Like our Class 11, this is the first time the distinctive Class 12s have been offered in ready-to-run form, with a range of period- and prototype-specific details incorporated into each model. Although outwardly similar to the Class 11s, we’ve included the various design alterations implemented by Oliver Bulleid when the Southern Railway placed the order for 26 locomotives prior to nationalisation. Most notable of which is the larger Bulleid-Firth-Brown wheels.

Furthermore, our tooling suite caters for the original and later style cab and nose end styles, with working electric lamps on the later versions, while all models feature cab interior lights which can be toggled on/off using the supplied magnetic wand or via DCC.

Five different versions will soon be available, encompassing the four main liveries carried during their career with British Railways, along with a rendition of the former 15231 in Tilcon blue, as it appeared during its life at Rylstone Quarry in North Yorkshire from 1971-85.

This is a strictly limited run, with only 300 pieces of each version being produced.We’ve managed to maintain the same price as the Class 11s, despite rising manufacturing and shipping costs.

Please note: these decorated samples are not quite perfect, with certain detail fittings omitted and a few areas earmarked for improvement.
