Hornby OO Gauge BR, Thompson Class L1, 2-6-4T, E9011 - Era 4 R30360

The LNER Thompson Class L1 2-6-4T steam locomotives began with prototype No. 9000 in 1945 as part of Thompson’s ‘Standardisation Programme’, painted in an apple-green livery. No. E9011 was constructed at Darlington Works and entered traffic on 25th March 1948. 

A few months later, on 21st July 1948, the locomotive was renumbered to a more standardised BR number of 67712. It was originally allocated to Stratford shed and then on 8th February 1959, it was allocated to Cambridge. The engine was condemned on 4th October 1961 and moved to Darlington to be cut up the next day.

Our replication of the standardised Thompson L1 Class ‘E9011’ locomotive is complete with the striking BR green livery. This model is DCC-ready and is compatible with our HM7000 8-Pin decoder. The accessory pack contains one hook coupling, one bar coupling, an articulated small coupler assembly, two vacpipes, a tall L1 rear vac pipe, an L1 front step, two L1 cylinder drain cocks for the left-hand side, a tall L1 front vac pipe and an L1 pull rod.
