Availability of Merchant Navy class locomotive livery and air smoothed casing design combination

[loco lover]

Does anyone know if Hornby have produced a merchant Navy class locomotive in air-smoothed casing design and Southern Railway malachite green livery, as per the photograph below?

 

[Trains4U]

Yes

R3434 “Channel Packet” and

R3435 “Royal Mail”

 

expect to pay £230-£275 if you manage to locate a second hand one though.

Not with the standard smoke deflector font end yet. 
1 and 3 have both the original ‘widow peak’ front.

Was that the modification you were doing to one last week?

Yes, but staying in Black here is a quick snap of progress..

I am waiting for an MN in summer 1947 condition as I could/would have seen it with a diverted boat train going through Penge East.  I was a 3 year old and my cousin who babysat me often would take me down the street (Mosslea Road) to the station watch the trains. I don't remember it of course other than a faint vision of a smoking big green machine at speed.

 

I have a Channel Packet packed away until I can clear the bookcase in my train room for display.

May I sincerely thank all of you who responded to my query. I will wait until Hornby bring out one in malachite green SR livery with the standard front-end as modelled by Graham. Click submit reply
