Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars.
This Hornby model of the LNER A3 Class locomotive No. 2573 'Harvester' is a beautifully detailed piece for railway enthusiasts. It's built to 1:76 scale (OO gauge), so it fits standard Hornby tracks and works with most OO gauge rolling stock. The locomotive represents Era 3 (the 'Grouping' period between the World Wars), capturing the look of the real 'Harvester' which entered service in 1924.
The model is designed for smooth, reliable operation, whether you're running it on a simple loop or a more elaborate layout. It's an analogue model (not DCC-fitted), so it's ready to run straight out of the box on traditional DC controllers. The level of detail—from the livery to the smaller fittings—makes it a great display piece as well as a runner.
Perfect for adult collectors, model railway builders, or as a gift for anyone into British steam heritage. Hornby's been making quality model trains since 1920, and this one lives up to that reputation.
