LRH11. BR ex-SR ex-LSWR Adams '0395' Class 3F 0-6-0 and Tender No. 30578 as a RESTORATION PROJECT. In plain BR black livery, weathered, with 'BRITISH RAILWAYS' in full on the tender and shedplate 70C Guildford. This is from a Laurie Griffin brass kit built and painted by Charlie King. Fitted with a multi-stage gearbox with a Canon or similar motor, Slaters wheels, a little bit of compensation on the centre driving axle, a Kadee coupling on the tender with a screw couling on the loco, and with very good cab detail and crew. Additionally fitted with DCC and Sound using an ESU Loksound chip (address 78). It will also run on DC and has a DC/DCC changeover switch fitted on the underside of ther chassis. The model has had medium use. Although it runs it is sold as a Restoration Project due to only having plunger pickups working on the leading axle - it has plungers fitted on the trailing axle but these are not currently working. The prototype was into service from Neilson, Reid & Company (Glasgow) in May 1883 as LSWR No. 442 becoming Southern Railway No. 3442 thence BR No. 30578. It was already at Guildford at the start of British Railways in January 1948 and was withdrawn from there in August 1957. It was not one of the ones which went to Palestine and Mesopotamia between 1916 and 1918 but many of the class did. £650 as a RESTORATION PROJECT.
