Again Class 50 fans will not be disappointed. The model features sprung buffers, with ladders, scale couplings plus a small version of the Hornby working coupling, fine louvre detail and an excellent paint job. 50 018 is finished in BR Blue as an unrefurbished example.

Construction of the Class 50's, by the English Electric company at Vulcan Foundry, Newton Le Willows took place between February 1966 and October 1967. Used initially on the West Coast main line north from Crewe to Glasgow and Edinburgh, they often ran double headed to make the most of their 100 mph capability. They were an impressive sight `hoovering' up Shap with a heavy train.
