Prototype Era
Era 4 (1948 to 1956) British Railways Early Crest
Exclusive to Rails of Sheffield.
Clark Railworks are proud to announce our first OO gauge 1:76.2 - 4mm scale steam
locomotive. The War Department Austerity 2-10-0.
When entered the OO market with the Quads, we said we wanted to make an impact.
That’s the exact reason for choosing a loco as striking and impressive as the WD 2-10-0.
As you can see from the CADs, and just like our Black 5 in O gauge, the detailing and quality of components is of paramount importance - as I’m sure you can see from the multitude of pipes, separately fitted parts and underside detailing.
The model has been fully designed and engineered in the UK and will feature a high quality coreless motor and a high quality gear train, alongside catering for left and right hand drive variants, we will also be producing a range of liveries including LMR Blue, WD Khaki Green, BR Black Early & Late Crest, and Brunswick Green.
We would like to express our sincere thanks to the Midland and Great Northern Joint
Railway Society (M&GN), the volunteers and staff at the North Norfolk Railway, Ian Foot and the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, The Severn Valley Railway (SVR) and the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway (KWVR).
Without their invaluable help and passion for their respective engines, this project would not have been what it is.
