0-4-2 Lion
The Lion Locomotive was built in 1838 by Todd, Kitson and Laird of Leeds. It ran on the Liverpool to Manchester railway until 1859. It was bought by the LMS company in 1920 and restored to full working oder. It later gained fame by starring in the British comedy film called 'The Titfield Thunderbolt'.
The model is a sample from my forthcoming CD2 of Historic Locomotives.
