It was a classic symbol of the attitude towards speed and design in the 1930s, which saw increased competition to the railways from road and air travel. The LNER Board knew that they had to make travel between the major cities faster, comfortable and more reliable. High speed diesel services were starting to make an impact abroad and in May 1933, the German State Railways diesel-electric Fliegende Hamburger entered service, running for extended periods at 85mph. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBy 1934, in the USA, Burlington Zephyr had reached 112.5mph 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 faster and a series of trials were conducted to confirm the Al's suitability. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWith 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 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. This improved 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. The story goes that during wind tunnel testing, after several unsuccessful efforts to get the smoke to lift clear, a thumbprint was inadvertently left on the clay model just behind the chimney. This succeeded in clearing the smoke and was incorporated into the final design.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIn total, 35 A4s were built in four batches: 2509 - 2512, 4462- 4469, 4482 - 4500 and 4900 - 4903, between 1935 and 1938. They spent their working lives hauling express passenger services from King's Cross to Edinburgh via York and Newcastle. Although the Deltics proved worthy successors of the A4s on East Coast Mainline express services in the late 1950s, other diesel classes were unreliable. The A4s were kept in service until the mid-1960s, the last service under British Rail being the Aberdeen-Glasgow service on September 14, 1966.It was in July 1938 that 'Mallard' was recorded travelling at 126mph at Stoke Bank on the East Coast Mainline, snatching the record from the German railway by a mere 1.5 mph - a record that still stands to this very day. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eProduced under license for SCMG Enterprises Ltd © SCMGE.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hornby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56355604693372,"sku":"R3371","price":134.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/3048\/7164\/files\/210715_20HORNBY_20R4468_1_2222a42a-d4ef-4407-bd55-f7884ae5869d.jpg?v=1786092845"},{"product_id":"r3395tts-hornby-railroad-a4-class-steam-locomotive-4468","title":"R3395TTS Hornby Railroad A4 Class Steam Locomotive 4468","description":"R3395TTS Hornby Railroad A4 Class Steam Locomotive number 4468 named \"\"Mallard\"\" in LNER Garter Blue livery with TTS Sound -

NEM coupling pockets feature at both ends, into which standard OO9 scale couplings are fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMODEL FEATURES:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eBachmann Narrow Gauge OO9 Scale\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eEra 6\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003ePristine Pen-yr-Orsedd Quarry Blue livery\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eNamed ‘Britomart’\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eEtched Name Plates and Works Plates Included\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eNEM Coupling Pockets\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003ePowerful Coreless Motor and Flywheel\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDetailed and decorated cab interior\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eEquipped with a 6 Pin DCC Decoder Socket\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eLength 58mm (over couplings)\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDETAIL VARIATIONS SPECIFIC TO THIS MODEL\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eEarly-type Enclosed Cab with roof modified to suit Ffestiniog Railway loading gauge\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eVacuum-Brakes fitted\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eAngled Frames\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003ePiston Access Holes in front Bufferbeam\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eBackhead Injectors\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eCab-front-mounted Whistle\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eRamsbottom Safety Valves\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eRiveted Water Tank\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eWrap Around Tank Handrail\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eTwin Smokebox-mounted Lubricators\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eLamp Brackets fitted\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eOptional Tool Box\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eBlower supply fitted to right hand side of locomotive\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e‘BRITOMART’ HISTORY (with grateful thanks to The Quarry Hunslet website)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBritomart moved to the Ffestiniog Railway in 1965 after a working life at the Pen-yr-Orsedd Quarry in the Nantlle Vale in North Wales.

The high level of decoration is not reserved only for the cab interior of course, and the model boasts an authentic rendition of the BR Lined Green livery complete with full-colour early emblems. The beautifully crafted livery application is finished with precision printed details like the running number, shed code and builders plaques, whilst etched nameplates are supplied for user-fitting to complete the look of this express locomotive.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWith a powerful three pole motor and a proven drive train, the Branchline Patriot is a surefooted machine that boasts electrical pickups from the driving wheels and tender wheels.

