Detaillierte Beschreibung
Das Londoner Schienennetz ist bekannt für seine Elektrifizierung und den unterirdischen Betrieb, doch es gab stets eine kleine Flotte von Dampflokomotiven, die für den Betrieb von Infrastrukturzügen auf den oberirdischen Strecken eingesetzt wurden. In den 1950er Jahren hatten diese älteren Lokomotiven ihre besten Zeiten hinter sich, und London Transport begann, nach Ersatz zu suchen. Diesellokomotiven wurden in Betracht gezogen, ebenso wie eine kleine Flotte ehemaliger GNR-Dampflokomotiven des Typs J52, doch deren Test verlief erfolglos. 1956 fand man schließlich die Lösung: kürzlich außer Dienst gestellte ehemalige GWR-Tenderlokomotiven des Typs 57xx.
Um die geringeren Durchfahrtshöhen zu ermöglichen, mussten die Führerhausdächer modifiziert werden. Dazu wurde der überstehende Dachteil entfernt und eine neue Regenrinne höher angebracht. Außerdem mussten die Lokomotiven mit Bremsventilen ausgestattet werden, um mit dem Signalsystem der LT kompatibel zu sein. Diese Bremsventile betätigten eine Rampe, die bei Rotlicht hochgefahren wurde, wodurch die Vakuumbremse ausfiel und der Zug zum Stehen kam. An der Laufplatte wurden zusätzliche Halterungen angebracht, an denen die Bremsventile befestigt wurden. Da für die Bauzüge keine Dampfheizung benötigt wurde, wurde diese entfernt. Insgesamt kaufte die LT 13 Lokomotiven, von denen jedoch nur 11 gleichzeitig im Einsatz waren.
Die hier dargestellte L91 war tatsächlich die zweite Lokomotive mit der Nummer L91. Ursprünglich war diese Nummer der ehemaligen GWR-Lokomotive 5752 zugeteilt, einem 1929 in Swindon gebauten Lokomotivenwerk. Sie war eine der ersten, die 1958 bei der London Transportation Authority (LT) in Betrieb genommen wurde. Als sie 1960 repariert werden musste, waren die Kosten jedoch zu hoch, sodass sie verschrottet und durch die zweite L91 ersetzt wurde, die wir hier nachgebildet haben. Die zweite L91 stammte aus derselben Baureihe, war die ehemalige GWR-Lokomotive 5757. Sie unterschied sich von der ersten dadurch, dass sie keine Oberbeschickung hatte und ihren hinteren Kessel bis zu ihrer endgültigen Außerdienststellung 1968 beibehielt. Leider wurde die L91 nicht erhalten und 1970 von Chesterfield Steelbreaking and Dismantling Limited verschrottet.

A brilliant exclusive model with plenty of details and runs great, and being a exclusive model the box artwork is very well done indeed
Great little locomotive , I love the attention to detail on this model, the lined maroon LT livery, the fluted connecting rods, the tool boxes and intricate pipework, and the highly detailed cab interior
I'm so glad I got a London Transport example because red looks amazing on the Pannier tank, and this model has captured them perfectly. I'm very impressed
If the wiper pickups were touching all wheels I would have gladly given 5 star to and awesome model. Well done Accurascale. Well packaged. Well presented all you could want for a scale model in these current times.
Might’ve off been a wait but well worth it, the smooth they run perfectly not an issue
Love the livery, loco runs beautifully and the details are great, lovely little firebox glow whilst it runs around the layout, will need a nice set of coaches to put behind her now
Another highly detailed model from Accurascale as expected, the paint job is excellent and this is a very smooth runner. The packaging is excellent, as is the documentation covering the history of the locomotive class and maintenance. Great value for money for what you get. Highly recommended, as ever!
Amazingly detailed model as you come to expected and a good runner once the pickups were sorted out as 3 outof 6 were flush against the locos chassis (It was also the same on a second one I had ordered). Base keeper plate wasnt the easiest to come off as it wouldn't release from the back of the model to get full access to adjust the pickups and felt like I was gonna break something but I got there in the end.
What a beautiful model of L.91. I have always liked the LT Panniers since having a Bachmann one as a child, and this model brings that interest right up to date with a modern spec model that leaves the competition behind. It runs as well as it looks and the presentation of the box and booklet etc is first class. New favourite.
Received my LT91 Pannier Tank this week , A lovely model . Runs very well and is superbly detailed . Really happy with this one,
I delayed buying the LT Pannier Tank until it was too late and all versions had sold out. I was delighted to be notified that a standard DC version was available to buy and even more pleased to realise that I could buy the DCC sound decoder separately. When comparing it with my old version from another manufacturer, the cosmetic differences are obvious: details are finer, the modifications specific to the London Transport versions are visible and the presence of the motion inside the frames is really apparent. I'm sure I don't need to say much about the smooth running and excellent sound as that's something that the much older incaranation of another manufacturer's version of this model could never compete with. It really is a delightful model.
An absolutely stunning little engine. I do love the working Firefox.
Great team effort to get me that information email about L91 coming back in stock . I reacted in 6 minutes to get the best Pannier of all time in 00 gauge . Accurascale you provide the best models ! You have great chat Information areas and you do try and fulfill last minute orders . Please keep up steam models as well as diesel .
Accurascale have once again delivered a superb model. Very happy with it.
My only gripe is with fedex.
Like the other Pannier I got, GWR no. 5741, this is an equally great model and that London Transport Maroon livery is gorgeous. I can sadly only give this one four stars instead of five however because whenI got it out of the box it wasn’t really running well due to misassembled axles - this was an easy fix however
Stunning. Who’d have thought fans of London Transport, could get their hands on such amazing models as this.
All I can say is that this is another amazing locomotive,
A really nice model with lots of detail
I'm an uprooted Londoner that finally had room to build a permanent layout, London of the1950's, my childhood.
Modeling London Transport buses and trains of that era has always been a challenge and a niche market for kits, few ready to run items. Bachmann came out with Class 57's and they were poor runners, both the Hong Kong batch, then the China batch.
Finally something that ran straight from the box flawlessly! Great detail and price. Thank you for including London Transport in the range, historically the last working mainline steam.
Best detailed model I have ever purchased.
Time to buy a Manor loco.
Very accurate, realistic and performs well.
A beautiful loco that runs smoothly and looks the part. Close inspection reveals superbly crafted components.
This Locomotive has been on order for a while. It was worth the wait. The quality packaging ensured my model arrived undamaged. It is is so highly detailed & a good runner. Its low speed running is superb no hesitation over any point work.The colour is spot on. This Loco is a top class model. Accurascale has done a fantastic job with this model.
Gorgeous model. Best livery rendition I have ever seen in a pannier tank. Detail is exquisite. Very much looking forward to my next arrival!
A proper lil beauty !
It’s just so well detailed and and a pleasure to own ,your models are superb and great value fir money thank you so much
