Hornby Loadhaul Class 60 locomotive model, reference R3657, depicts the British Railways‑designed diesel locomotive number 60070 “John Loudon McAdam”. The model is built to OO gauge, measures 280 mm in length and features a 5‑pole skew‑wound motor with all‑wheel power pickup. It uses NEM couplings, a 2nd‑radius minimum curve of 438 mm, and includes a DCC‑ready 8‑pin socket.

The livery is a two‑tone grey finish, representing the Loadhaul branding applied to a small number of Class 60s during the initial privatisation period (1989‑1993). The locomotive’s wheel arrangement is Co‑Co and the model is supplied in a pristine condition.

Historically, the real locomotive was constructed by Brush Traction at its works in October 1991 and was named on 28 October 1991. It was one of three Class 60s to carry Loadhaul branding over the Rail Freight triple‑grey scheme, rather than the more common black with yellow ends. The locomotive was placed in storage on 31 August 2004 and remains stored at DB Schenker’s Toton site.
