Description
Hornby Railways Locomotive R452 LMS 0-6-0 Tank With Smoke with original box
Model Overview: Hornby R452 LMS 0-6-0 Tank with Smoke
What it is:
-
The R452 reference denotes Hornby’s OO-gauge model of an LMS (London, Midland and Scottish Railway) 0-6-0 “Jinty” tank locomotive. Typical R-series numbering (e.g., R.452) was used by Hornby (especially in the 1970s) for ready-to-run loco models.
-
This version includes a smoke unit (“Synchrosmoke”), meaning it was designed to produce smoke from the chimney when powered, an effect achieved with an internal smoke generator.
-
Scale: OO Gauge (1:76) — the standard British model railway scale.
-
Wheel arrangement: 0-6-0T (six driving wheels, no separate tender).
-
Livery around that era was typically maroon LMS colours on these locomotives.
Smoke feature:
-
The original “Synchrosmoke” units used in these Hornby models puffed smoke synced with wheel motion, driven off the motor. Smoke oil must be used in the unit to avoid damage
