Product Description
Sir Nigel Gresley's W1 4-6-4HP 10000 entered Darlington Works on 21 August 1935 for what was anticipated to be a major overhaul and modification. During this period Gresley decided that it was time to rebuild 10000 as a three cylinder locomotive with a conventional firetube boiler and 10000 was moved to Doncaster Works on 13 October 1936.
When 10000 was finally released from Doncaster Works in November 1937, it was a significantly different locomotive; being fitted with a diagram 111 boiler that was very similar to the diagram 108 boiler fitted to 2006 ‘Wolf of Badenoch’, and with a streamlined casing to the same pattern as the A4 class.
Our replication of the Gresley rebuilt ‘Hush Hush’ locomotive features a streamlined front, reminiscent of the classic A4 style of streamlining. The life-like model sports an austere black livery on the body. This model is DCC ready and is compatible with our HM7000 21-Pin decoder. The accessory bag contains a wheel axle assembly, two vac pipes, two-cylinder draincocks, one bar coupling and one hook coupling.
