Why this kit matters

Introduced in 1937, the LMS Princess Coronation Class represented the pinnacle of Sir William Stanier’s steam locomotive development. These magnificent Pacifics hauled the railway’s most prestigious services, including the Royal Scot and Coronation Scot, and were among the most powerful express locomotives in Britain.

No. 46230 Duchess of Buccleuch served under both LMS and British Railways and remains one of the best-known members of the class. Its elegant proportions and outstanding performance make it a favourite among collectors and railway historians.

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 BR or LMS maroon coaches for authentic post-war express passenger formations.

This is a detailed scale model intended for collectors. It is not a toy and is recommended for ages 14 and above.
