Manufacturer description

Prototype info

The Kerr Stuart “Victory” locomotives were a class of 10 0-6-0t sourced by the Inland Waterways and Docks Department in 1917. Most saw service at various southern ports before being sold into industry after hostilities ended. Six examples went directly into colliery service, two to the Alexandra Docks Railway, one to the Brecon and Merthyr and one to Colonel Stephens's East Kent (also a coal hauler). A number survived in industrial service into the late 1960s, none were preserved.

The 1:76 scale '00' gauge model features a high torque motor, flywheel driven chassis with darkened RP25-110 profile wheels, highly detailed accurate body with separately applied details and a NEXT18 DCC interface. It will safely negotiate a minimum R2 curve.

Model details

Prototype information

Planet Industrials Kerr Stuart ‘Victory’ 0‑6‑0T locomotive is offered in a limited edition called Rails of Sheffield. The model carries DCC status DCC 18, manufacturer part number PI‑001‑A and represents the period of the Big Four railway companies (LNER, LMS, GWR and SR).

The original ‘Victory’ class comprised ten 0‑6‑0T tank engines built for the Inland Waterways and Docks Department in 1917. After World War I the locomotives worked at several southern ports before being sold to industrial users; six entered colliery service, two joined the Alexandra Docks Railway, one went to the Brecon and Merthyr Railway and one to Colonel Stephens’s East Kent line. A few survived in industrial use into the late 1960s, but none were preserved.

The 1:76 scale ‘00’ gauge model includes an injection‑moulded ready‑to‑run body with over 200 individual components, a die‑cast metal chassis, fine‑scale RP25‑110 wheels and a six‑wheel electrical pickup. Power is supplied by a high‑torque flywheel‑driven motor driving the rear axle through a 40:1 precision gearbox, allowing slow, smooth running and negotiation of a minimum R2 curve. The model is DCC ready with a NEXT18 interface, features full cab detail, sprung buffers, NEM coupler pockets at the correct height, optional front steps and tool‑boxes, and etched works plates showing all ten works numbers.
