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
