Dapol have released an update on the development of their all new ex LSWR/SR/BR M7 0-4-4T along with images of their latest Engineering Prototype.

The LSWR M7 is a class of 0-4-0 passenger tank locomotive built between 1897 and 1911. Drummond designed the class for use on the intensive London network of the London and South Western Railway (LSWR). 105 were built, the class went through several modifications over five production batches. For this reason, there were detail variations such as frame length. Many of the class were fitted for pull-push operations that enabled efficient use on branch line duties.



The model will feature a highly detailed body with many separately added parts die cast chassis, a 3 pole can motor and all wheel pick up
