Prototype information

^* Class names often change over the lifespan of a locomotive, so this is not necessarily the class name used by the operator in the period modelled.

The Hornby Southern Suburban – Class 71 + Maunsell bundle is a DCC‑ready OO‑scale model featuring an eight‑pin socket. It is painted in a crimson finish, uses a 5‑pole skew wound motor, and measures 310 mm in length. The minimum curve radius is the second radius (438 mm). The model represents British Railways in the British Rail Blue livery, pre‑TOPS, and is catalogued under the manufacturer part number BUNDLEH11. It was designed by Richard Maunsell and depicts a Class 71 locomotive, number E5005, together with four Maunsell corridor coaches.

The set is intended to illustrate a 1960s passenger service during the transition from steam to diesel and electric traction on the Southern Region. It combines the locomotive and coaches to allow a model railway to portray this period of British railway history.
