Manufacturer description

Proudly Weathered in Wales by our craftsmen to offer a lightly weathered finish to this model.

Weathering avoids main wheels and pick ups to ensure full electrical pick up.

• Smooth Running 5 Pole motor
• Pick ups on all drive wheels and rear wheel set
• High definition livery specification
• Separately fitted detail components
• Motor Gearing to reflect scale speed operation
• Highly detailed cab interior
• NEM Couplings
• DCC Ready

The Adams Radial is DCC Ready and comes with an NEM 8 pin socket in the Coal Bunker. The small size of the prototype means the space for decoders in quite limited. We recommend installing a direct fit chip such as the TCS DP2X-UK direct plug in 8 pin.This can be obtained from good model shops and also DCC Specialist retailers.

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 Weathered East Kent Railway Adams Radial No 5 is a 152 mm (6 inch) scale model of a London and South Western Railway 415 class 4‑4‑2T steam locomotive built between 1882 and 1885. The model carries the running number 5 and is presented in a weathered green livery, with the finish applied by craftsmen in Wales. It represents the pre‑grouping period and is produced under manufacturer part number OR76AR005W, of which 71 examples were originally built.

The locomotive is DCC ready, fitted with an 8‑pin NEM socket located in the coal bunker and is designed for use with a direct‑fit decoder such as the TCS DP2X‑UK. Electrical pick‑ups are provided on all drive wheels and the rear wheel set, while the main wheels are left un‑weathered to ensure reliable current collection. It incorporates a smooth‑running 5‑pole motor, scale‑accurate motor gearing, and NEM couplings. The cab interior is highly detailed and the model includes separately fitted detail components.

Technical specifications include a minimum curve radius of 438 mm (2nd radius), a 4‑4‑2T wheel arrangement, and a standard NEM coupling. The model is intended for use on the East Kent Railway layout and reflects the original prototype’s characteristics. All components adhere to a high‑definition livery specification and the model is supplied ready for DCC operation.
