Production Details:
Hornby LNER Class 91 Lord Mayor of Newcastle 91130.
Entering service as 91030 in January 1991, this locomotive was
originally named ‘Palace of Holyrood House’. It lost its name following
privatisation of BR in 1997, when it was put into GNER colours, but in
September 2001, it was named ‘City of Newcastle’ and renumbered 91130
following refurbishment by Adtranz. By 2004, the name had been removed.
Under Virgin Trains East Coast, it was named ‘Lord Mayor of Newcastle’
from December 2016. A new livery of LNER red and white was applied when
the franchise changed hands in 2018 and the name was retained. The
locomotive is still in operational condition.
