Why this kit matters
Introduced in 1941, the Merchant Navy Class was Oliver Bulleid’s flagship express passenger design for the Southern Railway. These powerful locomotives were named after leading shipping companies that supported Britain during wartime and post-war commerce. No. 35015 Rotterdam Lloyd commemorates the Dutch shipping line that maintained vital links between Europe and the wider world.
Merchant Navy locomotives were among the most advanced British steam engines of their era, featuring innovative engineering and exceptional performance on premier services such as the Bournemouth Belle and Atlantic Coast Express.
How to use it
Place the locomotive and tender on powered OO gauge track and operate using your DC or DCC control system if fitted. Pair it with Southern Railway or British Railways coaching stock for realistic express passenger formations.
