Manufacturer description

The LNER J26 was built by the London North Eastern Railway company between 1904 and 1905. They were based on the earlier P2 class but featured a slightly improved boiler pressure and tractive effort. 50 of these locomotives were built in total, 30 were built at the Darlington works and 20 at the Gateshead works. They all lasted into BR ownership but were all scrapped with none of them surviving into preservation.

This locomotive is fitted with a DCC Decoder and an installed sound module. The sounds of the module include steam chuffs, whistle blowing, coal shovelling and many more.

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 Class J26 LNER 0-6-0 steam locomotive No.1057 – DCC Sound is a 2020 range model in pristine black finish. It carries the running number 5738 and is fitted with a DCC decoder and sound module that reproduces steam chuffs, whistle, coal shovelling and related sounds.

The model measures 208 mm over the buffers, has a minimum curve of 2nd radius (438 mm) and uses NEM couplings on a 2‑rail DCC track supply. It is supplied as a ready‑to‑run locomotive (no directional or interior lighting, no pickup in tender, no passenger figures). The manufacturer part number is OR76J26001XS and it represents the LNER J26 class of the Big Four era.

The real LNER J26 locomotives were built between 1904 and 1905, with a total of 50 produced. They were designed by Wilson Worsdell for the London and North Eastern Railway, featured a 0‑6‑0 wheel arrangement and were withdrawn in December 1964 after 16 years of service under British Railways. None survived into preservation.
