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 SR Lord Nelson Class 4-6-0, running number 851 and named Sir Francis Drake, is supplied in a pristine finish with a lined green livery. It is an Era 3 model, ready for digital command control via an 8‑pin socket.

The model measures 283 mm in length and is fitted with a 5‑pole skew‑wound motor. It can negotiate a minimum radius curve of 438 mm (second radius) and draws power from both the driving wheels and the tender wheels. Couplings are of the NEM type with a tension‑lock mechanism. The locomotive is powered by steam.

The prototype was built by the Southern Railway between 1926‑1929, with a total of 16 members produced. It belongs to the Southern Railway Lord Nelson class, designed by Richard Maunsell and constructed at SR Eastleigh Works. The product carries the manufacturer part number R3634 and represents the post‑grouping “Big Four” era of the LNER, LMS, GWR and SR.
