Produced for Model Rail by Rapido Trains, the ‘16XX’ is finished in BR black livery with early style emblems, plus a suitably weathered finish portraying No. 1661 as it appeared in the late 1950s/early 1960s, while working out of Worcester shed (85A). The model features a glowing firebox effect within the cab, along with a Next18 DCC socket and a speaker is pre-installed within the bunker.
Built by British Railway and entering traffic in 1955, ‘16XX’ No. 1661 became the last example to carry the distinctive spark-arresting ‘Busby’ chimney. This was required for workings to and from the Royal Naval Armaments Depot at Ditton Priors, although No. 1661 is better known for operating trains to a Worcestershire vinegar works, gaining the nickname ‘Vinegar Castle’, which was chalked on the cab sides, and this is replicated on our exclusive ‘OO’ gauge model.
