SONIC MODELS LBSCR K CLASS UPDATE
The Sonic Models OO Gauge LBSCR K Class 2-6-0, available EXCLUSIVELY here at Rails of Sheffield just got even better! Following feedback from modellers and additional research we have made some exciting changes to the range - including changes to existing identities, revised liveries and some new additions to the range as well! Alongside this we are pleased to share with you the completed livery artwork for each model, which you can see for yourself here. Now that we have these and the first engineering samples - we look forward to sharing the decorated samples with you in the coming months. If you have already pre-ordered a K Class, we recommend that you review your order to ensure that you still have the correct items reserved.

PROTOTYPE INFORMATION:
The LBSCR Engineer, Robert Billinton, in 1912 designed a new powerful goods locomotive that coped with heavy loads at speed. No 337 appeared the following year (1913) and by 1921 a total of 17 had been constructed at Brighton works. They proved to be very successful providing invaluable support during WW1 when very large freight movements were required. The locomotives also coped well with passenger services providing a good all-round service to the railway. Billinton was not afraid to improve the steaming characteristics to help reduce coal running costs and the design innovations included an additional dome and top feed. This feature was improved and the last seven locomotives left Brighton works including this feature which lasted through to the end of the 1920’s before all were modified back to one dome. More would have been built but for the fact that the LBSCR was merged into the larger SR in 1923 and the new company appointed a new Engineer Richard. E. L. Maunsell. He favoured his own N and U class designs so no more K Class locomotives were built.
