Hornby RailRoad SR Class B4 0-4-0 No96 Normandy.
This RailRoad B4 Class steam shunter is the ideal little tank engine for
a model railway layout. Whether running a short train around a layout or
shunting wagons in a goods yard, it is the perfect little steam engine
for getting things moved! The B4 Class were first introduced in the
1890’s with their original purpose being for station piloting and
shunting freight wagons in docks. They were designed by London and South
Western Railway (LSWR). The close wheel configuration made them ideal
for shunting around tight radius curves that were common in docks and
works yards with limited space. Two examples of these fine locomotives
are still preserved today, including the one we've replicated here,
‘Normandy’, which still serves at the Bluebell Preserved Railway in the
South East.
