Hornby M7 Class 0-4-4T No. 30038 – BR Malachite Green (OO Gauge) | Limited Edition
Celebrate British railway history in miniature with this rare Hornby model of the iconic M7 Class 0-4-4T locomotive, No. 30038 – a standout in a never-before-produced BR Malachite Green livery.
Originally designed by Dugald Drummond, the M7 class was prized for its punchy acceleration and reliable power, making it a workhorse for suburban and branch line services. Though eventually retired from express duties due to high-speed instability, the M7 earned its place as a station pilot – and in this case, a true collector's piece.
Hornby honors the legacy of No. 30038 with a beautifully detailed model that’s DCC-ready and finished in an exclusive lined Malachite Green, as worn by only four M7s during post-war Waterloo service.
