Model Trains * | Hornby R3566 Oo Br 4-6-2 ‘Nederland Line’ 35014 Merchant Navy Class

This Is A Hornby R3566 Oo Scale Br 4-6-2 ‘Nederland Line’ 35014 Merchant Navy Class (Re-Built) Early Br. Conceived In 1937 When Oliver Bulleid Became Chief Mechanical Engineer Of The Southern Railway, The Merchant Navy Class Represented Bulleid’S Vision For A Quick Accelerating, Mixed Traffic 4-6-2 Locomotive, Equally Capable Of Hauling Passenger Services (Such As The Golden Arrow And Atlantic Coast Expresses), Or Freight Workings, To A Speed Of Around 75Mph. In 1934, Bulleid Had Been Opposed The Use Of Streamlining, But For The Merchant Navy’S ‘Air-Smoothed’ Design It Suited His Purposes, Being Easy To Clean Mechanically And Hiding The Boiler’S External Pipes, Which In Turn Meant They Could Be Run For Function, Rather Than Aesthetics.
