R30231 Queen's Platinum Jubilee modelIn a move that sparked a global response in 2022, the Severn Valley Railway commissioned the temporary repainting and renaming of SR West Country Class 34027 ?Taw Valley?. A head-turning purple livery was chosen to mark the 70th anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II?s reign and her Platinum Jubilee year.Renamed by public vote, ?Elizabeth II? commemorates the longest reign in history of a British Monarch, and as further recognition of this historic milestone, the locomotive has also been renumbered as ?70?.In partnership with the Severn Valley Railway, Hornby has produced this limited-edition representation of the locomotive. Now sold out, this is a chance to own a special piece of model railway history.
