Frank Hornby’s first British made Hornby ‘O’ gauge locomotives were produced in tinplate and assembled using nuts and bolts at the Meccano Ltd. factory situated in Binns Road, Liverpool. The first locomotive design of this construction was a simple generic style 0-4-0 locomotive using a clockwork mechanism and connected to a simple 4 wheel tender.

The No.1 0-4-0 Hornby ‘O’ Gauge locomotive design featured cylinders and connecting rods, plus brass handrail knobs. Also, all variants were fitted with cylinders with the bodies having an enamelled finish.

Only 100 of these ‘O’ Gauge highly collectable but functioning limited edition models have been exclusively produced in four liveries, reminiscent of the original ‘O’ Gauge tinplate locomotive produced by Frank Hornby in 1920, with each model authenticated by an individually signed and numbered certificate.
