Charity Auction for a Great Gathering Set Ltd Ed No.002
Ahead of Saturday's 'Great Goodbye' event at NRM Shildon, we are offering you the chance to bid for a complete 'Great Gathering' set while helping a fantastic charity.
This 'Great Gathering' Collection has the Limited Edition No.002. All six locomotives are supplied with matching limited edition certificate numbers.
All proceeds from this eBay auction will go to the Toy Trust, the toy industry's charity, which raises money for charities helping disadvantaged and disabled children within the UK and abroad.
- R3196 - LNER 4-6-2 'Mallard' A4 Class
- R3197 - LNER 4-6-2 'Dominion Of Canada' A4 Class

For those who collect all six locomotives there is a further bonus. Enclosed with each locomotive will be a token so that once all of the six locomotives in the Collection have been obtained these tokens can be sent away, together with a payment of £10 (to cover postage and packing) so that a British-made specially commissioned 'The Great Gathering' display cabinet can be despatched allowing for all six locomotives that make up the collection to be displayed as an everlasting memory of 'The Great Gathering' - the last remaining LNER Gresley designed Class A4 locomotives on show and all in one place. This offer applies to UK Mainland only.
For many the thought of ever seeing two A4 locomotives together at any one time was probably the best that they could ever wish for but to have all six together was an impossible dream. That is, of course, until July 2013 when, thanks to the organisational strengths of the National Railway Museum, all six remaining LNER Class A4 locomotives were brought together at the National Railway Museum in York.
This special collection features a limited edition of only 510 units each of the six locomotives in their respective liveries as seen at the National Railway Museum.
