New model for 2008. Expected October/November.

Marking 40 years since the end of regular steam traction on British railways, this model of Stanier Black 5 class 4-6-0 45231 represents the members of the class in operation in the last days.

The Stanier designed LMS 'Black 5' type mixed traffic 4-6-0's were among the very last locomotives in service with British railways in 1968. These versatile locomotives were capable of hauling all but the heaviest passenger and goods trains with ease. No. 45231 represents the class in the final days of steam on British Railways bearing the lined black livery with BR heraldic crest.
