Hornby Railroad R2672 00 Gauge Caledonian Railway 272 0-4-0 Saddle Tank Locomotive
This Hornby model of a characterful 0-4-0 saddle tank shunting engine in the attractive Caledonian blue livery has long been a favourite for younger modellers and will be at home in the goods yard or on a branchline as a layout grows.
Surprisingly this is a good model of the real Caledonian Railway 'pug', a class of small 0-4-0 saddle tank engines built for shunting in harbours, dockyards and the close-packed industrial areas where sharp track curves prevented the use of larger engines. Hornby have fitted this model with a simple and reliable mechanism which will give good service and years of enjoyment.
