YEAR INFORMATION
1995 The Class 92s are at present being built for Railfreight Distribution and the SNCF (French Railway System). They have been manufactured so they can function at both ends of the Channel Tunnel. State of the art design and engineering has made it possible for the 92s to operate from four power systems and at 3 million per locomotive makes them the most expensive locomotives ever built in the UK. The Hornby model represents the first of the initial batch and incorporates a mass of body, roof and chassis detail.
1996 The Class 92s have been designed and built to function at both ends of the Channel Tunnel. The innovative construction allow them to operate using four different power systems. The Hornby model not only includes many separately fitted detail components but also incorporates lights that operate in the direction of travel, plus an unbelievable degree of decoration clarity.
