Hornby Dublo R30457 LNER Class A4 4-6-2 2510 Quicksilver 90th Anniversary
‘Quicksilver’ entered service in September 1935, allocated to London’s King’s Cross shed. LNER Garter Blue was applied in May 1938 and in October 1943 was painted plain black under Second World War austerity measures. Like other members of the class, it was returned to the striking blue livery, in October 1947, carrying the new LNER number 15. This was changed to 60015 after nationalisation in 1948, and the locomotive was painted into a new BR blue livery with black and white lining. A double chimney was added in August 1957 and the by now BR green ‘Pacific’ was withdrawn from ‘Top Shed’ in April 1963.
