Hornby B1 Class 61306 'Mayflower' – BR Apple Green | OO Gauge | One:One Collection
Celebrate a true steam legend with the beautifully detailed Hornby model of B1 Class No. 61306 ‘Mayflower’ – part of the prestigious One:One Collection and finished in vivid BR Apple Green.
Designed by Edward Thompson for mixed-traffic duties, the B1 locomotives were a backbone of British Railways, seamlessly switching between express passenger and freight work. No. 61306, built in 1948 by the North British Locomotive Company, served proudly across Yorkshire before making history in 1967 as the final B1 in service.
Lovingly preserved and restored, 'Mayflower' continues to inspire enthusiasts today. This model captures the engine’s striking post-overhaul livery and includes modern features like DCC readiness with a 21-pin socket, compatible with the advanced HM7000 Bluetooth® & DCC sound decoder.
