This model was based on the No.2 Tank Engine in the pre-war Hornby Series, which went out of production in 1929. The original models were available only with a clockwork mechanism but the E/1 locomotives by ACE Trains have 20v electric mechanisms with remote control in AC/DC. IS = in DC only with isolating switch.

* 44 of the E/1 series in Southern livery were given a very large range of factory produced names at the request of customers (1996/97). These were gold transfers and were said to be in homage to the SR River Class tanks. ** Some of the PLM version carried factory produced names on gold transfer nameplates.

 

E/2 4-4-2 Tank Engine (1997)

The E/2 series of locomotives were DC only and were fitted with a neutral switch allowing them to stand stationary on live track. They seem to have been based on a LNWR Whale 4-4-2T. 2 cab styles were available for this short lived series.
