Hornby LNER A4 Class locomotive 60026, named “Miles Beevor”, is modelled in a lined green livery with the early LNER emblem. The model measures 291 mm in length, is in pristine condition and is DCC ready with an 8‑pin socket.

Technical details include a 5‑pole skew‑wound motor, NEM couplings and a minimum curve radius of 2nd Radius (438 mm). Power is collected from the driving and leading wheels and the tender, and the model represents a steam‑powered 4‑6‑2 wheel arrangement capable of a maximum speed of 90 mph. It conforms to the manufacturer part number R3522.

The prototype was built in March 1937 at Doncaster for the London & North Eastern Railway, designed by Nigel Gresley. A total of 35 A4 locomotives were produced; this unit entered service with British Railways, was withdrawn in December 1965 and had a service life of 28 years. The model depicts the era of the “Big Four” railway companies.
