| > OO Live Steam | No smoke units or special effects - this is real Live Steam, brought to you for the first time commercially in ‘00’ gauge by Hornby. Such a revolutionary model has never been seen in so much detail, but thanks to the latest technology from Hornby, these nostalgic memories of real steam engines can be replicated with your own model.
In the locomotive’s tender, a small water tank is filled with distilled water, which is then heated by a mini immersion heater located within the tank. A safe, low voltage current is passed along the track by a remote regulator which in turn powers the immersion heater.
After approximately five to ten minutes, the water will be heated sufficiently, and steam will begin to appear from the safety valve located in the locomotive. This will also mean that heated water will be running through the locomotive, ready for it to begin moving.
A few nudges of the speed regulator will send electrical signals, or pulses, to the
locomotive telling it in which direction to go and at what speed. These signals will turn a small motor in the locomotive, which opens the steam valve and releases steam into the locomotive’s pistons, turning the wheels.
After a small amount of practice, the operator can achieve in excess of 20 minutes running from one filling of water. The locomotive also produces realistic steam sounds, from the pumping pistons to a real steam whistle, coupled with the unmistakeable and memorable smells of steam and hot engine oil.
Live Steam is only suitable for adult collectors and not for children under 14 years old. | 
more | Hornby OO LNER Flying Scotsman with Double Tender Live Steam Locomotive (R2566)
An excellent addition to the live steam locomotive range this model of the famous LNER 4472 Flying Scotsman locomotive is equipped with two tenders. The locomotive ran in excursion service with two tenders following the end of regular steam locomotive operation on British Rail, the second tender carried additional water, greatly extending the distance that could be covered between water stops.
2008 was the 40th anniversary of the world famous 'Flying Scotsman' receiving a second tender which at the time allowed the 'Scotsman' to carry a total water load of 11,000 gallons giving it an operating distance of 200 - 250 miles before its tenders needed replenishing. The addition of this extra tender gave the 'Flying Scotsman' a unique presence and provided a dynamic sight when seen heading up a steam special.
To coincide with the 40th anniversary a special Limited Edition production run of the Hornby Live Steam 'Flying Scotsman' model with a double tender was produced. In total, 1,000 models will be produced with each model complete with certificate, water and oil fillers as well as instructions. This model is a unique opportunity to recreate and capture those early days of steam specials when the 'Flying Scotsman' was at that time the only steam locomotive allowed to operate on the main line. Please note, the second tender is not equipped to hold water. more.. | |
