Hornby R30397 BR (Late) - Class J52 Tank Locomotive - '68846'

History from Hornby's website:

This locomotive entered service as one of Henry Ivatt’s ‘J13’ Class as No. 1247, having been built under contract by Sharp, Stewart in 1899. It became LNER ‘J52’ 4247 at the Grouping in 1923, and later 8846 under the LNER’s 1946 renumbering scheme. 

It entered BR service as 68846 and was withdrawn from King’s Cross ‘Top Shed’ in May 1959, at which point it became the first preserved locomotive to be bought directly from BR when it was acquired by Captain W.G. Smith. It is now part of the National Collection and restored as GNR 1247.
