Hornby R3960 – GWR Terrier Train Pack. The London, Brighton and South Coast Railway (LB&SCR) A1 Class 0-6-0T locomotive was designed by William Stroudley. A total of 50 locomotives were built between 1872 and 1880. Initially, the Class were designed to haul commuter trains on the heavily congested lines in South and South-East London, as well as operating through the Marc Isambard Brunel designed Thames Tunnel. The LB&SCR later introduced larger and more capable D Class locomotives which began being used for most of the company’s commuter trains. Between 1911 and 1913 twelve of the A1s that had remained at the LB&SCR were rebuilt with new boilers and extended smoke boxes to become the A1X Class along with a further four after the First World War. Weight restrictions on many of the light railways inherited by the Southern Railway necessitated that the light A1 Class locomotives remain in service despite their old age. One A1 locomotive and 14 A1X locomotives remained in service long enough to enter into British Railway stock. The Class remained in service until many of the lines they operated on were eventually closed. The last of these was the line to Hayling Island which was scheduled for closure in November 1963. With the impending closure of the line, BR decided to withdraw the Class from service. At the time of her withdrawal, No. 32636 was the oldest working steam engine in British Railways ownership. The final operational A1X with BR was No. 32678, which remained in service until August 1963. 43’Gipsyhill’ entered service in June 1877. The locomotive remained in service with GWR and later BR until January 1950 before being scrapped in Swindon in March 1954. GWR Train Pack contains: Terrier 43, 4W Full Brake, 4W Brake/3rd and 4W 4 Door. The LB&SCR later introduced larger and more capable D Class locomotives which began being uséd for most of the company’s commuter trains. Sorry, our items are NOT available for pick-up.
