Description
‘Met 1’ played a central role in January 2013’s 150th anniversary celebrations of the Tube when it brought steam back to London Underground’s tunnels for the first time since 1971. As a consequence of celebrating the opening of the world’s first underground railway, No. 1 challenged the likes of Flying Scotsman or Thomas The Tank Engine for the title 'The World’s Most Famous Steam Engine'.
As No. 1 was essentially a one-off locomotive, it has some unique features and detail differences, which is why our model depicts just No. 1 and not the Met’s ‘E’ class. That said, we have discovered that classmate No. L48 (formerly Metropolitan No. 81) was close enough in detail to be able to offer that too.
'Met 1' has the high specification one would expect from a Rapido Trains UK model: fine detail, a smooth and powerful mechanism, flickering firebox, Next18 decoder socket and factory-fitted sound speaker.
There are four model to choose from and they are all fully licensed from Transport for London.
