New from ‘Twilight Trains’ is a HORNBY Limited edition, 1 of only 25 commissioned, LNER A4 ‘BITTERN, edition numbers 6-25

This is the china-made, Loco-drive, Dcc Ready, A4 locomotive.

 

This presentation marks a new step in producing the latest code 3 model for the avid collector.

As Hornby have yet to produce a single chimney A4 loco in Garter Blue, circa 1938, We decided to explore the possibility ourselves. With the bodyshell modification undertaken by DAB Plastics late in 2007, we found that the perfect donor locomotive could be obtained. The Bodyshell was then renamed & numbered. Finished as LNER number 4464 running in Garter blue and named ‘BITTERN’ using etched brass nameplates .The loco comes with a signed, numbered Certificate of Authenticity as proof of alteration, detailed inner sleeve, and instructions. This us a limited edition run of 25. Only 15  of these loco’s are released as a single issue.

This is an exceptionally well presented piece of artwork, combined with the super detail of the china made loco drive Hornby A4 (R2339); it makes this loco highly collectable.

 

 

The donor engine is the 2008 edition of ‘MALLARD’ 4468 (R2339) plus Hornby single chimney.

Bodywork reengineering and modification by DAB Plastics, Essex.
