Silver King


JOHN-358390

Recommended Posts

When I was 9 (December 1956) I received a Hornby Dublo train set for Christmas comprising of the "Silver King" loco, track and carriages. I now have a 00 DCC layout and would love to add the "Silver King" loco to my collection of locomotives.

Does anyone know if it is available anywhere and adaptable to run on DCC track?

I saw the "Silver King" advertised in the TT:120 bundle offer which stirred nostalgic thoughts and took me back to my childhood.

For OO Gauge:

R3174 is the Silver Jubilee Train Pack containing Silver King and Coaches (unsure of catalog date)

R3808 is Silver King (from 2015 catalog)


Both have 8-Pin DCC sockets and are in the Silver/Grey LNER Livery - which unfortunately does not match the BR Green version that was released in the Hornby Dublo Range in the 1950s

If you want a BR Green example, you might have to get one of the other A4s and then rename + renumber it (some shops offer a service to do this for you)
