Hornby's Terrific Terrier

This is a Hornby Collector's Club exclusive model of BR 'Terrier' 0-6-0T, Nº 32635 'Brighton Works', Catalogue Nº: R3849.

I recently acquired this delightful version of the ever-popular Hornby 'Terrier' range of locos, simply because I loved it and liked the colour too!

She is tiny and will probably not see a great deal of use on the railway but she will be fitted with a non-sound decoder and will definitely see the occasional action.

Of course, these locos were famous for their use on the Havant to Hayling Island branch line that, sadly, closed on 2nd September 1963.

These locos were used because the Hayling Bridge, which carried the line across Langstone Harbour (see below), was not strong enough to accept anything heavier.
