The LMS ‘Twins’ – Nos. 10000 and 10001 – were the very first mainline diesel locomotives built in the UK and now, this pioneering pair is available in N scale for the first time thanks to Graham Farish.

This model of No. 10000 depicts the first of the ‘Twins’ which entered service with the LMS just days before Nationalisation in December 1947, and so carries ‘LMS’ in large chrome letters on the bodyside – the locomotive would carry these during its early years of BR-ownership and was so adorned until 1951. In this original condition, No. 10000 operated on the Midland Region hauling trains both alone and as a pair with its twin, providing additional haulage power and range.

The Graham Farish model of No. 10000 is a highly detailed masterpiece in miniature, adorned with numerous separately fitted components to accurately capture the appearance of this pioneering machine. The livery application captures the splendour of the prototype, whilst engine room detailing has been replicated through the bodyside windows for the first time. Inside, the proven combination of a coreless motor and twin flywheels, driving both bogies and with all-wheel drive will provide enough power for any prototypical train. The Next18 DCC decoder socket and a pre-fitted speaker make it easy to equip these models for DCC and even add sound, or why not opt for our SOUND FITTED model and enjoy realistic sound effects straight out of the box – whether you’re running on analogue or DCC! Coupled with No. 10001, the LMS Twins will make the perfect addition to any early-BR layout.
