Liverpool & Manchester Railway 'Lion'

Rapido Trains UK is producing the famous Liverpool & Manchester Railway 0-4-2 in two versions: one is as it starred in the LMR’s centenary celebrations in 1930 (after its rebuild at Crewe Works) and then in its 1980s condition. These have some period specific details that will not be found on the Titfield Thunderbolt train pack version.

All versions feature die-cast metal and injection moulded plastic construction, a high quality motor and mechanism, Next18 decoder socket, NEM coupler pockets and a coupler that enables it to couple to other historic coaches from other manufacturers.
