Manufacturer description

The Dean Goods was the workhorse of the GWR goods department from 1883 until the twilight of the Steam era. The final locomotive was withdrawn in 1957. The class had become the standard locos for the lightly built and winding Welsh lines by their withdrawal.

Serving both at home and abroad during two World Wars, the 0-6-0 Tender loco epitomises locomotive practice under William Dean. Oxford Diecast RAIL OR76DG009 Dean Goods ROD 2308 Oxford Rail Locos 1:76 Scale Model

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.

The Oxford Dean Goods WW1 Khaki ROD 2308 is a OO scale model of a 0-6-0 steam locomotive. It features a khaki livery and is finished to a pristine standard. The model has a running number of 2308 and is built to a scale of 1:76.

The locomotive is based on the Great Western Railway's 2301 class, designed by William Dean in 1883, and is a representation of the pre-grouping era. The model measures 201mm in length and has a minimum radius curve of 438mm. The motor is a 5-pole skew wound unit, and the model is DCC ready with an 8-pin socket.

The model features a range of details, including a high definition livery specification, separately fitted components, and a highly detailed cab interior. The locomotive has pick-ups on all drive wheels, as well as the front and rear tender wheel sets. The model is also fitted with NEM couplings.

The recommended decoder for this model is the Gaugemaster DCC92, or the ESU Loksound GWR Group one decoder, S0161-8, for sound operation. The model's specifications include a gauge of OO, a motive power of steam, and a built period of 1883-1899, with a total of 260 locomotives produced.
