Manufacturer description
Five members of Gresley’s 35-strong A4 Class were named after British Empire Countries to haul the LNER’s new Anglo-Scottish ‘Coronation’ train, including No. 4492 ‘Dominion of New Zealand’, which was built at Doncaster Works and entered service in June 1937. Under the LNER’s renumbering scheme in 1946, the locomotive was given the number 13, which under British Railways, following nationalisation in 1948, became No. 60013. The locomotive was initially allocated to King’s Cross, but also spent time at Haymarket in Edinburgh and Grantham, before withdrawal from ‘Top Shed’ in April 1963. It was then scrapped within weeks at Doncaster Works. The model is in LNER Garter Blue with full streamlining – the condition it was in when new in 1937.
