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 6800 “Grange” Class locomotive, 4‑6‑0, model number 6825 “Llanvair Grange”. The kit is presented in a pristine, lined‑green livery with the British Railways Late Crest. It measures 253 mm in length and is supplied as DCC‑ready with an 8‑pin socket, a five‑pole skew‑wound motor and NEM couplings. The model runs on a minimum‑radius curve of the second radius (438 mm) and picks up power from both the driving wheels and the tender wheels. It represents a steam‑powered locomotive built by the Great Western Railway in February 1937, withdrawn in June 1964 after 27 years of service, and originally designed by Charles Collett.
