Hornby Bournemouth Belle Train Pack R2819
This is a Pullman train pack with a supplementary coach pack. There are a loco and
three 12-wheeled Hornby Pullman cars in the train pack and a further three 12-wheeled cars
in the coach pack. This is the first time that we have seen the new H Class Pullman cars
with their 6-wheeled bogies and they are superbly detailed. The train pack contains
'Britannia' Class 70009 Alfred the Great as its motive power and Pullman third
class parlour Car No.96 Pullman first class parlour car Malaga and Pullman
third class brake car Car No.94
.
The Bournemouth Belle originally ran between Waterloo and Bournemouth Central and was started by the Southern Railway in 1931. Later it stopped at Southampton and terminated at Bournemouth West. With the exception of a break during the Second World War, it ran until 1967. The train pack shows the train as it would have looked in the early 1950s.
