During the Second World War the British army had a need for a small tank engine. With specific requirements in mind the design chosen was an update of a standard Hunslet industrial locomotive. It was a short wheelbase powerful 0-6-0 saddle tank well suited to the task in hand, able to deal with heavy trains on rough or steeply curved track.

Our model faithfully represents its full-size counterpart in 5" gauge. It has the same attributes, being capable of pulling 4 to 6 adults and will negotiate curves down to 8ft radius. It is the latest in a series of 0-6-0 designs built over the last decade to a well proven design. Maxitrak with over 40 years’ experience in garden railway modelling are producing this J94 in conjunction with Accucraft & Aster to give you a top quality kit to build at home.
