Product Info


This newly tooled RailRoad B4 Class steam shunter is the ideal little tank engine for a model railway layout. Whether running a short train around a layout or shunting wagons in a goods yard, it is the perfect little steam engine for getting things moved!



The B4 Class were first introduced in the 1890’s with their original purpose being for station piloting and shunting freight wagons in docks. They were designed by London and South Western Railway (LSWR). The close wheel configuration made them ideal for shunting around tight radius curves that were common in docks and works yards with limited space. 

Two examples of these fine locomotives are still preserved today, including the one we've replicated here, ‘Normandy’, which still serves at the Bluebell Preserved Railway in the South East.
