Ellis Clark Trains has received the first Engineering Prototype (EP) of its forthcoming newly tooled ‘O’ gauge LMS Stanier Black Five 4-6-0 for evaluation.
Introduced between 1934 and 1951 by William Stanier, 842 of the versatile mixed-traffic locomotives were built with some surviving until the very end of steam on British Railways in 1968. 18 are preserved and are popular sights on heritage railways across the UK.
18 versions are planned by the retailer including numbered and unnumbered examples in LMS lined black, LMS lined black with 1936 lettering, early BR lined black, late BR lined black, plain BR black and plain black.
The model will combine die-cast, brass and plastic components to make what Ellis Clark says will be a super-detailed body with a genuine ABC helical gearbox, sprung axleboxes, working locomotive lamps and firebox glow, together with riveted or welded tender options.
The DCC version boasts an exclusive Zimo sound decoder with a boom box double speaker located within the locomotive.
Prices are set at £949 DCC ready and £1,175 DCC sound fitted. Delivery is anticipated during the second half of 2022.
