Caledonian Single wheel train
pack
Locomotive No. 123 was built in 1886 by Neilson &
Co for the Caledonian Railway and was one of the locomotives that took
part in The Race to the North in 1888. In the 1920’s No.123 was used
to pull the Directors’ saloon but in 1930 it was returned to ordinary
service and operated until 1935. By that time the locomotive had been
painted in LMS colours and carried the number 14010. After being
withdrawn from service the 4-2-2 wheeled locomotive was repainted in its
original Caledonian livery and was numbered once more 123 and is now
housed at the Glasgow Museum of Transport.The Hornby model was first
introduced in 1963 and over the following years made several appearances
both in the Caledonian Railway blue and later in LMS colours. The Hornby
models final appearance was in 1983 when it carried the LMS colours.
This year sees the Caledonian Railway locomotive
No.123 making a welcome return nearly 45 years after its first
introduction. Where possible and to keep the integrity of the first
Hornby model No. 123, the original body styling has been maintained,
however the chassis and the motor have been upgraded to the level
expected by today’s modeller. Accompanying the Caledonian will be one
brake and two composite coaches which were first produced by Hornby
(then Tri-ang Railways) in1962 and were last available in 1973! This
specially packaged Limited Edition train pack will have a restricted
production run of just 2500 pieces and
each will included a numbered certificate |
