Hornby OO LNER Flying Scotsman & GWR -Pendennis Castle

Hornby R30465 LNER Flying Scotsman & BR Pendennis Castle in Australia Twin pack Product Description In 1988 Australia celebrated its bicentenary and to mark the occasion the world-famous 'Flying Scotsman' was invited to travel from Britain to take part in a series of railtours that were part of the 'Aus Steam 88' Festival arriving in October that year. Already resident in Western Australia since 1977 in the care of the Pilbara Railway Historical Society former GWR 'Castle' Class 4-6-0 'Pendennis Castle' was moved by road to Perth in early 1989 to operate alongside its one-time rival 'A3' Class 'Pacific'. This unlikely reunion occurred almost 9000 miles from where a week-long locomotive exchange once took place between the LNER and GWR in April 1925. This LNER and GWR Train Pack celebrates that landmark event in Australia 37 years ago in 1989. Featuring OO gauge locomotive model replicas of 'Flying Scotsman' and 'Pendennis Castle' these highly detailed designs include sprung metal buffers and NEM tension lock couplings for smooth rake creation. Add a 21-pin decoder to upgrade to HM7000 control. Safety Warning Detailed scale model. Not suitable for children under 14 years. Please refer to safety notes in enclosed instruction leaflet.
