The new locomotives had many innovations, such as chain-driven valve gear that was lubricated by means of an oil bath, electric lighting, one piece Firth-Brown driving wheels, and the distinctive air-smooth casing. The unusual French-style number 21C4 was replaced by the BR number 35004 in October 1949, following nationalisation of the railways. Rebuilt in July 1958, it was eventually withdrawn from Bournemouth shed in October 1965 and scrapped by Cohens at Eastleigh shed in 1966.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's in the Box?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cul\u003e\r\u003cli\u003e1x Model Steam Locomotive\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003e1x Accessory Pack\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003e1x Pipette\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003e1x Instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HORNBY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45254112477207,"sku":"R30560SS","price":599.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/6637\/4935\/files\/R30560SS.jpg?v=1782873857","url":"https:\/\/www.hobbyvault.com.au\/products\/hornby-1-76-sr-merchant-navy-class-cunard-white-star-line-21c4-with-steam-generator-and-sound","provider":"Hobby Vault Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
