"Excellent product. Same day despatch."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

An excellent model, beautifully presented by Hornby. My only disappointment is that Hornby decided the brakes on the leading drivers could not be modelled.

Happy to say the service received from Mighty Ape, and from their delivery contractor, was also excellent. The model arrived safely and securely packed.

As a fairly well informed railway modeller, I think my version of “Sir William Stanier FRS”, purchased from Mighty Ape, was the last one available anywhere in the world.

Informatively, Hornby have announced a re-run, so get in quick with your pre-order if you want one.

Very pleased indeed with my purchase.

Hornby: BR 4–6–2 ‘Sir William A. Stanier F.R.S.’ Princess Coronation Class

The story of the Princess Coronation Class is one of split personalities and purposes and represents the difference in opinions and attitudes between design on the one hand, and perceived cost savings on the other. The original streamlined form of the class arose from tests by the London Midland Scottish Railway’s Research Department on Stanier’s deve­lopment of the Princess Royal class locomotives. Stanier was said to be ambivalent about the economic value of streamlining, but was aware of the publicity value of such a design. When the opportunity to produce five conventional versions of the Coronation Pacific as a comparison to the streamlined version arose
