Hornby 2015 Release Information - Train Packs

In late May, early June 1940 a miracle occurred at Dunkirk, a town situated on the coast of Northern France when over 300,000 British and Allied service personnel were snatched from the beaches by an armada of ships of all different shapes and sizes. Once the troops arrived back in England, many at Ramsgate, Kent they were placed on hastily rostered trains and transferred to various bases around Britain.
This limited edition train pack features a Southern Railway Drummond 700 locomotive and three Maunsell coaches representing Coach Set 447 with all models represented in the livery of the period.

After almost 6 years of fighting in Europe, Africa plus the Middle and Far East the British Service personnel who made up the British Army, Royal Navy and Air Force started their final journey home once peace had been declared. During this time the trains in Britain were full to capacity with these victorious warriors all anxious to get home to their loved ones and to once more resume their life as it had been prior to War being declared.
This limited edition train pack is in celebration of those days after the end of the Second Word War when Britain’s brave men and women were just anxious to be ‘Going Home’.

The Battle of Britain Class, ‘Sir Winston Churchill’ had been specially prepared for this most solemn of occasions, as was the BR Gangwayed Bogie Luggage Van which had been repainted to match the Pullman Cars that made up the remainder of the train.
