Hornby London Carriers International, Sentinel, 0-4-0, 'Jean' - Era 8 OO Gauge R30009

London Carriers International, Sentinel, 0-4-0, 'Jean' - Era 8 Over the years, as these locomotives were retired, many found their way on to preserved railways where they continue to provide stalwart service. This locomotive has had various roles and owners over the years before ending up in the hands of London Carriers International, based at Paddock Wood in Kent. London Carriers International operated a large rail fitted warehouse and used their sentinel to move goods dropped off by BR trains into and around the ½ mile long building. Supposedly the exhausts produced at start-up regularly set off the buildings fire alarms and so the locomotive was quickly sold on to the East Lancashire Railway.   SPECIFICATIONS: Item Length - 9.8cm Finish: Painted Colour: Blue Gauge: OO DCC Status: DCC Ready 4 pin socket Operator: London Carriers Designer: Sentinel Wheel Configuration: 0-4-0 Livery: London Carriers blue Minimum Curve (mm): Radius 1 Motor: 3 Pole
