Показать описание
A fantastic little loco with good pulling power and smooth running. The open cab makes it easy to put the crew in.
They were built in real life from 1878 to 1892.
All 185 passed to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) at the grouping in 1923. Withdrawals started in 1927 and by 1948 when the railways were nationalised, 72 locomotives passed into British Railways ownership in 1948 and they allocated numbers 40000 higher than their LMS numbers, although 14 were withdrawn before the new numbers were applied. Withdrawals continued and by 1961 only 11 remained; the last five were withdrawn in September 1965. The class had only lasted as long as it had because the Midland Railway had signed a contract in 1866 to provide shunting engines to Staveley Ironworks for 100 years; the 1Fs, as they were by then, were the only locomotives suitable to perform this duty.

Beautiful looking layout, if you get time it would be good to see a video that shows more of the layout off. You've captured the atmosphere of the railway which is the hardest thing to do...
