Hornby K&ESR Terrier 150th
Anniversary Pack - Era 2/3
Product Code: R30123
Production Details:
In 1872 the first of the Stroudley
designed ‘Terriers’, No. 72 ‘Fenchurch’ entered service.
This locomotive was the first of fifty that were built
between the years of 1872 and 1880 and it is a testimony
to the design there are still 10 examples in existence.
The Kent & East Sussex Railway has been synonymous
with 'Terriers' since purchasing the 1872 built No. 70
'Poplar' in 1901. Having spent most of its life on the
K&ESR, to celebrate its 150th anniversary the Railway
commissioned 'Poplar's overhaul, with the locomotive now
resplendent in its original livery of Stroudley 'improved engine green'
The second 'Terrier' No. 78 'Knowle' completes this
celebratory brace of Stroudley's locomotives. Now
preserved at the K&ESR 'Knowle' today carries the plain
black Southern livery with 'sunshine' lettering. This
Limited Edition of 500 has been produced with the full
cooperation of The Kent & East Sussex Railway and loco
owners, The Terrier Trust.
