Hornby OO GWR 6002 King William IV King Class 4-6-0 British Stamps Series (R3074)

When railway tracks were first laid in Great Britain and trains began operating to a timetable the Royal Mail were one of the first to take advantage of this new mode of transport, using the trains to pick up and deliver post to all areas of the country, it is therefore fitting that the Royal Mail have produced a series of stamps celebrating some of the famous classes of steam locomotives that have operated on the British Isles.

In conjunction with the Royal Mail, Hornby have produced a series of Limited Edition models to coincide with the individual subjects of the stamps. Included in each of the specially produced presentation packs will be not only the relevant model but also a special Royal Mail cover envelope complete with stamp, the subject matter of which corresponds with the model. Each pack will also include a limited edition certificate. Limited to just 1200 pieces these exclusive models are sure to become a sort after collectors item.

This model of 6002 King William IV is finished in the GWRs locomotive green livery with Great western lettering, as carried in the 1920s and early 1930s.
The locomotive model will be supplied with a Royal Mail cover envelope bearing the King stamp and a limited edition certificate.

Hornby OO GWR 1006 County of Cornwall Hawksworth Tender GWR Green (R2937)

The final development of G J Churchwards' 4-6-0 design family the 1000 class County developed the 2-cylinder design with a higher boiler pressure and slightly smaller diameter driving wheels. The County class did excellent work on heavy express trains over challenging routes.

Although part of the Hornby Railroad range this model was one of the first well-detailed models and, while lacking the fine detailing now found on new models, still stands alongside them. This model of 1006 County of Cornwall is painted in the post WW2 GWR Hawksworth era livery with a slab-sided Hawksworth tender.

Hornby OO BR 1444 Class 14xx 0-4-2T Lined Green Early Emblem (R3027)

A 1930s design branchline tank engine the GWRs 14xx class were efficient and ecconomical engines able to haul the short trains needed on many branch lines. The class has long been popular with enthusiasts and modellers as they are ideal and prototypical locomotives for the compact branch stations which fit easily into the modellers home.

1444 will be finished in the BR lined green passenger livery, proudly carried by a number of these locomotives, with the early lion over wheel emblem.

Built in 1905 number 2818 served the GWR and BR in heavy freight service until 1963. The locomotive was selected for preservation as it still retained the original Churchward cylinder block with internal steam pipes. Initially the locomotive was in the care of the City of Bristol and was displayed during in the 1973 Bristol 600 celebrations. In 1975 the former York locomotive shed opened as the new National Railway Museum and 2818 tooks a place in the roundhouse. G J Churchward introduced a number of improvements and standardisation in motive power, crafting the first modern steam locomotive fleet in Britain. 2818 represents this huge step forward in the development of the steam locomotive.

This model of ex-GWR 2800 class 2-8-0 will be finished in a weathered version of the later BR black livery. These heavy freight engines seldom saw cleaning in the BR era, so this dirtier appearance is far more typical of the period, though possibly still far too clean for a hard-working engine.

Bachmann OO BR ex-GWR 30xx Class Robinson ROD 2-8-0 Black Early Emblem (31-127)

During the later stages of WW1 these Robinson 2-8-0 locomotives were being built for the War Department, intended for service on military trains. Many were never issued and were offered for sale to the British railway companies (at a very good price aparantly) after the armistice.

The GWR purchased in total 100 of these ROD locomotives, some stored from new and some which the company was already using. In the long term 50 locomotives in the best condition were overhauled and equiped with standard GWR fittings, giving many years of service with the last withdrawn about 1957. The remaining locomotives provided a good pool of spares and tenders which were used with several other classes, including the 2251 Collett Goods.

Bachmann have designed their tooling for the ROD locomotives to allow for the GWR boiler fittings, including Swindon-pattern chimney, safety valve cover and top feed. This replicates the major and externally visible alterations made to the 'stock' locomotive by the GWR. This model will be finished in the BR black with early lion over wheel emblem.

Bachmann OO BR 9022 Dukedog Class 4-4-0 Black Early Emblem Weathered Finish (31-085)

New model announced for 2012. Delivery to be advised.

The GWRs Dukedog class was created in the 1930s in response to the need for new locomotives with a axle load lower than the Churchward designed 2-6-0 and 4-6-0 types, which were too heavy for several important secondary routes, especially the former Cambrian routes into mid-Wales. The Dukedog combined the double frame chassis of a Bulldog class locomotive fitted with the lighter weight boiler and cab from a Duke class engine. The result was quite out of place in the Swindon family, outside frames and boiler domes were features discarded around 20 years previously, but the dome did give the locomotives a quite distinguished look and it was intended that the class carry the names of Earls. However the gentlemen concerned quickly took exception to their titles being carried by such antiquated locomotives.

In service the Dukedogs proved capable engines provided the work did not demand too much of the boiler, which had little reserve steaming capacity. On the Cambrian section and other holiday branchlines the locomotives were often hauling express trains over routes where the heavier Halls or Castles which brought the trains from Paddington could not go.
This makes the Dukedog an excellent choice of 'large' engine for any GWR branchline model railway.

9022 will be painted in the BR standard mixed traffic black livery with early emblem. The model is finished with a weathered appearance, giving it the look of a steam engine in BR service.

A revised version of the Hornby 4-4-0 County class locomotive model announced as part of the Railroad range, now featuring a locomotive-mounted drive mechanism. This model of an express locomotive from the Edwardian era recalls the time when rail travel to the holiday resorts of the English riviera was coming within the reach of the working classes.

Hornby OO BR 7029 Clun Castle Class 4-6-0 Late Crest with DCC Sound System (R2994XS)

In 1965 7029 Clun Castle worked the last official steam hauled train to leave the GWRs' Paddington station. Clun went on to be the star of the end of GWR steam, hauling many 'end of steam' railtours and fittingly entered preservation.
In the 1960s Clun Castle was a Gloucester engine, a shed that kept its' Castles in superb condition. She entered preservation looking like she was fresh from Swindon works and, after the final end of BR steam has remained active hauling mainline tours and on heritage railways. Returning to the mainline in the 1980s Clun Castle played a major role in the GWR 150 celebrations.

Hornby have chosen to model 7029 in the later BR lined green livery, as she carried while working from Gloucester in the 1960s and in preservation. The addition of a sound system will really make this a special model of a very special Castle. A standard bearer for GWR locomotives which is familiar to generations of steam enthusiasts.
