This is the 2001 R2179 Hornby model of the LMS London Midland Scottish region Coronation Class 4-6-2 steam locomotive Duchess of Gloucester. It is finished in the LMS crimson livery with gold lettering and matching coach lines. It is factory fitted with the new 5 pole skew wound motor and features factory fitted wired handrails and single chimney. This is a locomotive drive locomotive with additional pick ups on the tender wheels for fine smooth running. The RN is 6225. The model is in its original Hornby box with the polystyrene protective surround, additional front pony bogie for tight radius curves, super detail pack, full length full colour protective display card and original instructions. The models are in mint, unrun, condition and the box is correctly labelled. This rare model just predates DCC but with a little skill, should be an easy conversion with the right Hornby chip.
