HORNBY: Following the closure of the Canadian Hornby importer in 2023 we have contacted Hornby numerous times to secure continued supply of Hornby products to supply our Canadian customers. Unfortunately Hornby steadfastly refuse to communicate with us. Regretfully we have concluded that Hornby has no desire to support the Canadian market. As stocks of Hornby products are exhausted we are replacing these products with products from other manufacturers.

GWR Shunters Truck 40148 Acton

These small wagons were provided for shunters in the GWR to provide a safe riding vehicle plus a mobile store for shunting poles, brake sticks, wheel chocks and spare lamps.

The truck also provided a useful spacer between the locomotive and wagons being shunted, so wagons could be positioned in or collected from inside a goods shed without the locomotive having to enter the building.

This model is finished in the GWR goods grey livery as a truck allocated to the Acton marshaling yard on the western edge of London.
