In total 350 have been made with 150 sound fitted version (currently sold out on pre-order) as well as 200 DCC ready versions of which there are less than 40 remaining for pre-orders. Key Publishing Modelling Publisher Mike Wild commented: “Our customer services team will be contacting all pre-order customers in the coming days for balance of payment for the model to ensure that orders are despatched swiftly on arrival in our warehouse.”
The ‘Manor’ is Accurascale’s first ‘OO’ gauge ready-to-run steam locomotive and will feature a Next18 decoder socket in the tender, two speaker spaces, firebox glow and a five-pole motor with a helical gearbox for scale speed running. The physical specification calls for separately fitted handrails throughout, turned metal wheels, metal motion, full cab interior detail, etched metal parts, a fully detailed body using information from laser-scanning of 7808 Cookham Manor at Didcot Railway Centre and more.
