to a BR Standard design since the commencement of its construction follows that of 72010 Hengist. Unlike a number of other "new-build" projects the group building 82045 will equip the locomotive with a traditional riveted boiler complete with copper firebox. The 16-spoke driving wheels from BR standard class 4 2-6-0 No.76080 – which was broken up at Barry scrapyard in the early 1972 – which are stored at Eardington Halt, were to have been used for the new build. However, the subsequent discovery that the BR standard class 3s were fitted with 17-spoke wheels of the same diameter has led to the decision that these will not be used. The Engine House management has agreed for the wheelset from 76080 to become an external exhibit there. The 82045 Locomotive Trust believes that significant costs will be avoided as many of the required cast parts can be made from patterns held by fellow members of the British Railways Standard Locomotive Owners Group (BRSLOG) including the pattern for the Pony Truck Wheels. Models Tri-ang produced an OO Gauge model of the locomotive in BR Green and BR Black although this was by modern standard under-detailed being produced in the 1960s, but Bachmann announced a brand new OO gauge model in February 2009. An N gauge version has also been released by Bachmann under their Graham Farish brand.
