2007 saw the return to the skies of the only air-worthy Vulcan Bomber following two years of restoration by the Vulcan to the Sky Trust. XH558 delighted aviation enthusiasts at air shows all over the country before being permanently grounded at the end of 2015. In 2016, a unique relationship was formed between DRS and the trust which culminated in the naming of a Class 37 locomotive (37424 - built at the Vulcan Foundry in Newton-le-Willows by English Electric) as 37558 'Avro Vulcan XH558' To celebrate the synergy between these two outstanding examples of British innovation and engineering prowess from the late 1950s, Bachmann are proud to produce this special edition collectors pack which will be sure to delight railway and aviation fans alike.
