Product Description

Add a BR (Early) K1 Class locomotive to your model railway layout today. This stylish OO steam engine features sprung metal buffers and NEM tension lock couplings, and you can upgrade to DCC control by adding a 21 pin decoder (sold seperately).
Built in 1949/50, after the formation of BR in 1948, but to an LNER design that was instigated by Edward Thompson, with the conversion of a three-cylinder ‘K4’ at Darlington in 1945, the two-cylinder ‘K1s’ were much modified by Thompson’s successor as Chief Mechanical Engineer, Arthur H Peppercorn.
No.62046 emerged from the North British Locomotive Works in Glasgow in October 1949 and was first allocated to Darlington shed. After a reallocation to York (North) in June 1956, the locomotive ended its career there in February 1967 and was scrapped by Hughes Bolckow at Blyth during April.
