Manufacturer description

The Dean Goods locomotive was designed in 1883 by William Dean and build at the GWR works at Swindon, these locomotives were based on the popular 0-6-0 small tender engine design and were fitted with inside value gear and modified boilers. 260 of these locomotives were produced between 1883 and 1899. 62 locomotives were taken over by the R.O.D (Railway Operating Division) in 1917 and sent over to France, 46 of which returned to Britain in the summer of 1919. 100 of these engines were used in the second world war and by 1957 they were all withdrawn from service.

Only one of these locomotives survived into preservation which is number 2516 and lives happily on display at the Swindon Steam Railway Museum.

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 GWR Green 0‑6‑0 Dean Goods Locomotive, running number 2475, is a DCC sound‑fitted model reproduced by Oxford. The model is in pristine condition with a green livery and measures 201 mm in length. It is fitted with a five‑pole motor and pick‑ups on all drive wheels as well as on the front and rear tender wheel sets, and uses NEM couplings.

The locomotive represents the Great Western Railway 2301 “Dean Goods” class, a 0‑6‑0 steam engine designed by William Dean and built at Swindon between 1883 and 1899. A total of 260 examples were produced; many served during both world wars and the class was fully withdrawn by 1957. Only one original locomotive, number 2516, survives in preservation at the Swindon Steam Railway Museum.

Key features of the model include high‑definition livery specification, separately fitted detail components, motor gearing chosen to reflect scale speed operation, a highly detailed cab interior and installed DCC sound. The model can negotiate a minimum curve radius of the second radius, 438 mm, and is supplied with the manufacturer part number OR76DG003XS.

The model’s overall length is 146 mm and it is intended to represent the period of the Big Four railway companies (LNER, LMS, GWR and SR). It is suitable for use on layouts that employ DCC sound equipment.
