Hornby Mallard Record Breaker Train Set

Few locomotives carry the same railway heritage as the LNER A4 ‘Mallard’, which set the world speed record for a steam engine at 126 mph on 3 July 1938 at Stoke Bank, south of Grantham. Hornby’s Mallard Record Breaker Train Set captures that enduring appeal, presenting ‘Mallard’ as it would have appeared in the early 1950s, after nationalisation, when it continued hauling express passenger services along the East Coast Mainline.

Finished in BR Blue livery with a painted blue exterior, this 00 gauge set is produced to 1:76 scale and is DCC ready via an 8-pin socket. The locomotive is specified with a 4-6-2 wheel configuration, a 3-pole motor, and a minimum curve requirement of Radius 3, making it a considered choice for modellers building a period-correct BR-era layout.
