HORNBY R30317 RAILROAD 0-4-0 LOCOMOTIVE MIDLAND AND GREAT NORTHERN

This small locomotive, painted in the resplendent livery of the pre-grouping M&GNJR, is representative of the kind you might have found shunting around dockyards or hauling mixed traffic on a light railway or branch line in the countryside. Small locomotives like this were easy to operate and maintain and were capable of traversing the tightest radius curves as would often be found in industrial settings. Should a locomotive need to traverse tighter curves that these locomotives could then narrow gauge would be the only way to go.
