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 N7 BR Black Late Crest 0‑6‑2 Tank Locomotive No 69670 is a model replica of the Great Eastern Railway L77 class, later operated by British Railways. The locomotive was originally designed by Alfred Hill in 1915 and a total of 134 examples were built between 1915 and 1928 at five different works. The class remained in service until withdrawals began in 1957 and the final engine was retired in 1962; one example survives on static display at the East Anglian Railway Museum.

The model measures 213 mm in length and is finished in pristine condition with a black livery bearing the late crest. It carries the running number 69670 and is fitted with a DCC‑ready 8‑pin socket. The minimum curve radius is specified as the 2nd radius (438 mm). The locomotive operates using a smooth‑running 5‑pole motor, with pick‑ups on all drive wheels and on the front and rear wheel sets, and includes NEM couplings.

Key features include high‑definition livery detailing, separately fitted detail components, motor gearing to reflect scale speed operation, and a highly detailed cab interior. The model is supplied with the manufacturer part number OR76N7004.
