The model is finished in pristine maroon livery with a crimson stripe, measures 299 mm in length and runs on OO gauge track. It is powered by a 5‑pole skew wound motor and equipped with a DCC ready 8‑pin socket, drawing power from both driving and tender wheels.

The locomotive features a minimum radius curve of the second radius (438 mm) and uses NEM/tension lock couplings. It represents the British Railways late crest period and carries the British Railways operator markings. The model’s running number is 46207 and it is supplied with the manufacturer part number R3713.

Historically the real engine entered service on loan at Crewe North on 10 August 1935 and was allocated to Camden from 1 September 1935, after an initial proposal to name it Princess Alice. Only 13 of the class were built.
