Production Details:
In 1988, Australia celebrated its bicentenary and,
to mark the occasion, the world-famous ‘Flying Scotsman’ was invited to
travel from Britain to take part in a series of railtours that were part
of the ‘Aus Steam 88’ Festival, arriving in October that year. Already
resident in Western Australia since 1977, in the care of the Pilbara
Railway Historical Society, former GWR ‘Castle’ Class 4-6-0 ‘Pendennis
Castle’ was moved by road to Perth in early 1989 to operate alongside
its one-time rival ‘A3’ Class ‘Pacific’. This unlikely reunion occurred
almost 9,000 miles from where a week-long locomotive exchange once took
place between the LNER and GWR, in April 1925. This LNER and GWR Train
Pack celebrates that landmark event in Australia 37 years ago in 1989.
Featuring OO gauge locomotive model replicas of 'Flying Scotsman' and 'Pendennis
Castle', these highly detailed designs include sprung metal buffers and
NEM tension lock couplings for smooth rake creation. Add a 21-pin
decoder to upgrade to HM7000 control. Technical Specification & Detail:
