Product Description
In the 1960s, Tri-ang Railways released an 0-4-0 industrial tank locomotive, No. 9 'Polly' in a red livery with an R number of R355R. These locomotive models were produced in the Rovex Scale Models Limited Margate factory and arrived in customer's hands encased in the iconic Tri-ang Railways red and yellow packaging. The design for the locomotive appears to have been based on a Class C14 which was intended for suburban passenger traffic around the city of London and was designed by Dugald Drummond for the London & South Western Railway in 1906.
Celebrate the 70th anniversary of Hornby in Margate with a reproduction of the Tri-ang Railways No. 9 'Polly' 0-4-0 locomotive in a scarlet red livery and yellow 'Polly' nameplate with red lettering, an inverse of the 'Connie' and 'Nellie' nameplates. This model will be perfect for any Hornby history enthusiasts.
