Manufacturer description

The next model from our One:One Collection is the elegant BR Royal Scot Class 'Royal Scot' locomotive. With sprung metal buffers and NEM tension lock couplings, this steam locomotive model is DCC ready - just add a 21 pin decoder. 

First of the class, 6100 ‘Royal Scot’ entered service with the LMS in 1927. Designed by Henry Fowler as a three-cylinder express locomotive with parallel boiler, a lack of capacity at its locomotive works meant construction of the first 50 was awarded to the North British Locomotive Co. in Glasgow. The remaining 20 were built at Derby Works. 

No. 6100 swapped identities with the much newer 6152 ‘King’s Dragoon Guardsman’ (built in 1930) in order to attend the ‘Century of Progress Exhibition’, Chicago, in 1933. As BR 46100, ‘Royal Scot’ was rebuilt with a taper boiler to its present condition in 1950. Withdrawn in 1962, it returned to the main line in 2016, but is currently stored at the One:One Collection, Margate. 

What is the One:One Collection?

Imagine a collection of railway locomotives and other vehicles in which the subjects are not scale models but the real thing. The One:One Collection​​​​​​​ is a unique gathering of some of the most iconic and historically important railway locomotives, rolling stock and memorabilia in the United Kingdom.

Each vehicle in the collection has either undergone, or is undergoing, painstaking restoration to return it to museum quality presentation, with many of the vehicles being certified for use on the United Kingdom’s rail network. From time to time, The The One:One Collection Museum will host guest locomotives for periods of medium or long term storage and display.

When these locomotives are at the Margate warehouse, they will become honorary members of The One:One Collection for promotion and merchandising purposes. As part of The One:One Collection, we are pleased to showcase this model.

Please note: the One:One Collection Museum is still in construction and not yet open to the public.

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.

Hornby model BR Royal Scot Class 'Royal Scot' (full designation 46100) – One:One Collection, manufacturer part number R30500. The model represents the British Railways Early Crest period.

The locomotive model includes sprung metal buffers and NEM tension‑lock couplings and is DCC ready; a 21‑pin decoder can be fitted to operate it. It is a 00 gauge rendition of the original express engine.

The real locomotive, No 6100 Royal Scot, entered LMS service in 1927 as a three‑cylinder express design by Henry Fowler. The first fifty were built by the North British Locomotive Company in Glasgow, with a further twenty constructed at Derby Works. In 1933 the engine swapped identities with No 6152 ‘King’s Dragoon Guardsman’ to appear at the Century of Progress Exhibition in Chicago. Re‑numbered 46100 under British Railways, it was rebuilt with a taper boiler in 1950, withdrawn in 1962, and returned to main‑line operation in 2016. It is now stored at the One:One Collection, Margate.

The One:One Collection is a museum‑scale gathering of full‑size railway locomotives, rolling stock and memorabilia being restored to museum quality. While the museum is still under construction and not open to the public, vehicles held at the Margate warehouse are listed as honorary members for promotional purposes.
