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.

Oxford Adams Radial LSWR – Preserved 488 is a 1:76 scale model of a London & South Western Railway 415 class 4‑4‑2T steam locomotive, originally built between 1882 and 1885. Only 71 examples of the prototype were produced; this model represents the pre‑grouping period.

The model is finished in pristine condition with a green livery and carries the original running number 488. It is DCC ready, featuring an 8‑pin NEM socket in the coal bunker, and is fitted with a smooth‑running 5‑pole motor, pick‑ups on all drive wheels and the rear wheel set, and motor gearing designed for scale speed operation. High‑definition livery specification, separately fitted detail components, a highly detailed cab interior and NEM couplings complete the detail package. The recommended decoder is a direct‑fit chip such as the TCS DP2X‑UK, available from model shops and DCC specialists.
