Description

Envisioned in the 1960s, concepted in 1975, mocked-up in 1979 and built as a prototype in 1982; then built in full production from 1988 onwards.

The D Class 4-6-0 was one of the newest modern steam locomotives to be built; as it was built to be a mix-traffic locomotive as well as a regional express locomotive.

The design of the D Class combines various other locomotive design together to create it; it had an LMS-esqe shillouette to it, ran with Gresley valve gear and had an enclosed 2+2 windowed cab of unqiue design. The locomotive was designated D12 during it's prototype testing on the ECML.

The locomotive can be outfitted with smoke deflectors; the smoke deflectors closest to the funnel are of Thompson design from his Pacific rebuilds & new builds; the other set of smoke deflectors are of custom design to provide a sharp gust of wind to push the smoke well clear of the cab.

The D Class was also seen with a yellow ended firebox door; this was to be compliant with BR Regulations.

This locomotive is part of my New Age Alternate History; as well as one of my older designs given a new lease on life.

The D Class comes with 3 tenders:

LNER Tendered

LMS Tendered

GWR Tendered

Also with:

Small Snowplough

Thompsom Smoke Deflector

Custom Smoke Deflector

Hybrid Smoke Deflector (combo of the 2)

Yellow End Smokebox Door

Custom Smoke Deflector [Yellow End]
Hybrid Smoke Deflector (combo of the 2) [Yellow End]
