S2104-06 Robinson A5 (GCR Class 9N) 4-6-2 BR Black (Late Crest) No.69820 Steam Tank Locomotive
Exclusive to Rails of Sheffield
- DCC ready 6 pin right angle
- The model will pick up on the driving wheels and rear pony truck.
- The front pony will not have pickups.
- The firebox will be illuminated with an LED.
44 of these powerful locomotives were built over a 15 year period from 1911-1926 and the last was withdrawn in 1960.
Designed by the Great Central Railway’s Chief Mechanical Engineer John G Robinson to tackle suburban trains operating from the company’s London terminus at Marylebone, they were originally designated Class 9N, however after grouping the LNER reclassified them A5.
The last-built locomotives, built after grouping, were assigned to north east England and under the LNER other members of the class were used more widely – on suburban services from King Cross, around Bradford and on the former London Transport lines between Aylesbury and Rickmansworth.
Following nationalisation those A5s still on Marylebone trains were transferred to Lincolnshire and on to Darlington and Hull. The last was withdrawn in November 1960.
