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.

Oxfordshire Class N7 0-6-2 BR Early 69612 is a model steam locomotive in pristine condition, finished in black with the early British Railways emblem. It carries the running number 69612 and is DCC ready with an 8‑pin socket.

The model measures 213 mm in length and can negotiate a minimum curve of the 2nd radius (438 mm). It is fitted with a 5‑pole skew‑wound motor, pick‑ups on all drive wheels as well as on the front and rear wheel sets, and NEM couplings. Motor gearing is set to reflect scale‑speed operation.

The prototype was designed by Alfred John Hill between 1915 and 1928. A total of 134 locomotives were built at five works: Stratford (20), Gorton (40), Robert Stephenson & Co (20), William Beardmore & Co (20) and Doncaster (32). They were in service with the Great Eastern Railway L77 and later British Railways, with withdrawal beginning in 1957 and the final engine withdrawn in 1962. One example survives on static display at the East Anglian Railway Museum.

Features of the model include a highly detailed cab interior, separately fitted detail components, high‑definition livery specification and DCC readiness. The wheel arrangement is 0‑6‑2T, the colour is black and the motive power is represented as steam.
