Runs well and smooth, great addition to the railway ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ detail and finish is superb *by R***X on 30 November 2022* The detail is superb. Price reasonable and order processed quickly and efficiently. A beautiful addition to my steam locomotive collection. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Annoying Click *by R***F on 21 February 2021* Beautifully made replica of the Mallard steam engine. Unfortunately one of the coupling rods was striking the engine casing thus creating a most annoying click......hence the four stars. At the price paid, I would expect Hornby quality control to have picked this up. Shame as Hornby products are overall on the expensive side. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hornby Gauge RailRoad LNER BR Mallard Class A4 Locomotive, Green1128-2 - Hornby R4312 RailRoad Pullman Parlour 00 Gauge Coach - Hornby R4313 RailRoad Pullman Brake 00 Gauge Coach --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/52472281-hornby-00-gauge-era-3-4468-lner-mallard-a4-class](https://www.desertcart.us/products/52472281-hornby-00-gauge-era-3-4468-lner-mallard-a4-class) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
