The Bachmann Branchline model of the E4 is just as versatile, featuring diecast metal construction supplemented with high-fidelity injection moulded parts to create a model as strong and capable as its prototype. What’s more, the Branchline E4 has been upgraded for 2025 and now features a Next18 DCC decoder socket and provision for a speaker, allowing \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSOUND FITTED\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e models to be offered for the first time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto;

South Coast Railway’s (LB\u0026amp;SCR) locomotive fleet included a family of similar 0-6-2 ‘Radial’ Tanks, the first of which was designed by William Stroudley. His successor, Robert Billinton, grew the family which eventually included the E3, E4, E5 and E6 Classes to suit a wide variety of traffic. The E3s had small wheels and were intended for Goods work, whereas the E5 and E6 had larger wheels to suit passenger work. The E4 was somewhere in between, making it ideal for mixed traffic purposes and resulting in the E4 being the most numerous member of the family.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eThe first E4 was built in 1897 and over a period of 6 years, 75 were outshopped from the LB\u0026amp;SCR’s Brighton Works. Known as ‘Radial’ Tanks because of the radial axle below the cab which was used instead of a more conventional pony truck, these tanks were go anywhere locomotives and found work on local passenger and freight services. In later life BR employed some as station pilots including at London Waterloo where they would marshal empty carriages between the station and the carriage sidings at Clapham Junction.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eSeveral of the Class were named after towns, villages and geographical features in the LB\u0026amp;SCR area, and all passed into Southern Railway ownership upon Grouping in 1923. One was lost to enemy action during World War Two, but the remaining 74 were inherited by British Railways in 1948 although one was withdrawn the same year. Thereafter no further withdrawals were seen until 1955, and it was not until 1963 that the final four bowed out of service. Thankfully, one example No. 473 (later 32473 under BR ownership) was preserved and now forms part of the Bluebell Railway collection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simon's Trains","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57295649866101,"sku":"35-080","price":126.21,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/0708\/1885\/files\/Screenshot2026-06-16at12.11.43.png?v=1781608330","url":"https:\/\/simonstrains.co.uk\/products\/bachmann-35-080-lb-scr-e4-tank-2487-southern-black-sunshine-lettering-oo-scale","provider":"Simon's Trains","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
