PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Expected Delivery Q2 2025

Clark Railworks are proud to announce our first OO gauge 1:76.2 - 4mm scale steam
locomotive. The War Department Austerity 2-10-0.

When entered the OO market with the Quads, we said we wanted to make an impact.
That’s the exact reason for choosing a loco as striking and impressive as the WD 2-10-0.
As you can see from the CADs, and just like our Black 5 in O gauge, the detailing and quality of components is of paramount importance - as I’m sure you can see from the multitude of pipes, separately fitted parts and underside detailing.

The model has been fully designed and engineered in the UK and will feature a high quality coreless motor and a high quality gear train, alongside catering for left and right hand drive  variants, we will also be producing a range of liveries including LMR Blue, WD Khaki Green, BR Black Early & Late Crest, and Brunswick Green.

We would like to express our sincere thanks to the Midland and Great Northern Joint
Railway Society (M&GN), the volunteers and staff at the North Norfolk Railway, Ian Foot and the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, The Severn Valley Railway (SVR) and the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway (KWVR).

Without their invaluable help and passion for their respective engines, this project would not have been what it is.

Specific Locomotive History

Built for the Ministry of Supply in July 1945 and delivered as number ‘73791’ with works number 25637. The locomotive’s first British Railways allocation was to March shed. While here, in 1948, the locomotive was renumbered ‘90767’. On the 6th August 1950 the locomotive was allocated to 68A Carlisle Kingmoor, then followed by allocations to 66A Polmadie and finally 66B Motherwell where it remained until withdrawal on 29th December 1962. From here ‘90767’ was moved to Darlington locomotive works for scrapping.
