Newly Tooled, Class J52 Shunter is Here!

The recent newsletter from Hornby Shop introduces the newly tooled LNER, Class J52, 4225 locomotive in a classic black LNER livery. This locomotive is a replica of one of the ten J52s built by Robert Stephenson & Co in Newcastle, known for its remarkable 60-year service in shunting. The newsletter highlights the various features of this model, including a heavy diecast chassis, sku-wound 5-pole motor, flickering firebox, sprung buffers, kinematic front and rear NEM couplings, and an accessory pack with vacuum pipes, lamps, coupling bars, and hooks. Moreover, the model can be easily upgraded for DCC or Bluetooth control and sound by adding a 21-pin HM7000 decoder, making it suitable for Era 3 modellers or locomotive collectors.

The Class J52 locomotive is available for purchase at £174.99. Additionally, there are pre-order options for other models like BR Early-Class J52, GNR-Class J13, and LNER J36 Class.
