Hornby BR 6000 ‘King’ Class model, number 6025 “King Henry III”, is presented in pristine condition. It is a 4‑6‑0 steam locomotive model, coloured in blue livery and measuring 274 mm in length. The model carries the manufacturer part number R3410 and is DCC ready with an 8‑pin socket.

The model is fitted with a 5‑pole skew‑wound motor and can negotiate a minimum radius of the second radius, 438 mm. Coupling conforms to NEM standards and power is collected from both the driving wheels and the tender wheels. The locomotive is designed to the British Railways Early Crest period and represents the Great Western Railway 6000 “King” class designed by Charles Collett.

The prototype locomotive was built by the Great Western Railway at Swindon in July 1930, with a total production run of 31 units. It entered service with the Great Western Railway, later operated by British Railways, and was withdrawn in December 1962 after 32 years of operation. The model reflects this early British Railways era.
