freight work and capable of operating across most BR regions.

Key details of the model include the accessory pack, a loco‑appropriate BR Standard tender, and the correct period representation of the early BR crest. The manufacturer part number is 32‑954A. The model is aimed at hobbyists seeking an accurate replica of the BR Standard 4MT with its original tender.
