Hornby Dublo Class A4 4-6-2 LNER No.2509 'Silver Link' (90th Anniversary Collection) Steam Locomotive
"Marking 90 years since its record-breaking debut, the Hornby Dublo LNER Class A4 2509 'Silver Link' joins the 90th Anniversary Collection — a fitting addition to any railway enthusiast’s layout. Expertly designed, the chassis and body of this impressive model is manufactured out of diecast metal and is fitted with a 5 pole skew wound motor for superior traction and pulling power. The model has a flickering firebox and is DCC Ready with a 21-pin socket, allowing easy conversion for digital control. Supplied complete with an accessories pack including driver and fireman figures, this Hornby Dublo model combines heritage charm with modern features — the perfect way to relive the golden age of steam.
The first member of the ‘A4’ Class to enter service in September 1935, the locomotive worked on the prestigious ‘Silver Jubilee’ trains between London King’s Cross and Newcastle. It was repainted in LNER Garter Blue in December 1937, but that was short-lived, as ‘A4s’ were painted plain black during the Second World War, and at the same time had their side skirting removed, though the blue livery was reapplied after the war. Renumbered 14 in June 1946, then 60014 under BR, the locomotive finished its career where it had started, allocated to King’s Cross ‘Top Shed’ in 1950, from where it was withdrawn in December 1962."
