Popular Post Chris-ECT Posted November 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) Clark Railworks 4mm OO WD Austerity 2-10-0 Clark Railworks are proud to announce our first OO gauge 1:76.2 - 4mm scale steam locomotive. The War Department Austerity 2-10-0. When we entered the OO market with the Quads, we said we wanted to make an impact. That’s the exact reason for choosing a loco as striking and impressive as the WD 2-10-0. As you can see from the CADs, and just like our Black 5 in O gauge, the detailing and quality of components was of paramount importance - as I’m sure you can see from the multitude of pipes, separately fitted parts and underside detailing. The model has been fully designed and engineered in the UK and will feature a high quality coreless motor and a high quality gear train, alongside catering for left and right hand drive variants, we will also be producing a range of liveries including LMR Blue, WD Khaki Green, BR Black Early & Late Crest, and Brunswick Green. We would like to express our sincere thanks to the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway Society (M&GN), the volunteers and staff at the North Norfolk Railway, Ian Foot and the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, The Severn Valley Railway (SVR) and the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway (KWVR). Without their invaluable help and passion for their respective engines, this project would not have been what it is.

RMweb Premium Fair Oak Junction Posted November 17, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) No, no no no no no! My wallet!!! 😭 LMR Gordon was the first steam locomotive I ever saw in person. Way back in the early 90s on the SVR. It is my earliest railway memory. I can't not buy one!

Standards_in_OO Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Great to see all the main preservation examples produced in the first run. It has to be Dame Vera Lynn for me to bring back the 90’s nostalgia NYMR visits as a child. 2 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSpencer Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) Oh la la.... another huge announcement. Guess we will see a V4 announced by the weekend too.... Which to choose? The S-100, the U1 or this???? This has been higher on my list than the others so.... (Actually I want all 3 but....) EDIT: And Dame Vera Lynn wins.... DCC sound order straight in. A no brainer. Well done Clark Railworks. Only suggestion could be, maybe DCC smoke version as well..... Edited November 17, 2023 by JSpencer 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Delamar Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Ordered 90763 as it visited the location I am modelling. Interested to know about the axles as mine will be converted to EM. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad McCann Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Yes. Yes and Yes. This is a "Biggie" for me being a huge postwar era ScR staple. A bold choice for E&C but a really solid one. South of the Solway, it's bound to be popular because of the Longmoor and preservation connections too so I definitely wish well for this product. Well worth the money for the spec although I did originally read part of it as 'manganese cylinder liners'! 🤣 Bravo, Ellis and Clark. Anybody with a likeable wee dug as part of their corporate image deserves success. 😉 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Michael, our weathering and repairs guy is an EM modeller and as such has had an input into the design and mech side of the model. The axles are spec'd at 3mm to allow Alan Gibson or similar to be fitted in place. Neil will be converting one of the pre-production samples as and when they start to arrive. Hope this helps? 5 1 4 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovbulleid Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Duly ordered a ‘Gordon’. All I ask is that they given it a couple of years before they release a model of ‘Kitchener’. I'm surprised that this wasn’t snapped up by Bachmann, the tooling wouldn’t have been a huge upgrade from their 2-8-0 version. There aren’t many big LMR engines left to be released now, by my estimate the half dozen 8Fs are the only ones not yet done in RTR yet. If Hornby redo the 8F next year I’d be amazed if the LMR wasn’t considered- they could do a multipack with a model of Caen and call it ‘Little and Large’… 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't Gibson OO and EM wheels the same though, just with alternative axle lengths? If so I would hope that a conversion to EM wouldn't need new wheels, just longer axles. Perhaps complicated by the wheel/axle interface - I think some wheels might now come on stub axles? Apologies if any of this wrong! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 This promises to be a fantastic model!! Must admit I've pre-ordered a predictable option - Gordon of course. I just thought something so relatively different and waited for needed to stand out a little - my loco. Fantastic surprise for me today - never saw this one coming!

DLPG Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Vera ordered with sound. It will not fit with my layout but have have fond memories have journeys behind Vera on the NYMR. Just hope I get the S160 to pair up. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan70000 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 A wise and oft-requested choice, plenty of appealing names and liveries which is rather ironic considering these were designed for wartime grunt work! If I'm honest though, the first thing that caught my eye was the price. £295 - certainly enough to make a budget conscious modeller think twice. However, if that price reflects in the quality of the model- and I'm sure it will- this could be one of the finest RTR OO gauge models ever manufactured. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
