Bachmann have made an excellent job of the Ivatt class 2MT, capturing the look of these small 2-6-0s very well. The model has dozens of separately fitted parts, from lamp irons to wire handrails.

Despite the deminutive size the motor has been fitted within the locomotive, with a DCC socket conveniently situated in the tender. A range of optional parts are supplied, including a shorter tender drawbar for use with larger radius curves. 

46440 is painted in the BR lined black livery with early style lion and wheel emblem. 

Model fitted with 8-pin DCC decoder socket

Designed as modern branchline engines these useful locomotives spread across the British Railways network replacing old and obsolete engines. The urgent need for modern locomotives resulted in the LMS design being multiplied by BR. The later BR standard equivalent (78xxx series) was almost identical.
