Like many of Fowler's designs, the locomotive would initially be part of the Midland Railway pool of locomotives before the Grouping Act would come into effect in 1923. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Midland Railway was awash with mineral traffic in the early 1900s and the railway did not really have a suitable locomotive up to the task of hauling trains of the lengths that were demanded, as such the MR had a habit of rostering double-headed 0-6-0 engines on a near-permanent basis. Initially conceived as a 2-6-0 tender engine, the eventual 0-6-0 design would become one of Fowler's most numerous.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first of the class, 3835 would be built with a Schmidt-type superheater with the second in the class being equipped with a Swindon-style superheater such was Fowler's interest in the technology and his hunger to incorporate it into his design. Production versions of the 4F would be built between 1917 and 1922 as the MR class 4, 1924 and 1928 as the first of the LMS 4F batch, with a final run being built between 1937 and 1941 as a second LMS batch authorised by William Stanier, although with little enthusiasm from the then CME.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe class would begin to be withdrawn in 1959 with final withdrawals taking place in 1966. Four of the class would be preserved in total with 4027, the first LMS example, preserved as part of the national collection. Only one example of a Midland Railway built 4F would survive into preservation, number 3924. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis locomotive is notable for two reasons, the first being due to its status as the only remaining Midland example and the second being that it was the first locomotive to leave Barry Scrapyard Number 61 was delivered straight to the S\u0026amp;DJR in 1922. The last of five locomotives to be delivered would receive the internal power classification 5P4G, slightly higher than that given by the Midland Railway and the LMS. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese 5 examples, built in 1922 were built by Armstrong-Whitworth as were all examples constructed in that year. The locomotive would become part of the LMS in 1930 and would receive the number 4561. Just prior to its entry into BR service in 1948 and its renumbering to 44561, the locomotive would be converted to oil burning albeit temporarily. The locomotive would be withdrawn in April 1962 and scrapped with haste.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hornby 4F is a perfect tender engine for someone who has only ever had tank engines. This model is fitted with a three-pole motor and gearing allowing for good slow speed performance. The model's driving wheels are fitted with traction tyres increasing the tractive effort of the model allowing for more wagons to be hauled.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat's Inside: 1x Steam Locomotive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItem Length - Without Packaging (cm)\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e23\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItem Height - Without Packaging (cm)\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItem Width - Without Packaging (cm)\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e3.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItem Weight - Without Packaging\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e0.25\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItem Scale\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e1:76 Scale 00 Gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003ePainted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eBlue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGauge\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eOO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC Status\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eDCC Ready 8 pin socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperator\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eS\u0026amp;DJR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigner\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eSir Henry Fowler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWheel Configuration\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e0-6-0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLivery\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eSDJR 'Prussian' Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum Curve (mm)\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eRadius 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotor\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e3 Pole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Parts\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClass\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eFowler 4P Class\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuffer Type\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eFixed Metal Buffers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoupling Type\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eNon-NEM Pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hornby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42714130251932,"sku":"R30285","price":289.49,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0585\/9095\/3628\/files\/R30285.jpg?v=1729181534","url":"https:\/\/www.harveynorman.lol\/products\/oo-s-djr-class-4f-0-6-0-no-61-era-2","provider":"Hobbyco","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
