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.

The Hornby SR Adams Class 415 4‑4‑2T (model number R3422) represents the London & South Western Railway 415 tank locomotive. It is finished in a pristine black livery and carries the running number 3125. The model measures 155 mm in length, has a 5‑pole skew wound motor and a DCC‑ready 8‑pin socket, with power pickup from the driving wheels only. Coupling is supplied as NEM with a tension lock, and the minimum curve radius is the second radius of 438 mm.

The prototype locomotive was designed by William Adams and built between 1882 and 1885 by Robert Stephenson & Co., Dübs & Co., Neilson & Co., and Beyer Peacock, with a total of 71 produced. It operated under the Southern Railway during the era of the Big Four (LNER, LMS, GWR and SR). This model is intended for use by collectors and model railway enthusiasts seeking a historically accurate representation of the 4‑4‑2T steam locomotive.
