'The Great Gathering' Collection - All sets now sold

Update 5:50pm 26th February - All our Great Gathering Sets are now sold

On 3rd July 2013 the National Railway Museum in York celebrated the coming together of the last remaining six Class A4 locomotives under the aptly named title 'The Great Gathering'.

The six remaining A4 locomotives are "Mallard", a permanent resident at the NRM, "Dominion of Canada" on loan from the Canadian Railway Museum, "Dwight D. Eisenhower" on loan from the National Railroad Museum, USA, together with the privately owned "Union of South Africa", "Bittern" and "Sir Nigel Gresley".

All six locomotives returned to the NRM in October and can be seen one last time together at Locomotion, Shildon in February 2014.

The Hornby 'Great Gathering' Collection includes each of the six locomotives in their respective liveries as seen at the National Railway Museum. When you order all six you will be entitled to claim a specially commissioned glass display cabinet so that the models can be seen as a complete collection.

We have a small number of complete 'Great Gathering' sets available to buy direct from Hornby on the evening of Wednesday 26th February. Each set of six locomotives will be supplied with matching limited edition certificate numbers.

How to order...

All out Great Gathering sets are now sold.
