Why this kit matters

The LSWR (London & South Western Railway) was a major pre-grouping railway company serving southern England before the formation of the Southern Railway in 1923. Its locomotives were known for their distinctive dark green livery and robust designs suited to both mainline and shunting duties.

Locomotive 82 in LSWR Dark Green represents this earlier era of British railway history, offering modellers a chance to depict operations before nationalisation and the Southern Railway consolidation. These compact locomotives were essential for working small yards, docks, and branch line terminals.

How to use it

This ready-to-run locomotive can be placed directly onto compatible OO gauge track for immediate operation. It is especially suited to shunting wagons, working small freight yards, and operating in tightly curved industrial or dockside layouts. Regular maintenance of wheels and track will ensure smooth running.

This is a detailed scale model. Assembly, paint, and glue are not required. It is not a toy.
