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 LMS 8F Class 2‑8‑0 model (Era 3, product number 48035) is presented in a pristine condition with a black livery and running number 8035. The locomotive measures 258 mm in length and is fitted with an eight‑pin DCC‑ready socket. It incorporates a five‑pole skew‑wound motor and can negotiate a minimum radius of 438 mm (second radius).
