Bachmann Branchline 32-877 Class 4MT Fairburn 2-6-4 tank 42073 in BR lined black with late crest.

The London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Fairburn Tank 2-6-4T is a class of steam locomotive. They were designed by Charles E. Fairburn for the LMS. 277 of these locomotives were built between 1945 and 1951. This design was based on the earlier Stanier LMS Stanier 2-6-4T, which was derived from Henry Fowler's LMS Fowler 2-6-4T engine. Fairburn modified the design to have a shorter wheelbase allowing curves of 5 chains to be negotiated. It was also the basis for the later British Rail Standard Class 4 tank. They were used mainly for suburban passenger trains. Forty-one examples of the class were constructed by Brighton railway works for service on the Southern Region of British Railways in 1950 and 1951, replacing earlier designs. The class was withdrawn between 1961 and 1967. Two of the Brighton-built locomotives have survived in preservation.

This engine is in immaculate condition and looks hardly run. The finish is "as new" with no flaws and everything as it should be. It has been fully tested and runs very well indeed.

It comes in its original box along with most of the original paperwork.​
