Recognised as the pinnacle of express passenger locomotive design, the Princess Coronation Pacifics were designed by Sir William Stanier for the LMS to haul the heaviest trains unaided up the West Coast Mainline. Built in batches, the first of the 38-strong class entered service in 1937 and featured many design differences, most visibly with 23 carrying distinctive ‘bathtub’ streamlined casings, before all appeared in a conventional form under BR.

Hornby’s three initial releases of the LMS Coronation Pacifics depict the powerful lines of the non-streamlined examples, including the late BR guise of 46234 ‘Duchess of Abercorn’ in lined British Railways green with factory-fitted Bluetooth TXS sound (TT3012TXSM).

The model accurately replicates the class right down to minute detail differences, including double chimney, full running plate and smoke deflectors. Internally, the Duchess features a Next18 DCC sound decoder in the tender, pre-fitted 15mm x 11mm cube speaker and powerful 3-pole motor. Suitable for the late-1950s and early 1960s (era 5), ‘Duchess of Abercorn’ is an eye-catching addition to any TT:120 model railway alongside Hornby’s Period III and Mk1 ranges of carriages.
