Hornby LNER A4 Class 4-6-2 locomotive model, running number 4493, named Woodcock. The model is finished in a pristine condition and represents the LNER A4 class built by the London and North Eastern Railway at Doncaster in July 1937. It carries the Apple/Doncaster Green livery lined in silver and is intended to depict the period of the Big Four railway companies.

The model measures 291 mm in length, uses a 5‑pole skew wound motor, and is DCC ready with an 8‑pin socket. Power is picked up from the driving and leading wheels and the tender only. It features NEM couplings, a minimum curve radius of 438 mm (second radius), and a maximum speed of 90 mph. The locomotive is powered by steam and is supplied with the manufacturer part number R3630.

The real locomotive was one of 35 A4 class engines built, designed by Nigel Gresley, and entered service in July 1937. It was operated by the London and North Eastern Railway, withdrawn in October 1963 and had a service life of 26 years. The model therefore represents a historically significant steam engine from the era of the Big Four railway companies.
