Hornby SR Class M7 318 Southern Olive Green

SR Class M7 318 Southern Olive Green

This Hornby model of Southern Railway ‘M7’ Class No. 318 is presented in authentic Era 3 condition, reflecting the locomotive’s appearance during its SR service.

DCC ready with an 8-pin socket, it offers an easy route to digital control, while sprung metal buffers and NEM couplings ensure realistic detail. A faithful tribute to one of Drummond’s iconic tank engines.

History:

Dugald Drummond designed the ‘M7’ 0-4-4Ts as a more powerful replacement for the ageing Adams ‘T1’ Class used on the LSWR’s London suburban passenger services, with 105 examples built at Nine Elms (95) and Eastleigh (10) between 1897 and 1911. 

No. 318 entered service in August 1900, and kept its number throughout its Southern Railway days until becoming 30318 under BR in 1950. Withdrawal came just nine years later, in December 1959, when it was scrapped.
