This is a Hornby R3456 OO Sir Hervis de Revel BR 4-6-0 N15 King Arthur Class Steam Locomotive #30792 . The N15 Class, introduced in 1918 from a design by Robert Urie, was also known as the King Arthur Class, being named after persons and places associated with the legend of King Arthur and the Round Table. This class of two cylinder 4-6-0 passenger steam locomotives proved to be one of the most successful during the post-grouping era of 1928-1948, with 74 locomotives being built during this time. The whole class was built in a total of six batches, with the first two batches being built at the London & South Western Railways Eastleigh Works between 1918-19 and 1922-23. Carrying the characteristics of Uries stove pipe chimney, Drummond style of cab and inspired by the shape of the H15, the first batches of locomotives became known as Urie Arthurs.Upon assuming the position of CME of the Southern Railway, Richard Maunsell built a third batch of ten locomotives at the Eastleigh Works and these became known as the Eastleigh Arthurs. Maunsells batch incorporated a small number of significant modifications including changes in the draft, valve gear, chimney, blastpipe and an overall increase in boiler pressure that significantly improved the performance.
