OR76AR005 East Kent Railway (EKR) 4-4-2T Class 0415 Adams Radial No.5

The Adams Radial Tank was designed for the LSWR by William Adams, officially under the 415 class title. 71 of the class were built between 1882 and 1885 and while most were withdrawn by the end of the First World War the locomotive class was so suited to operation on the Lyme Regis branch that the locomotive would remain in service there until 1961. A sole member of the class survives into preservation. The Adams Radial is DCC Ready and comes with an NEM 8 pin socket in the Coal Bunker. The small size of the prototype means the space for decoders in quite limited. We recommend installing a direct fit chip such as the TCS DP2X-UK direct plug in 8 pin.This can be obtained from good model shops and also DCC Specialist retailers.
