The LNER Gresley A4 is one of the most iconic express locomotives in Great Britain, with its streamlined casing a classic symbol of the attitude towards speed and design in the 1930s, which saw increased competition to the railways from road and air travel. The LNER Board knew they had to make travel between the major cities faster, more comfortable and more reliable.
After a long service life, the locomotive was withdrawn on the 29th May 1965, becoming one of six A4 locomotives to be preserved. The locomotive is preserved in the Canadian Railway Museum where it is fitted with its unique Canadian Pacific Railroad bell. The locomotive returned to the UK for two years as part of the Great Gathering celebrations and has since been shipped back to Canada where it remains preserved.
Hornby Dublo A4 models feature a diecast body, just as
their original Hornby Dublo counterparts would have seen. This is
coupled with enchanted decoration which when paired with the diecast of
the boiler provides a realistic finish to the body. The models contain a
5 pole motor with flywheel and are DCC ready with an 8 pin socket.
