Choose from a 'standard' airbrushed finish or 'deluxe', which adds oil and grease to the rods and buffers as well as additional highlights to the coal tender and pigmented detail to the boiler area. Both 'standard' and 'deluxe' finishes are available on either DCC Ready or DCC Sound models, and both include real coal fitted to the tender.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLocomotive History\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo. 2044 arrived in Manchester in April 1943 and was originally allocated to the LMS at Toton. In July 1943 the locomotive was one of 5 S160s re-assigned to the War Department. Based at Sudbury in Staffordshire, there is a rumour that in August of that year it was in ’specially painted’ colours. A Barnsley fireman recalls that some of the locos were painted khaki or ’drab’. If any S160s appeared in green, 2044 is therefore the most likely candidate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt was returned to the USATC for deployment in September 1944.
