Hornby R3839 BR, Standard 2MT, 2-6-0, 78000 - Era 5 Locomotive

Hornby Train Toy: 78000 entered traffic at Oswestry on 27 December 1952 along with the other nine 2MT locomotives from the first batch, displacing the GWR Dean Goods and Cambrian Railways' 0-6-0s from their local passenger and freight duties. Toy Steam Locomotive: Discover Hornby steam locomotives for model railways. There are many to choose from, as well as DCC-fitted, DCC-ready, and analogue models. OO Gauge Locomotives: Hornby's finely detailed OO gauge model trains and rolling stock are designed for robust and smooth operation, ensuring compatibility with standard Hornby tracks. Era 5 - Late British Railways: The later period of railway nationalisation covers the last years of mainline steam operation, as diesel haulage succeeded steam on Britain’s railways.
