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 BR produce a 2‑6‑4T model of the London, Midland & Scottish Railway Fowler 4P class, number 42334. The locomotive was built between 1927 and 1934 at the LMS Derby Works to a design by Henry Fowler, with a total of 125 examples constructed. The model represents the British Railways Late Crest era.

The model is finished in a pristine condition with a lined black livery and the early LMS emblem. It measures 188 mm in length, runs on driving wheels only for power pickup and requires a minimum curve radius of the second radius (438 mm). It is DCC ready, fitted with an 8‑pin socket, and the motor is a 5‑pole skew‑wound type. The wheel arrangement is 2‑6‑4T and the motive power is represented as steam. The Hornby part number is R3404.
