Hornby R30341 70th Westwood, 0-4-0, 25550, 1954-2024 - Limited Edition

 

In the 1970s, a decade after the three popular 0-4-0 industrial tank locomotives were released and after some company changes, Hornby Railways released another 0-4-0 industrial tank locomotive model with the running number of 25550 and an R number of R455. This locomotive was painted in a scarlet red livery with the legend of '25550' emblazoned on the side of the model. The design for the locomotive appears to have been based on a Class C14 which was intended for suburban passenger traffic around the city of London and was designed by Dugald Drummond for the London & South Western Railway in 1906.

Celebrate the 70th anniversary of Hornby in Margate with a reproduction of the 0-4-0 industrial tank locomotive, 25550, in a scarlet red livery with the running number adorned on the side of the model. This model will be perfect for any Hornby history enthusiasts.
