The model features a British Railways Early Crest livery in LMR blue with red lining. It was manufactured by ALCO in Schenectady, USA in 1944 and is allocated to the Longmoor Military Railway.

Key features of this model include standard lamp irons, a straight strap smokebox door, a Westinghouse air pump, and pipework mounted behind the chimney. The running boards are straight, and the model has a right-hand drive with a pole reverser and an original pattern firehole door. The tender is a standard wartime design, and the boiler is equipped with an ejector pipe.
