R30420Hornby Dublo - BR - English Electric DP1 - 'Deltic' NRM Preserved
The prototype English Electric 3,000hp diesel electric, ‘Deltic’ emerged from Dick, Kerr & Co. Works in Preston in 1955, as a demonstrator. Fitted with two Napier Deltic engines, it appeared in a head-turning powder blue livery with cream nose whiskers below an American-style headlight cowling. Such was the locomotive’s success, British Railways ordered 22 production models for use on its East Coast Main Line express services.
R30510Stephenson’s Rocket
For the first time, Stephenson's Rocket is presented as a solo locomotive, with a sleek yellow livery. This highly detailed, diminutive locomotive model is a must-have model for steam collectors, due to its historical importance and incredible model engineering.
This historically important locomotive was built in 1829 to participate in the Rainhill Trials, a competition set-up by the promoters of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway to find suitable motive power for its opening the following year.
Built to the order of his father George (who was the L&MR’s principal engineer at the time), ‘Rocket’ was designed by Robert Stephenson and built at his Forth Street Works in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
The design was the most advanced in its day and ‘Rocket’ won the Trials. The locomotive then became one of four that took part in the L&MR’s opening parade in September 1830.
