Hornby R372 LNER Pacific Class A4 Seagull steam tender locomotive
This highly collectable model is the extremely hard to get hold of Hornby R372 model of the LNER Pacific A4 class ‘SEAGULL’. The model is in mint factory fresh condition and has been shelf stored since new. It has never seen or been on a layout and has only been test run for demonstration purposes. This rarely available 4-6-2 locomotive is finished in LNER blue livery with the correct, red spoked, colour coded wheels. It is absolutely stunning. Only available for a 2-year period in 1981/2, this item was constructed in the modern manner. This locomotive, numbered 4902, is just as good as the day it was first made and it would be impossible to obtain a better condition item. We removed the model from the box for the digital scan and the model has all detailing exactly as it should be. Wired handrails, double chimney and brass cab detailing are just 3 of the instantly recognizable features of this item and the model is just a beautifully made evocative item. The 8-wheel corridor tender is in just as mint condition and is clearly marked LNER. It houses the motor and is fitted at the rear with the correct Hornby tension lock coupling. The original box is in a bright, sharp, unfaded and correctly labelled condition. The right hand box end flap has the original yellow label with the correct model number and description and inside the box; a white undamaged, two-part moulded polystyrene surround protects the locomotive. Inside the box, the unmarked full colour graphics card remains with the item as does the original operating instructions numbered R372050881 and the separate Zero 1 instructions sheet. This item is just as complete as you could ever hope to obtain.
This item predates digital control but should be an easy conversion to be DCC ready with the correct Hornby chip.
As all of our items are collectables and may have been stored for a long time, we would recommend that if the model is to be run, a light lubrication and dust removal would be appropriate ( where applicable ).
