Hornby R30340 Hornby 70th Westwood 0-4-0 No. 9 Polly 1954-2024 Limited Edition Locomotive

In the 1960s, Tri-ang Railways released the 0-4-0 industrial tank locomotive, No. 9 'Polly', in a red livery with the number R355R. These locomotive models were produced in the Rovex Scale Models Limited Margate factory and arrived in customers' hands encased in the iconic Tri-ang Railways red and yellow packaging. The design for the locomotive appears to have been based on a Class C14 which was intended for suburban passenger traffic around the city of London and was designed by Dugald Drummond for the London & South Western Railway in 1906.

Celebrate the 70th anniversary of Hornby in Margate with a reproduction of the Tri-ang Railways No. 9 'Polly' 0-4-0 locomotive in a scarlet red livery and yellow 'Polly' nameplate with red lettering, an inverse of the 'Connie' and 'Nellie' nameplates. This model will be perfect for any Hornby history enthusiasts.
