There 'Lion' remained until it was replaced by an electric pump in 1928 and it was at this time that the Liverpool Engineering Society became aware of its existence.The task to rebuild 'Lion' was given to the Crewe Works who built a new tender using as a basis a scrapped Furness Railway locomotive tender. Other work included a new chimney, wheel splashers, footplate, plus numerous other parts including boiler tubes. Moving away from the original build, a controversial copper cover was fitted over the high firebox to simulate an arc de cloitre firebox, a design feature that dated back to the first half of the 19th century.By 1930 the newly refurbished 'Lion' became one of the star attractions of the Liverpool \u0026amp; Manchester Railway Centenary exhibition in September of that year. Using replica coaches and carriages of the period 'Lion' offered trips around a circular track at the Wavertree Playground.The L\u0026amp;MR No. 57, 'Lion' included in this pack represents the locomotive as it appeared in the 1930 L\u0026amp;MR Centenary Exhibition and includes coaches and carriages as used at that time.The R40371 Coach \u0026amp; Carriage pack available separately features extra vehicles to simulate the whole train as used during the Centenary Exhibition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid grid--1-col@medium\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item grid__item--60\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid grid--2-col grid--1-col@medium\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item\"\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"spec grid grid--2-col grid--2-col@small grid--row-gap-10\"\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"grid__item spec__title\"\u003eItem Length - Without Packaging (cm) 30\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"grid__item spec__title\"\u003eItem Height - Without Packaging (cm) 4\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"grid__item spec__title\"\u003eItem Width - Without Packaging (cm) 3\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"grid__item spec__title\"\u003eItem Weight - Without Packaging 0.13\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"grid__item spec__title\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Scale\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:76 Scale 00 Gauge\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"grid__item spec__title\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e Painted\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"grid__item spec__title\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e Multiple\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"grid__item spec__title\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGauge\u003c\/strong\u003e OO\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"grid__item spec__title\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDCC Status\u003c\/strong\u003e Next 18 Socket (NEM 662)\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item\"\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"spec grid grid--2-col grid--2-col@small grid--row-gap-10\"\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"grid__item spec__title\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperator\u003c\/strong\u003e L\u0026amp;MR\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"grid__item spec__title\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner\u003c\/strong\u003e Robert Stephenson\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"grid__item spec__title\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e 0-4-2\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"grid__item spec__title\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLivery\u003c\/strong\u003e L\u0026amp;MR Green and Gold\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"grid__item spec__title\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Curve (mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e Radius 2\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"grid__item spec__title\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotor\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 Pole Skew wound\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"grid__item spec__title\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Parts\u003c\/strong\u003e 4\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"grid__item spec__title\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuffer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e Moulded Dumb Buffers\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"grid__item spec__title\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoupling Type\u003c\/strong\u003e Chain\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hornby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42261915762844,"sku":"R30232","price":399.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0585\/9095\/3628\/products\/R30232.jpg?v=1739117640","url":"https:\/\/www.harveynorman.lol\/products\/oo-l-mr-centenary-1930-aelionae-train-pack-era-1","provider":"Hobbyco","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
