Hornby British Railways Class 5MT 4-6-0 locomotive, model number R3453, represents the LMS “Black Five” locomotives built between 1934 and 1951. The model is painted in lined black livery with the Late BR crest and carries the running number 45274. Condition is described as pristine.

The locomotive measures 256 mm in length, has a 5‑pole skew‑wound motor, and is DCC ready with an 8‑pin socket. It can negotiate a minimum radius of the second standard curve (438 mm) and draws power from both the driving wheels and the tender wheels. The model is suitable for DCC operation and depicts a steam‑powered engine.

It reproduces a British Railways “Late Crest” period locomotive of the 4‑6‑0 wheel arrangement, originally designed by William Stanier and built by LMS Crewe, Derby & Horwich Works, Vulcan Foundry and Armstrong Whitworth. A total of 842 of the real locomotives were produced. The model was released in the UK format on 15/02/2024.
