Since the early-1940s the War Department Austerity Saddle Tank has been a common sight on Britain’s railways – playing a vital role in the Allied victory of World War Two before becoming a mainstay of industrial operations and, more recently, heritage railways. Unveiled as part of the EFE Rail range, the WD Austerity Saddle Tank is a fitting subject as the brand’s first N scale steam locomotive.
This all-new model is a high-fidelity miniature recreation of the prototype, sporting details such as metal handrails, sand boxes and pipes, brake hangers and separately fitted brake rigging, and a decorated cab backhead. Daylight is visible beneath the boiler, just as it should be, below which a representation of the inside motion has been moulded onto the chassis. The model is powered by a coreless motor, with electrical pickup from all wheels whilst each axle runs in a pair of separate metal bearings. DCC provision is by way of a 6 pin decoder socket located in the cab, however due to the limited space available a very small decoder is required for this model.
The Wemyss Private Railway acquired No. 15 in 1964 to join its fleet of 0-6-0 tanks operating on the private line which transported coal from the estate’s collieries in Fife, Scotland, to nearby docks and rail interchanges. No. 15 operated until 1970 when the line closed but was saved for preservation and has been restored back into W.P.R livery, complete with air brakes, as depicted by this EFE Rail model.
