Description

A vintage Tri-ang Hornby R52 OO gauge model steam locomotive, representing the versatile LMS Fowler Class 3F, commonly known as a Jinty. This 0-6-0 tank engine is constructed with a black injection-moulded plastic body mounted on a metal chassis with silver-toned side rods. The model is finished in a British Railways black livery featuring red and white lining. It bears the running number 47606 on the cab and bunker sides, while the water tanks are adorned with the early British Railways Lion and Wheel emblem. This model was a staple of the Tri-ang and Hornby Railways catalogues during the mid-20th century. The locomotive is presented on a short section of vintage two-rail track. Length: approximately 115mm.
