Offering a superb NEW 00 gauge locomotive especially developed by “Hornby Model Railways” as part of a recent series. This A3 Pacific in LNER Green no. 108 is complete in every respect, includes factory packaging, instructions, service sheet and original outer picture sleeve.
The Class A3 (4472 Flying Scotsman) was a Pacific steam locomotive built in 1923 for the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) at Doncaster Works to a design of Nigel Gresley. It was employed on long-distance express East Coast Main Line trains by the LNER and its successors, British Railways Eastern and North-Eastern Regions, notably on the London to Edinburgh Flying Scotsman train service after which it was named.
The locomotive set two world records for steam traction and became the first steam locomotive to be officially authenticated at reaching 100 miles per hour (160.9 km/h) on 30 November 1934.
