Summary
The BR Battle of Britain Class '303 Squadron' model locomotive brings military pride to your model railway layout. With sprung metal buffers and NEM tension lock couplings, you can upgrade this OO model to HM7000 control by adding a 21-pin decoder (sold seperately).
This locomotive was built in 1947 at the SR’s Brighton Works as 21C153 and named ‘Sir Keith Park’. It was built to Bulleid’s three-cylinder air-smoothed design with chain drive and an oil-bath for lubrication. Along with many of its classmates, it was rebuilt to Jarvis’ more conventional design with air smooth casing removed and Walschaerts valve gear fitted.
Withdrawn in 1965, it was later rescued from Barry scrapyard and returned to steam by the dedicated team at Southern Locomotives Ltd. In 2024, it was temporarily renamed ‘303 Squadron’ at the Spa Valley Railway in honour of the Polish fighter squadron that fought in the Battle of Britain.
