R30528 Hornby RailRoad EWS Class 90 Collingwood 90020

The Class 90 is a type of locomotive designed for mixed traffic work on the 25kV AC overhead network as replacements for aging electrics such as the Classes 81, 82, 83, 84 and 85 that dated back to the 1960s. 

Between 1987 and 1990, 50 examples were built at BREL Crewe and put into traffic on the West Coast Main Line during the latter years of British Rail and were equally at home on freight as they were on passenger traffic. Following privatisation of BR, the type served with various operators, such as Abellio Greater Anglia, Virgin Trains West Coast, GNER, and freight operators Freightliner and EWS. 

This RailRoad locomotive model of 90020 is depicted during its time as part of the EWS fleet when named ‘Collingwood’, in a striking red and yellow livery. The original locomotive is currently in short-term storage for potential further use by DB Cargo.
