Description
R30015 Hornby Ruston & Hornsby – WM JEA – 88DS – No1
A small shunter that makes a big impact, the Ruston & Hornsby – WM JEA – 88DS – No1 locomotive is a lovely addition to any model railway layout. The model comes with a coupling blanking plate for the most secure and tidy finish, complementing the dark green livery. It is also DCC ready with a six-pin socket.
History
Ruston & Hornsby Works No. 262997 was supplied new to the West Midlands Joint Electricity Authority in January 1949 for its Birchills Power Station in Walsall. From September the same year, it moved to the newly-opened Walsall ‘B’ Power Station and, even after nationalisation of the industry in 1948 as the CEGB, continued to carry its WMJEA identity.
