Класс грузовых паровозов
Class of steam freight locomotives
Паровоз класса 4F Фаулера (LMS) – это класс паровозов типа 0-6-0, разработанный для средних грузовых перевозок. Они являются вершиной развития шестисцепных тендерных локомотивов Мидлендской железной дороги. Многие любители поездов знали их как "Утки-шестерки", прозвище, возникшее из-за их компоновки осей.
The London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Fowler Class 4F is a class of 0 6 0 steam locomotive designed for medium freight work. They represent the ultimate development of Midland Railway's six coupled tender engines. Many trainspotters knew them as "Duck Sixes", a nickname derived from their wheel arrangement.
Предыстория
4F был основан на 197-сильном локомотиве Midland Railway класса 3835 1911 года, с лишь несколькими модификациями, главным образом, переходом на левостороннее управление вместо правостороннего. Изначально они были спроектированы Генри Фаулером, который с 1925 года стал главным инженером (CME) LMS. Локомотивы Midland Railway печально славились своими короткими подшипниковыми коробками, склонными к перегреву. Эта конструктивная особенность сохранилась и в LMS 4F. Проблема была окончательно решена установкой механических смазчиков.
The 4F was based on the 197 strong Midland Railway 3835 Class of 1911, with only a few modifications, primarily the adoption of left hand drive instead of right hand drive. They originally had been designed by Henry Fowler, who from 1925 became CME of the LMS. Midland Railway locomotives were notorious for their short axle box bearings, which were prone to overheating. This design feature was perpetuated in the LMS 4F. The problem was eventually solved with the fitting of mechanical lubricators.
Строительство
LMS построила 530 локомотивов в период с 1923 по 1928 год, номера которых шли последовательно, начиная с номера 4027, следующего за последним номером локомотивов Midland Railway. В 1937 году Уильям Станиер неохотно санкционировал постройку еще 45 экземпляров по настоянию эксплуатационного отдела.
The LMS constructed 530 of the locomotives between 1923 and 1928, numbered sequentially from where the Midland engines left off from 4027. A further 45 examples were reluctantly authorised by William Stanier in 1937 at the behest of the operating department. +Construction table LMS nos. BR nos.

Модели
Модели 4F были созданы Lima (O, HO и N Gauge) и Graham Farish (N Gauge, до сих пор выпускаемые под маркой Bachmann). Airfix выпустил модель 4F с тендерным приводом в калибре OO в 1978 году. Производство этой модели было продолжено компанией Dapol после приобретения модельного ряда Airfix в 1985 году, а затем продано Hornby в конце 1990-х годов. В 2012 году модель была модернизирована до локомотивного привода. Bachmann выпускает версию 4F, представляющую собой вариант Midland Railway, с 2012 года.
The 4F has been modelled by Lima (O, HO and N Gauge) and Graham Farish (N Gauge, still produced under the Bachmann label). Airfix produced a tender drive model of the 4F in OO Gauge in 1978. Production of this was continued by Dapol after it acquired Airfix models in 1985, and were subsequently sold to Hornby in the late 1990s. They upgraded the model to loco drive in 2012. Bachmann have produced a version of the Midland railway variant of the 4F since 2012.
