Model details

Hornby Somerset Belle Digital Train Set is a model locomotive and accompanying wagons presented in a pristine blue finish. The locomotive carries the running number 24 and is fitted with digital command control (DCC). It uses a Type 7 motor, has a length of 124 mm and can negotiate a minimum radius curve of 371 mm (first radius).

The model represents a London, Midland & Scottish Railway 3F “Jinty” 0‑6‑0 steam locomotive designed by Henry Fowler. It depicts a locomotive built between 1924 and 1931, a period of pre‑grouping railway operation, and bears the livery of the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway (SDJR). A total of 422 of the original locomotives were produced.

Included with the locomotive are three types of wagons – an open wagon, a tank wagon and a brake van – all listed with the manufacturer part number R1125. The wagons are shown in the liveries of the Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway and the London, Midland & Scottish Railway.

All components of the set are described as being in a pristine condition. The set is suitable for layouts that require DCC‑fitted rolling stock and a minimum curve radius of 371 mm.
