The ‘Night Hawk’, designed by Sir Nigel Gresley was originally built in 1924. Its striking design and distinctive colour will undoubtedly add extra style to any Hornby TT:120 layout. The Class A1 locomotive, ‘Night Hawk’ first entered LNER service in 1924 as number 2577. Rebuilt in January 1944 as a Class A3, the locomotive would go on to be numbered 78 and then later under the BR numbering system. ‘Night Hawk’ was withdrawn on 22nd October 1962 and then later scrapped in Doncaster in 1963.
The locomotive contains a pre-fitted decoder which when used via the FREE to download HM|DCC app, enables access to a whole range of functions including sounds such as multiple whistles, a carriage break squeal, the guard’s whistle and even a slamming door.
