Fine Scale
7 Wide E2 Class (NWR livery with extended tanks and front spalshers) By BritishBricks
Available as Circuit Cubes powered and Unpowered.
The E2s were never a successful class. Intended for heavy shunting and short distence fright work, they were limited to operating in and around London due to their small fuel capacity. Attempts to use them for pushpull services failed due to their inability to travel far without refueling too. In the 50’s, they were transfered to Southampton Docks, but even there, their long wheelbase restricted their usefulness, especially compaired to the recently introduced USA tanks that were also used there. All 10 members of the class were scrapped between 1961-62, although there are rumors of an 11th member of the class which did prove to be a much more useful engine running on the small island network of the NWR.
