Hornby 1:1 Collection 45379 is a limited‑edition model of a British Railways 5MT Class 5 "Black Five" 4‑6‑0 locomotive. Only 1,000 examples were produced, each in a pristine state with a lined black livery and the late British Rail crest. The model represents the era of steam locomotives built between 1934 and 1951 and is suitable for modern DCC layouts, featuring an 8‑pin DCC‑ready socket.

The locomotive measures 256 mm in length, runs on a 5‑pole skew‑wound motor, and draws power from both the driving wheels and tender wheels. It can negotiate a minimum radius of 438 mm (second radius curve). The model is a replica of LMS Crewe‑built No 45379, designed by William Stanier, and carries the Hornby part number R3805.
