Here's a captivating product description designed to entice potential buyers, leaning into a narrative and using evocative language: “Step back in time and experience the majesty of British rail with this meticulously crafted scale model of the iconic Gresley A3 ‘Super Pacific.’ Originally conceived as the A1, the legendary ‘Felstead 2743’ was a remarkable locomotive, but its potential was immediately recognized. A bold transformation – a larger boiler, enhanced cylinders, and a crucial switch to left-hand drive – demanded a complete reclassification, ushering in the era of the ‘Super Pacific.’ Just 27 of these magnificent machines were built from the outset as A3s, while existing A1s underwent a dramatic conversion before 1950, culminating in the final transformation of BR numbered 60068, ‘Sir Visto.’ This particular model represents 2595 ‘Trigo,’ a truly exceptional example that never knew the limitations of its A1 origins, proudly sporting the number 84 before settling into its permanent BR green livery and enduring number 60084. ‘Trigo’’s journey reflects the grandeur of British Railways, ultimately meeting a fitting end in November 1964. This detailed 1:120 scale model captures every nuance of this powerful 4-6-2 locomotive, featuring a 3-pole motor, TT gauge, and a DCC-ready NEM 662 socket for seamless operation. Designed by the brilliant Sir Nigel Gresley himself, it’s a miniature masterpiece ready to grace your railway layout. Own a piece of rail history – a testament to innovation and enduring British engineering. Scale Dimensions: 19.1cm (Length) x 3.7cm (Height) x 2.5cm (Width) & Weight: 0.15kg.”

<p>The story of the Princess Coronation Class is one of split personalities and purposes. The original streamlined form of the class arose from tests on Stanier's development of the Princess Royal class locomotives. When the opportunity to produce five conventional versions of the Coronation Pacific as a comparison to the streamlined version arose, Stanier was quoted as saying, 'They can have their streamliners if they b***** want them, but we will also build them five proper ones' such was his lack of interest in a streamlined locomotive specifically.Those first five conventional locomotives were 6230 Duchess of Buccleuch to 6234 Duchess of Abercorn, colloquially known as Duchesses, after the first of this sub-class. Appearing in 1938 with a single chimney and without smoke deflectors, many purists regard these as the finest Pacific locomotives ever produced. The next four Duchesses to appear were 6249-6252 in 1944 and they emerged from works with a double chimney.Originally ordered as streamlined, the demands of maintaining the streamlined form exceeded the cost savings in coal and so they emerged from works without the casing, but with streamlined tenders (which had been completed before that decision was taken). In 1946 the next three Duchesses, 6253-6255, differed in appearance again, this time the curved fall plate at the front was replaced by a split platform and smoke deflectors were fitted.The process of de-streamlining the remaining engines began with 6235 City of Birmingham in April 1946, with 6243 City of Lancaster being the last in May 1949. Locomotives that had streamlining removed had a distinctive slant to the leading edge of the top of the smokebox, where this was previously hidden by the panels and designed to accommodate them. Eventually the raked smokeboxes were replaced with conventional smokeboxes, so that by late 1958 the majority of the fleet showed a similar appearance for the first time.Duchess of Montrose entered service in 1938 in the LMS’ well known Crimson Lake livery being numbered 6232. It would wear this livery and number for the entire time it would serve with the LMS before being adopted into BR as 46232 in 1947. Under BR Duchess of Montrose would wear three different liveries, before being scrapped in November of 1963 at Crewe.</p> <h3>Specification</h3> <ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 19.7</li> <li>Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 3.7</li> <li>Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 2.5</li> <li>Item Weight - Without Packaging: 0.16</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:120 Scale</li> <li>Finish: Painted</li> <li>Colour: Green</li> <li>Gauge : TT</li> <li>DCC Status: HM7000 Fitted - With Sound</li> <li>Operator: British Railway</li> <li>Designer:Sir William Stanier</li> <li>Wheel Configuration: 4-6-2</li> <li>Livery:BR Green</li> <li>Minimum Curve (mm): Radius 2</li> <li>Motor: 5 Pole Skew wound</li> <li>Number of Parts: 1</li> <li>Class: Princess Coronation Class</li> </ul>
