<p>It is estimated that the railway in Britain lost 20,000 men during the First World War. Many railway stations in Britain have a memorial to their sacrifice, listing the names of those who worked on the railway but never returned to their jobs when the guns fell silent.</p> <p>To mark the contribution of, and the lives lost by, regiments up and down the East Coast Mainline route during the First World War, East Coast held a ceremony at Newcastle station on 14 October 2014 to unveil 91111 in a special livery scheme created by designer Paul Gentleman with the new name of 'For the Fallen'. The nameplate of the locomotive bears the crests of regiments local to the East Coast route and 91111's livery depicts soldiers, artefacts and tributes commemorating the contribution they made to the war effort.</p> <h4>Includes</h4> <ul> <li>1x Electric Locomotive</li> </ul> <h4>Technical Specifications</h4> <ul> <li>Colour: Red</li> <li>DCC status: DCC Ready 8 pin socket</li> <li>Finish: Painted</li> <li>Gauge: OO</li> <li>Livery: For the Fallen</li> <li>Minimum radius curve: 2nd Radius (438mm)</li> <li>Motor: 5 pole skew wound</li> <li>Name: For the Fallen</li> <li>Power pickup: All wheels</li> <li>Coupling: NEM / Tension lock</li> <li>Class: Class 91</li> <li>Operator: Virgin Trains</li> <li>Wheel arrangement: Bo-Bo</li> <li>Designer: GEC/BREL</li> </ul>

Step back in time and experience the raw, industrial grit of British rail with the magnificent Hornby Dublo Deltic – a legendary piece of model engineering history reborn! Originally conceived as a cutting-edge diesel engine for the Royal Navy’s “Dark” class ships in 1954, the Deltic’s story is one of innovation, near-disaster, and ultimately, enduring fascination. This isn’t just a model; it’s a tangible link to a pivotal moment in locomotive design. The DP1, affectionately nicknamed “DELTIC” by the brilliant minds at English Electric, was a bold experiment in streamlining – a daring attempt to create a taller, more efficient diesel. Notice the distinctive cream lines – far more than mere paint, they were strategically placed aluminum beams designed to stabilize the incredibly sleek profile! Witness the drama! In 1960, a catastrophic oil leak threatened to bring this pioneering engine to a grinding halt. Thankfully, the lessons learned fueled the creation of the iconic Class 55 “Deltics,” but this DP1, preserved in its striking baby blue and cream livery, remains a poignant reminder of the risks taken in the pursuit of engineering excellence. Now, meticulously recreated for the 21st century, this Hornby Dublo Deltic boasts a robust diecast body, a modern 21-pin DCC decoder socket for seamless digital operation, and a powerful 5-pole skew-wound motor with dual flywheels and dual bogie drive – delivering authentic performance and captivating detail.
