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 Class J83 0‑6‑0T model number 8472 is presented in a pristine condition. The locomotive is finished in Apple/Doncaster Green with silver lining and measures 124 mm in length. It is a non‑DCC model equipped with a Type 7 motor and draws power from two of its three axles.

The prototype locomotive was built in April 1901 by Sharp, Stewart & Company at the Atlas Works for the North British Railway, to a design by Matthew Holmes. A total of 40 examples of the J83 class were produced. The class operated under the London & North Eastern Railway after grouping and remained in service until February 1962, giving it a service life of 60 years.

The model represents the Big Four era (LNER, LMS, GWR and SR). It has a 0‑6‑0T wheel arrangement, a minimum curve radius of the first radius (371 mm), and its manufacturer part number is R3668. The livery and detail correspond to the period of operation for this class.
