Celebrate 200 years of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway line. Perhaps one of the most famous early railway lines, the L&MR was a pioneering powerhouse with an impressive list of railway firsts: the first inter-city railway in the world, the first railway to rely exclusively on steam power, the first to be an entirely dual track line throughout its length, the first to have a true signalling system, and the first to be fully timetabled.

Locomotion Models 2026 commemorative wagon range has been designed to celebrate the pioneering UK Railways. This wagon celebrates the L&MR line in yellow. Other wagons in the range include the Stockton and Darlington Railway as well as the Monkland and Kirkintilloch Railway.

Available in OO-Gauge for £22.50 or N-Gauge for £20.
