New from ‘Twilight Trains’ is a HORNBY Limited edition, 1 of only 25 commissioned,

 LNER A4 ‘WILD SWAN’, edition numbers 6-25

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

 

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

At time of writing, Hornby had yet to produce a single chimney A4 loco in Garter Blue, circa 1938, We decided to explore the possibility ourselves. With the bodyshell (chimney,) modification undertaken we found that the perfect donor locomotive could be obtained. The bodyshells were then renamed & numbered and  finished as LNER number 4467 running in Garter blue and named ‘WILD SWAN’ using etched brass nameplates . The finished presentation comes the Hornby Locomotive,  a signed numbered Certificate of Authenticity as proof of alteration, detailed inner sleeve, replacement pony wheels, and instructions.

This is 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 latest Hornby A4 (R2339)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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