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 LNER J50 Class 0‑6‑0T model, running number 585, is presented in a pristine black finish. The model measures 152 mm in length and is built to a 2nd‑radius minimum curve of 438 mm. It is DCC ready with an 8‑pin socket and features a 5‑pole skew‑wound motor, with power pickup from all wheels and NEM/tension‑lock couplings.

The locomotive represents a steam‑powered 0‑6‑0T built between 1913 and 1939, of which 102 were produced. It was designed by Nigel Gresley and constructed at Doncaster Works and Gorton Works for the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER). The model carries the manufacturer part number R3405 and depicts the LNER J50 class of the Big Four era.
