The LSWR Adams O2 makes a welcome return to the EFE Rail range with this model of No. W26 ‘Whitwell’ sporting the larger coal bunker, as fitted to Isle of Wight locomotives part-way through their working lives. The model sports an impressive level of detail and is supplied with an accessory pack which includes bufferbeam pipework, route indicator discs and a set of etched metal loco tools. Smooth running is assured thanks to the powerful coreless motor, whilst the 6 pin DCC decoder socket is easily accessible inside the smokebox, thanks to the magnetic door providing simple access for those wishing to fit a DCC decoder. At the rear of the loco, wiring has been provided into the coal bunker for a speaker to be fitted below the removable coal load, for those wishing to add a speaker and sound decoder.

EFE Rail has introduced a new OO scale model of the London & South Western Railway's O2 class locomotive No. W26 'Whitwell'. This model is part of the company's range of Southern Railway models and is finished in pristine Maunsell Green livery.
The model features a high level of detail and includes an accessory pack containing bufferbeam pipework, route indicator discs and etched metal loco tools. The locomotive is powered by a coreless motor and is DCC ready with a 6 pin socket located inside the smokebox.
Key features of the model include a NEM coupling, a powerful coreless motor, and the ability to accept a speaker. The locomotive's coal bunker has been designed to accommodate a speaker and sound decoder. The model is supplied with etched nameplates and is 125mm in length.
The model represents the Southern Railway's O2 class locomotive during the Big Four period, a time when the railway industry was dominated by four major companies: the London, Midland and Scottish Railway, the Great Western Railway, the London and North Eastern Railway, and the Southern Railway.
