Why this kit matters
The LNER Class A4, designed by Sir Nigel Gresley, is one of the most celebrated steam locomotive classes ever built. No. 2511 Silver King was one of the original four A4s introduced in 1935, featuring the striking silver-grey livery used to promote the Silver Jubilee service between London and Newcastle.
This 90th Anniversary Collection model honours both the engineering brilliance of the A4 Pacifics and Hornby Dublo’s enduring place in British railway modelling history.
How to use it
Place the locomotive and tender on OO gauge track and pair it with streamlined LNER coaches for an authentic 1930s express train. Fit a DCC decoder if desired for digital control, or run on analogue DC layouts straight from the box.
This is a detailed scale model intended for collectors and hobbyists. It is not a toy.
