Summary
A green painted metal model railway locomotive. The boiler is green with a black smokebox and chimney and a silver coloured dome and green safety valve. On either side of the engine is 'LNER/460' painted in gold and red, with the keyhole on the left-hand side. The green painted cab has an open doorway on either side with green and silver handrails. Near these in gold and red is a lion and unicorn emblem. Two metal control rods project through the back of the cab. Inside the cab is a green painted seat. At both ends of the chassis is a red buffer beam with buffers and a central coupling. A handrail runs along both sides and over the front of the boiler. There are two metal steps at either side under the cab and at the front of the engine. The locomotive has four metal wheels, and between these is a metal block containing the clockwork motor.
