Model details

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 J36 Class 0‑6‑0 locomotive, model number R3621, is finished in pristine condition with a lined black livery. The model measures 200 mm in length and is equipped with a 5‑pole skew‑wound motor, DCC‑Ready via an 8‑pin socket, and features all‑wheel power pickup. It uses NEM / tension‑lock couplings and is capable of navigating a minimum radius curve of 2nd radius (438 mm).

The prototype locomotive was built by the North British Railway at Cowlairs, ordered by the same company and introduced in June 1897. Designed by Matthew Holmes, 168 units were produced before withdrawal in November 1962 after 65 years of service with the London & North Eastern Railway. The model represents the Big Four era (LNER, LMS, GWR and SR).

Key specifications include a wheel arrangement of 0‑6‑0, steam motive power, and a running number of 722. The model is suited for NEM‑compatible layouts and reflects the historical appearance of the J36 class during its period of operation.