The first two of the 52-strong fleet of Patriots were created in 1930 by notionally rebuilding two LNWR Claughtons; the new locomotives retained the original driving wheels and bogie trucks along with some other parts and for four years they kept the Claughton numbers before being renumbered in 1934.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe other 50 locomotives were essentially built from new, albeit for accounting purposes 40 were classified as rebuilds, and construction was shared between the LMS’s Crewe Works who made the majority, and Derby Works which completed just ten examples.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCommonly known as ‘Baby Scots’ owing to their similarities to the ‘Royal Scot’ locomotives albeit with a smaller boiler, the Patriots saw widespread operation across the principal routes of the LMS and later, BR’s Midland Region. The class gained its name in 1937 when No. 5500 was named ‘Patriot’ as a successor to the original LNWR Claughton remembrance locomotive of the same name. Other members of the class were given names of regiments or had military connections, whilst some were named after holiday destinations served by the LMS.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWhilst the Patriots were considered good performers from their introduction, between 1946 and 1949 eighteen were rebuilt with new tapered boilers, a new cab and new tenders, all to the design of William Stanier. A similar rebuilding programme had earlier been initiated for the Royal Scots to which the Patriots bore so many similarities. Those 34 locomotives that were not rebuilt survived into British Railways ownership, still employed on express passenger services although as the onset of dieselisation began, some were displaced to mixed traffic duties.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe entire fleet was still working at the start of 1960 however a pair succumbed later that year.

The LMS built 52 of these locomotives for express passenger duties but sadly none were preserved, however The LMS Patriot Project was launched in 2008 to build a replica Patriot Class locomotive to represent this long-lost class and create a national memorial engine, recognising the role that class leader No. 5500 performed for the LMS from 1937.

Moving to the tender and the locomotive to tender drawbar is adjustable to suit individual layout conditions, whilst electrical connections are incorporated into the drawbar and a poseable fallplate is fitted to the tender, which itself is another precision moulded part, with several separately applied details including the lamp irons, tank vents, coal rails and handwheels. A realistic coal load is included whilst the tender chassis sports brake rigging and water pick-up gear. Sprung metal buffers are fitted to both the front of the locomotive and the rear of the tender.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWithin the cab, a detailed boiler backhead is present and the pipework and controls are enhanced with individual decoration. The ventilator on the cab roof is a separate part, allowing it to be posed in the open or closed position, or somewhere in between. The high level of decoration is not reserved only for the cab interior of course, and the model boasts an authentic rendition of the BR Lined Green livery complete with full-colour early emblems. The beautifully crafted livery application is finished with precision printed details like the running number, shed code and builders plaques, whilst etched nameplates are supplied for user-fitting to complete the look of this express locomotive.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWith a powerful three pole motor and a proven drive train, the Branchline Patriot is a surefooted machine that boasts electrical pickups from the driving wheels and tender wheels.

The first two of the 52-strong fleet of Patriots were created in 1930 by notionally rebuilding two LNWR Claughtons; the new locomotives retained the original driving wheels and bogie trucks along with some other parts and for four years they kept the Claughton numbers before being renumbered in 1934.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe other 50 locomotives were essentially built from new, albeit for accounting purposes 40 were classified as rebuilds, and construction was shared between the LMS’s Crewe Works who made the majority, and Derby Works which completed just ten examples.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCommonly known as ‘Baby Scots’ owing to their similarities to the ‘Royal Scot’ locomotives albeit with a smaller boiler, the Patriots saw widespread operation across the principal routes of the LMS and later, BR’s Midland Region. The class gained its name in 1937 when No. 5500 was named ‘Patriot’ as a successor to the original LNWR Claughton remembrance locomotive of the same name. Other members of the class were given names of regiments or had military connections, whilst some were named after holiday destinations served by the LMS.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWhilst the Patriots were considered good performers from their introduction, between 1946 and 1949 eighteen were rebuilt with new tapered boilers, a new cab and new tenders, all to the design of William Stanier. A similar rebuilding programme had earlier been initiated for the Royal Scots to which the Patriots bore so many similarities. Those 34 locomotives that were not rebuilt survived into British Railways ownership, still employed on express passenger services although as the onset of dieselisation began, some were displaced to mixed traffic duties.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe entire fleet was still working at the start of 1960 however a pair succumbed later that year. Eight more were taken out of traffic in 1961, and the type had gone completely by the end of 1962.
