LMS Fowler Class 3F

The London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Fowler 3F 0-6-0T is a class of steam locomotives, often known as Jinty.

The locomotives were built by the ex-L&YR Horwich Works and the private firms Bagnall's, Beardmores, Hunslet, North British and the Vulcan Foundry.

Thanks to their large numbers, renowned performance and late withdrawals, nine of these engines have been preserved, along with a spare set of frames and a boiler (from 47564).

Owned by Ian Riley, in February 2017 it was undergoing its "ten-yearly overhaul"[2] and was expected to return to operation "in a couple of years".

[6] An OO gauge model of the Class 3F was first produced by Tri-ang in 1952 and production continued after the company became Hornby Railways in the 1970s.

Hornby released a retooled version in 1978 with better detailing and continue to produce that model for their "Railroad" range.

Darstaed, a model train company in Great Britain, produced O gauge tintype models of the LMS Fowler Class 3F, affectionately referring to them by the nickname of Jinty [7] Dapol has produced a Jinty for the O gauge market which was released in September 2017 [8]
