Competition 2: to win unique A1 Pacific 4470 "Great Northern", that has been specially renamed and renumbered by Neville Grove to mark its centenery from brand new ‘Knight of the Thistle , you will need to look out for a post on @officialhornby’s Instagram account on Friday 8TH July 2022. All details for entry will be included in the caption.

The competitions close 11:59(BST) on 10/07/2022

“Humorist”, the LNER black “Isinglass” and “St Simon” appear courtesy of Simon A. C. Martin who had sent them for custom weathering.

BR Blue “Prince Palatine” is a striking visitor from Dan Back, whilst A4’s Mallard and Sir Walter K Wigham were sent by Chris of “The_OO_Gauge_Modeller” fame on Instagram.
