Product Info
The largest of the constituent companies that would become the famous LNER was the GNR, and their Chief Mechanical Engineer naturally adopted the same position in the newly formed company, a man by the name of Herbert Nigel Gresley. As the brains behind the locomotive stock of the GNR, he had commissioned a new high speed passenger locomotive class to serve the GNRs London to York main line. These became the A1 locomotive class, before a subsequent rebuild gave them the designation of the A3 class. One such example of this new and powerful class was named after the 10:00am service between London and Edinburgh, the named Special Scotch Express, or as it was renamed in 1924 the Flying Scotsman.
This Hornby Dublo model features the locomotive as it would have appeared in 1924 at the British Empire Exhibition. The locomotive is finished in a beautiful gloss paint which couples with the diecast boiler to create a finish close to that that could have been seen on the full size locomotive. The model features a strong 5 pole motor, cab detailing including crew figures, a diecast body and is DCC ready.
