Hornby Train Accessory - GNER Cl.91 Cancer Research UK

Enhance your model train collection with the Hornby Train Accessory - GNER Class 91 Cancer Research UK. This stunning replica of the iconic 91117 locomotive is designed for enthusiasts who appreciate detail and quality. With its rich history, the GNER Class 91, Bo-Bo, locomotive first entered traffic in July 1990, originally named 'The Commonwealth Institute'. It later became a vital part of Great North Eastern Railway's fleet after the privatization of British Rail, earning its rightful place in the hearts of rail fans.

The Hornby model accurately reflects the era 10 design, showcasing the vinyl graphics that replaced traditional cast nameplates during GNER's service. Both the names 'City of Leeds' and 'Cancer Research UK' adorned the locomotive during its service, but only the vinyl graphics represent those eras.

Hornby GNER, Class 91, Bo-Bo, 91117 'Cancer Research UK' - Era 10

91117 entered traffic during July 1990 as 91017, carrying the name 'The Commonwealth Institute' during BR Intercity service between July 1993 and November 1996, when the locomotive became part of Great North Eastern Railway's fleet at privatisation. In an unpopular move with both staff and enthusiasts alike, GNER decided to abandon the use of cast nameplates in favour of vinyl graphics and so both names featured during the GNER period, 'City of Leeds' (October 1999 to December 2001) and 'Cancer Research UK' (February 2002 to February 2009), were never featured on cast nameplates.
