Information

A total of 512 Brush Type 4s were built by Brush Traction at its Falcon Works in Loughborough, and by BR at its Crewe Works. This locomotive entered traffic as D1787 in 1964 at Tinsley and was used extensively on merry-go-round trains.

It was renumbered 47306 in 1974 and became part of the EWS fleet inherited from BR in 1997, painted in BR Freightliner Distribution livery and named 'The Sapper'. It finished its career at Bescot in February 1999 and, after a period in storage at St Blazey, moved to the Bodmin Railway for preservation in 2007, where it has been restored to full working condition.

As part of Hornbys RailRoad range, this model has been designed with fewer delicate detail parts and more durable detailing, making it better for handling - perfect for beginners or for adding to your existing collection!
