Vendor Description (OnTracks)

Southern Suburban 1938 Train Pack Ltd Edition R2813

Scale: 1:76

This train pack captures those wonderful days before the storm clouds of the Second World War changed rail travel in the UK forever. The Southern Days Train Pack is "set" in the year of 1938 and features the deceptively powerful T9 and a rake of high windowed Maunsell coaches in the livery of the time. An additional coach pack is available to complete the full set number "329".

The set includes SR Class T9 No. 312 Maunsell Green with six wheel tender - period 1938.

The Drummond T9 Class were originally built for the LSWR between 1899 and 1900. Originally fitted with cross water tube boilers, they were all rebuilt with conventional boilers, super-heaters, larger smokeboxes and stovepipe chimneys by Robert Urie. The entire class also acquired bogie water-cart tenders and saw service on the famous ocean liner expresses.

Due to their swift-running ability the class were known as Greyhounds and were well liked by loco crews. Over 20 continued in service with Britsh Railways and the last examples were withdrawn in 1961 with one, 30120, being reserved as part of the National Collection.

Livery: SR Green Length: 229mm Finish: Pristine Motor: 5 pole skew wound. Loco drive Features: Individual Cab Components. DCC Decoder socket in tender DCC Ready
