Hornby Dublo R30456 LNER Class A4 4-6-2 2509 Silver Link 90th Anniversary
The first member of the ‘A4’ Class to enter service in September 1935, the locomotive worked on the prestigious ‘Silver Jubilee’ trains between London King’s Cross and Newcastle. It was repainted in LNER Garter Blue in December 1937, but that was short-lived, as ‘A4s’ were painted plain black during the Second World War, and at the same time had their side skirting removed, though the blue livery was reapplied after the war. Renumbered 14 in June 1946, then 60014 under BR, the locomotive finished its career where it had started, allocated to King’s Cross ‘Top Shed’ in 1950, from where it was withdrawn in December 1962.
