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.

Dapol GWR Mogul 2‑6‑0 locomotive, model number 4S‑043‑006S, is presented in lined green livery with the late British Railways crest. The model represents Great Western Railway class 4300, number 7310, and is built to OO gauge standards. It is fitted with DCC sound and a NEXT‑18 decoder installed via a slide‑in PCB, with a speaker connection that does not require soldering.

The locomotive features a die‑cast chassis, a five‑pole motor driving the rear driving wheels, and sprung centre and pony‑truck wheels that allow navigation of minimum radius 2nd radius curves (438 mm). Electrical pick‑up is provided on all driving wheels and on the tender wheels, with connections integrated into the close‑coupling NEM/tension‑lock coupler, eliminating external wires. Optional accessories include a base reflex speaker for the tender and a fire‑blow glow synchronised with the sound.

Technical details note a slide‑in PCB for the decoder, a no‑solder speaker connection, and an audio‑frequency filter for optimal speaker performance. The model incorporates features such as RealDrive, a slow‑speed mechanism, and high‑torque motor, and is supplied in pristine condition. The prototype locomotive was built between 1911 and 1932, with a total production of 342 units.
