History

The GWR Manor was a versatile 4-6-0 configured locomotive designed with a lighter axle loading than the existing and popular Grange class which enabled the Manor to operate in regions of the GWR where this was not possible with a locomotive of comparable power. In all, 30 Manor class locomotives were manufactured at Swindon in two batches: 20 between 1938 and 1939 and then a further 10 post nationalisation in 1950 which were designated 5MT. Although initially the performance of the locomotive was deemed at best mediocre, subtle internal refinements made towards the mid 1950s resulted in a successful and popular locomotive. In all nine examples of the Manor survived into preservation.

General Specification

Many original GA drawings were used in the development of these accurate and authentic models. The locomotive has a diecast chassis with a coreless motor driving the rear wheels. To add compensation the centre driving wheels are sprung, the front pony truck is also sprung and operates on a cam so the model will negotiate Radius 2 curves with ease.

To portray these locomotives over their lifetime many details have been drawn up as follows:-

Body

Diecast boiler
Diecast footplate
Appropriate Buffer types
Tall vacuum pipe on the tender
Lower vacuum on the locomotive
Smoke box number plate for B.R. period
Highly detailed cab interior

Chassis

Diecast chassis – split frames for live bearing pick-up
Blackened nickel plated diecast driving wheels
Brass bearings
Plastic keeper plate with brake shoe/linkage details
Sprung centre driving wheels
Wheels to NMRA standard
Electrical
Pickup from loco driving wheels and tender
Coreless motor
Tender body to be easily removable
Space for sugar cube speaker in tender
Firebox glow
Locomotive to tender with electrical connections for motor and locomotive pick-up via pin and socket vertically mounted under the cab
