The latest addition to our fleet of LMS Class 5MT model locomotives features our innovative steam generator technology. This highly detailed OO gauge model sends out burst of steam in time with the movement of the wheels for the most realistic running. Fitted with HM7000, it also includes sound and control from your mobile device. With sprung metal buffers and NEM tension lock couplings, this is an impressive locomotive for your model railway layout.

History

The Wiiliam Stanier-designed Class 5 was introduced in 1934 onto the LMS and by the time the last was built in 1951, the class was 842-strong. No. 45473 was completed at Derby in May 1943, entering service as 5473 and spending much of its working life in Scotland, being part of Perth’s allocation at the time of Nationalisation in 1948 and finishing its career at Dundee Tay Bridge. From there, it was withdrawn in November 1966 and subsequently scrapped at W.H. Arnott, Young at Co. Ltd, Carmyle, Glasgow the following February.
