Hornby R144 BR ex LNER Class A4 Pacific Dominion of Canada
This highly collectable and very rare model is the extremely hard to get hold of Hornby R144 model of the BR LNER Class A4 steam locomotive ‘Dominion of Canada’. It is in factory fresh unused mint condition. This rarely available 4-6-2 locomotive is finished in BR green livery and with the correct black spoked wheels, it is absolutely stunning. Only available for a 1-year period in 1994/5 and never released, this item was constructed in the modern manner. This locomotive, numbered 60010, 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, brass safety valves and red boiler bands are just 3 of the instantly recognizable features of this item and the model is just a beautifully made evocative model. The 8-wheel corridor tender is in just as mint condition and is clearly marked as with the BR icon. 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 with only minimal storage markings. The right hand box end flap has the original yellow label still sealed across it and this has the correct model number and description. Inside the box, an undamaged, clear sculptured surround protects the locomotive. The still sealed packet that contains the driver & fireman figurines and remains with this model. Finally, the original Hornby instructions sheet numbered R144090994 also remains with this model and as this locomotive is the first one of these we have had for ages, please don’t miss it.
This item predates modern 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 ).
