Hornby has announced the release of a newly-tooled Great Northern Railway (GNR) Class J13 (later LNER Class J52) model, offering a significant upgrade to its long-serving predecessor. The first versions of this new model have now arrived in stock, featuring stunning detail and performance.

Pricing and availability

This new model brings the humble 0-6-0ST firmly into the super-detail era, making it an elegant addition to any layout, whether pre-grouping or LNER-era. The previous J13 tooling, originally from 1981, has been well-serving modellers, but this new rendition offers a significant upgrade.
