Product Description
-------------------
The R3395TTS is a digital locomotive which needs to be run on a
digital track with digital controller. Stunning locomotives to
bring your miniature world to life. Hornby’s stunning model
locomotives span The golden age of steam right up to the latest
Intercity trains. So wherever and whenever your model railway is
set, there is a wide choice of engines, all in the correct livery
and with appropriate rolling stock available. Our locomotives
come with traditional analogue control through to the latest
digital, dcc-fitted and dcc-ready locomotives. Whichever you
choose, you are guaranteed beautiful, detailed models for any
oo-gauge electric layout. The 1930s saw increased competition to
the railways from road and air travel and the LNER Board knew
that they had to make travel between the major cities faster,
more comfortable and reliable. High speed diesel services were
starting to make an impact abroad. In May 1933, the German State
Railways diesel-electric Fliegende Hamburger entered service,
running for extended periods at 85mph. By 1934, in the USA,
Burlington Zephyr had reached I I 2.5mph during a longer 1,015
mile journey. Nigel Gresley, the LNER's Chief Mechanical Officer,
travelled on the Fliegende Hamburger and was impressed by its
streamlining, although he realized it was only efficient at high
speeds. Gresley was certain that a modified A3 Pacific, with
streamlining, could haul greater loads than the German or US
locomotives at the same speed or even faster. A series of trials
were conducted to confirm the Al's suitability. With the trials
successfully completed, the LNER Board gave Gresley the go-ahead
to create the 'Silver Jubilee' streamlined trains, the first of
the new streamlined A4s. The streamlining of the A4s' steam
circuit, higher boiler pressure and the extension of the firebox
to create a combustion chamber, made them more efficient than the
A3 as they consumed less coal and water, especially later on when
they were also fitted with a Kylchap double chimney, improving
their free steaming capabilities further. Their streamlined
design not only made them capable of high speeds, but created an
up draught of smoke, preventing obscuring the driver's vision
that was such a major problem on the Class A4 engines. As part of
the LNER, A4 Era-3 Class, the 4-6-2, 4468 'Mallard' 9 is amongst
a number of historic locomotives that is a fantastic addition to
any train enthusiasts' collection. The 1930s saw increased
