Hornby K&ESR’s “Terrier” model represents the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway A1X class 0‑6‑0T locomotive No 5, named Rolvenden. The model is part of Era 2, finished in pristine condition with a blue livery, and measures 105 mm in length. It carries the manufacturer part number R3781 and is supplied with a 6‑pin DCC‑ready socket.

The locomotive is powered by a three‑pole skew‑wound motor and draws power from all wheels. It runs on a minimum radius curve of 371 mm (first radius) and uses NEM/tension‑lock couplings. The model is designed for the Kent & East Sussex Railway (K&ESR) and is fully compatible with DCC systems.

Historically the prototype was built at Brighton Works between 1872 and 1880 to a design by William Stroudley, with 17 examples produced. It operated under steam in the pre‑grouping era and was originally employed by the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway before later service on the Kent & East Sussex Railway.
