Accurascale ACC2714-DCC 'Hinton Manor ' Bulled Up BR Lined Green (Late Crest) 4-6-0 No.7819 Steam Locomotive - DCC Sound

Expected Delivery Q4 2026 (Subject to Change at Manufacturer's Discretion).

The last Manor to be outshopped from Swindon in lined green (February 1960), following a decade in plain black, No. 7819 Hinton Manor spent its entire career in Wales. It later became a stalwart of the former Cambrian lines during the British Railways period.

In its final five years of service, before withdrawal in November 1965, it was allocated to Oswestry, Aberystwyth, and Shrewsbury. A popular choice to haul the Cambrian Coast Express, it was kept in particularly fine condition.

In August 1963, it was one of five Manors prepared to immaculate condition for Royal Train duties ahead of the visit of HM The Queen and HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, to Aberdovey. The following month it was further decorated with white-painted embellishments, including buffer heads, lamp irons, and smokebox door strapping.

Fortunately, No. 7819 was one of eight members of the class to survive a trip to the scrapyard, being rescued from Woodham Brothers, Barry Island, in January 1973. Restored to action in 1977 on the Severn Valley Railway, it returned to the main line in 1985 for the Great Western 150 celebrations, later starring in British Rail’s Cardigan Bay Express services in 1987. It last steamed in 1994 and is now a static exhibit at Highley on the SVR.
