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.

Hornby SR The Lyme Regis Branch Line Train Pack – Era 4 is a model railway set produced in 00 gauge. The pack contains a steam locomotive in lined black livery with the early British Railways emblem, carrying the running number 30583. The locomotive measures 155 mm in length, is fitted with a 5‑pole skew‑wound motor and a DCC‑ready 8‑pin socket. It can negotiate a minimum 2nd radius curve of 438 mm and collects power via its driving wheels only.

The pack also includes three passenger coaches. Two are finished in maroon livery and carry the running numbers S2636S and S6401S respectively; the third coach is finished in British Railways black with the early emblem. All coaches feature NEM/tension‑lock couplings and are DCC‑ready with 8‑pin sockets. They are modelled to the Southern Railway Maunsell design and are designated as Brake Third (BT) coaches.

The locomotive represents a London & South Western Railway Class 415 Adams Radial 4‑4‑2T engine designed by William Adams and built between 1882 and 1885 by Robert Stephenson & Co., Dübs & Co., Neilson & Co. and Beyer Peacock. A total of 71 of the real locomotives were produced. The model carries the manufacturer part number R3398 and depicts the early British Railways crest period.
