Pre-Owned NER H Class – No.1310 NER Simplified Saxony Green Livery (as preserved) Steam Locomotive

Description

Pre-Owned Item, in as new condition.

Rapido Trains UK has added one of the LNERs smallest steam locomotive to its range – the Worsdell Y7 0-4-0T.

Of all the LNER locomotives we could have added to our range, we have gone for one of the smallest. Well, we do like to do things differently here!

The North Eastern Railways H 0-4-0Ts were built to Thomas Worsdells design, to replace elderly Manning Wardle locomotives on the NERs docks.

They were the perfect dockyard locomotive: powerful, rugged and simple.
