“Finished in black wartime livery, Hornbys LMS Streamlined Coronation Class 6247 City of Liverpool joins the WWII 80th Anniversary Collection capturing the power and presence of one of Staniers most impressive express locomotives during the Second World War. This finely detailed 00 gauge model is DCC-ready with a 21-pin socket, offering easy digital conversion for enhanced performance and control. With its distinctive streamlined casing and wartime finish, City of Liverpool is a commanding addition to any steam-era layout.

Emerging from Crewe Works in September 1943 complete with bathtub streamlining during the war years, the locomotive went straight to Camden shed for working London Euston-Glasgow expresses wearing plain black livery, which was normal practice during the Second World War. After just four years, its streamlined casing was removed, in June 1947 and, instead, the locomotive was fitted with smoke deflectors and painted in lined black LMS livery. Its sloping semi smokebox wasnt replaced until September 1956, and it was withdrawn from Carlisle Kingmoor in June 1963 as BR lined maroon 46427 and scrapped during July.”
