The locomotive is built to OO gauge standards, with a Co‑Co wheel arrangement and power pickup from all wheels. It can negotiate a minimum radius of curve 2 and features a weathered appearance to reflect operational wear. The model carries the manufacturer part number 46503.

The prototype was constructed by Brush Traction at the British Rail Crewe Works between 1962 and 1968. This representation depicts the locomotive during the period of initial privatisation of the UK rail network.
