Hornby R30403 BR Saint Class David 2920 Loco Steam Model Scale 1:76 Gauge. Of the 77 Saint Class members built by GWR between 1902 and 1913, 2920’Saint David’ was one of the 47 that survived beyond nationalisation of Britain’s railways in 1948. Part of the third batch of 20 to be built in 1907, the locomotive was new to Cardiff Canton shed. It underwent several changes during its career, including the fitting of a superheated boiler in 1909 and outside steam pipes in December 1932. This model is presented in BR livery, the condition in which it operated through to its withdrawal in October 1953, by which point it was one of the last four still in service. We developed this with the helpful guidance from the Didcot Railway Center who kindly gave us access to their archive of drawings and access to the Lady of Legend locomotive. The Saint class model features a powerful 5 pole skew wound motor and flickering firebox, and is designed to be fully compatible with the HM7000 21-Pin decoder for full DCC and sound control.
