Hornby model SR Terrier 0‑6‑0T named “Cowes” is an OO‑gauge, DCC‑ready locomotive with a 6‑pin socket. It is painted in Maunsell Green, measures 105 mm in length and can negotiate a minimum radius of 371 mm (1st radius). The model is powered by a 3‑pole skew‑wound motor, picks up power via all wheels and couples using NEM or tension‑lock couplings. It carries the running number W10, features the green colour scheme, and is supplied under part number R3812. The design is based on William Stroudley’s 0‑6‑0T Terriers of the A1/A1X class, representing the period of the Big Four railway companies.

The prototype was originally named “Peckham” and numbered 69. It was taken into possession by the Isle of Wright Central Railway on 14 April 1900 and retained that identity until 1925. In 1928 it was renumbered 10 and renamed “Cowes”, a name and number it kept until 1936 when it was stored, stripped for parts and ultimately scrapped in March 1949. The class was built between 1872 and 1880 at Brighton Works, with a total of 17 examples produced.
