35-225SF Bachmann LMS 8F Steam Loco number 8036 - LMS Black with Riveted Tender SOUND FITTED

New release - pre-orders invited - expected Jun/Jul 2026. preauthkernow

The Stanier 8F is an all-time icon of British locomotive design, few other classes were as numerous as the 8Fs and they played a vital role in the allied victory during World War Two, yet surprisingly OO Scale models of this unsung hero have never been produced by Bachmann Branchline, until now. With an award winning model of the 8F already part of the Graham Farish N Scale portfolio, we’ve answered the countless requests to make a model just as good for OO too, and with even finer detail and new features that simply aren’t available in the smaller scale, the Branchline model is the ultimate rendition of Stanier’s ultimate freight machine.

Constructed from a diecast metal boiler, running plate and chassis, the Branchline 8F certainly packs a punch and its strong, powerful performance is coupled with the latest technological features like the firebox lighting system, Bach-Up Stay Alive System and Dual Fitted speakers. SOUND FITTED models take advantage of the Dual Fitted speakers to provide realistic sound effects while the SOUND FITTED DELUXE versions take things a step further with Bachmann’s revolutionary Auto-Release Couplings fitted to the tender providing hands-free, automated uncoupling at the press of a DCC function key. With a comprehensive tooling suite, the various detail differences seen across the 8F fleet can be replicated along with a choice of three tenders so that many of the 800+ locomotives can be accurately portrayed at any given time in their operation career.

LMS 8F HISTORY

The first of Stanier’s 2-8-0 8Fs emerged from Crewe Works in 1935, one of 331 locomotives ordered by the LMS, however by 1945 a total of 852 8Fs had been built. The extra 521 came about as a result of their engineer Robert Riddles being seconded to the Ministry of Supply during World War Two. Riddles halted an order for ROD 2-8-0s, the engines that had proved so important during the First World War, and instead chose the Stanier 8F as the War Department’s standard steam locomotive for the Second World War.

The ministry of supply ordered 208 for the War Department, meanwhile 245 were ordered for the LMS by the Railway Executive Committee who had taken control of the Big 4 during the conflict.  These were built by the SR, GWR and LNER, the latter pair effectively keeping the locomotives that they constructed on loan until peacetime returned. Add to this 68 locomotives that the LNER decided to order for its own fleet, becoming the Class O6, of which 43 were built in-house at Doncaster and Darlington and 25 came from Brighton Works.

The War Department locomotives were shipped primarily overseas, serving with the Middle East Forces of the British Army. Many did not return, having been either lost in transit, lost in battle or sold to the state railways in the countries they had served in once their turn in action was over.

In 1948 British Railways inherited 624 8Fs upon Nationalisation, these being the majority of the LMS fleet give or take a few dozen that were requisitioned, and those operated by the GWR and LNER. Following repatriations and the return of surplus locomotives to BR from military use, the 8F fleet peaked at 666 engines between 1957 and 1960, when the first succumbed to withdrawal. With few exceptions they were allocated to the London Midland Region and found plentiful work hauling all manner of goods plus summer weekend workings and excursion traffic where they turned their hand to passenger haulage with ease.

It would be 1964 before withdrawals reached double figures and by the start of 1968, the final year of steam on British Rail, 150 8Fs were still in traffic, centred around the final bastion of steam in the North West of England. 8F No. 48518 would take responsibility for the final steam-hauled goods train on BR on 3rd August, followed on the 4th, the final day or ‘normal’ steam, by No. 48773 hauling a leg of the Locomotive Club of Great Britain’s ‘Farewell to Steam Railtour’.

Preservation dealt the 8F a meagre hand with just eight of the 852 locomotives built still extant in the UK today. A further six can be found abroad in Turkey, Israel and Iraq, bringing the total to 14 survivors
