Manufacturer description

The LNER Thompson Class L1 2-6-4T steam locomotives began with prototype No. 9000 in 1945 as part of Thompson’s ‘Standardisation Programme’, painted in an apple-green livery. The North British Locomotive Company constructed No. 67735, which entered service on 5th November 1948 in a BR Black livery. 

The locomotive featured a Westinghouse air brake pump on the right-hand side of the smokebox, with a vacuum ejector for alternative train braking. In August 1950, a tank leak was repaired in Stratford, which was a common issue. 67735 was condemned on 16th September 1962 and was cut up at Doncaster Works on 15th November 1962.

Our replica of the standardised Thompson L1 Class ‘67735’ locomotive is complete with a sophisticated BR black livery. This model is DCC-ready and is compatible with our HM7000 8-Pin decoder. The accessory bag contains a hook coupling, a bar coupling, an articulated small coupler assembly, two vacpipes, a tall L1 rear vac pipe, two L1 front steps, two L1 cylinder draincocks, a tall L1 front vac pipe and an L1 pull rod.
