Another one of Hornbys' stalwarts, the Jinty type 0-6-0 tank engine was a highly versitile machine. Designed for heavy shunting and trip working these 0-6-0 tank engines were quite capable of running considerable distances with short trains. Several hundred were placed into service, providing the main motive power for many scenic branchlines in the Midlands and Penines.
