Class 50 Hoover
The 5" gauge Class 50 Hoover model was designed with The English Electric Company's original brief in mind. The Class 50 Group allowed us access to Class 50 Ark Royal in order to undertake an accurate survey. The result was our highly detailed model locomotive. Our Class 50 matches our Class 52 for power and style, available from £3,250.
