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’s LMS Suburban Passenger Train Pack – Era 3 – Limited Edition is a model railway set representing a London, Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS) 4P (Fowler) suburban passenger train from the period known as the Big Four. The locomotives are 2‑6‑4T tank engines designed by Henry Fowler and built at LMS Derby Works between 1927 and 1934, with a total of 125 produced. The pack includes a locomotive in lined black livery (running number 2328) and four additional units in maroon livery (running numbers 20768, 20769 and 16592) and LMS black, all finished in a pristine condition.

Each locomotive measures 188 mm in length, is DCC ready with an 8‑pin socket, and is fitted with a 5‑pole skew‑wound motor. The models use power pickup from the driving wheels only and are capable of navigating a minimum radius of 438 mm (second radius). The coach component of the set reproduces the LMS Stanier suburban carriages, also in pristine finish.

The product carries the manufacturer part number R3397 and is intended for collectors and model railway enthusiasts who wish to depict LMS suburban services from the late 1920s to the mid‑1930s. The pack was released on 15/10/2025.
