The award-winning Graham Farish 4MT Tank returns to the range with this model of No. 80117 which entered service at Whitby in 1954, before moving to Leeds Neville Hill and finally to Scotland where it spent its final three years in traffic. Being one of the younger members of the class, No. 80117 was built with plain coupling rods and water tank vents in the revised position – the vent on the driver’s side having been moved forward to improve visibility from No. 80059 onwards. 
The largest of BR’s standard tank engine designs, the mighty presence of the Standard 4MT Tank is captured by this masterpiece in miniature which boasts a precision moulded bodyshell adorned with all manner of separate parts, from the metal handrails and safety valves to the individual tank filler caps and tool rests. Inside the cab, the moulded back head detail has been decorated to pick out the individual gauges and controls, and flush glazing adds the finishing touch.  
Additional detailing is found on the diecast chassis with pipe runs, brakes, footsteps, sandboxes and metal wire sandpipes all present, along with moulded springs. A powerful coreless motor provides drive to the centre driving wheels and each driving wheel is fitted with separate metal bearings; electrical pick-up comes via all six driving wheels. The leading pony wheelset is sprung for assured track holding, behind which the cylinders and Walschaerts valve gear make an impressive sight, even more so when the locomotive is in motion. The trailing bogie is also sprung, with the bogie frame being an accurately detailed replica of the prototype.
