<p>The LMS 2P class locomotive, designed by Sir Henry Fowler for light passenger work, had its origins in the Midland Railway's 4-4-0 483 Class designed by Samuel Johnson and modified by Richard Deeley. Introduced post-grouping in 1928 the 2Ps dimensions were modified from the 482 class and the boiler mountings reduced.</p> <p>Between 1928 and 1931, 128 2P locomotives were produced at either Crewe of Derby Locomotive Works. The locomotive layout was a basic and well proven two inside frame cylinder design, characteristic of the Midland Railway's design philosophy.</p> <p>In addition to being employed by the LMS, three of the locomotives, numbers 44-46 were allocated from new to the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway (S&amp;DJR) however once the LMS assumed responsibility for the motive power on the line in 1930 they were absorbed into the LMS fleet as numbers 633-635.</p> <p>Where loads dictated, 2Ps were often run double headed primarily as the LMS had a shortage of larger heavy duty or express locomotives to serve such services.</p> <p>Typically painted in basic clack livery by the LMS, other colour schemes did prevail. The S&amp;DJR locomotive were painted in Prussian Blue and in later BR days the locomotives were appropriately lined out for mixed traffic working in accordance with British Railway policy.</p> <p>Their use on the steeply graded S&amp;DJR between Bournemouth West and Bath Green Park was a particularly interesting development, given their larger 6ft 6½in diameter driving wheels were not considered ideal for such lines.</p> <p>All but two of the locomotives would make it into BR service with the final 15 scrapings taking place in 1962. No members of the class were preserved and as of 2022 there is no new build project underway for the 2P.</p> <p>Locomotive number 46 was delivered straight to the Somerset and Dorset Joint railway in 1928, being painted into the 'Prussian Blue' livery with SDJR lettering. After amalgamation onto the LMS fleet in 1930 the locomotive would be renumbered to 580, and then to 635 in 1934.</p> <p>On entry to BR service the locomotive would become 40635. Withdrawn in 1961, the locomotive would be stored at Llandudno Junction throughout 1962 before being scrapped in June 1963.</p> <p>The Hornby 2P is a perfect tender engine for someone who has only ever had tank engines. This model is fitted with a three pole motor and gearing allowing for good slow speed performance. The models driving wheels are fitted with traction tyres increasing the tractive effort of the model allowing for more wagons to be hauled.</p> <h3>Specification</h3> <ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 25</li> <li>Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 5</li> <li>Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 3.5</li> <li>Item Weight - Without Packaging: 0.25</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:76 Scale 00 Gauge</li> <li>Finish: Painted</li> <li>Colour: Blue</li> <li>Gauge: OO</li> <li>DCC Status: DCC Ready 8 pin socket</li> <li>Operator: S&amp;DJR</li> <li>Designer: Sir Henry Fowler</li> <li>Wheel Configuration: 4-4-0</li> <li>Livery: SDJR 'Prussian' Blue</li> <li>Minimum Curve (mm): Radius 2</li> <li>Motor: 5 Pole Skew wound</li> <li>Number of Parts: 1</li> <li>Buffer Type: Fixed Metal Buffers</li> <li>Coupling Type: NEM Tension Lock</li> </ul>

<p>One of only four among the eight hundred and forty-two Stanier ‘Black 5s' to carry a name during their operational service, 45157 ‘Glasgow Highlander’ maintains a sense of distinctiveness and identity among such a prolifically made and serviceable Class. Eighteen ‘Black 5s' have been preserved, with twelve of them being purchased directly from BR for preservation. Sadly, ‘Glasgow Highlander’ was not one of them.</p>

<p>Entering service from the mid 1956 onwards these 10 English Electric 750 HP shunting locomotives were numbered from 800 to 809. They were predominantly found working around Port Adelaide and in particular Gilman Yard. Later and from time to time they could also be found working Passenger trains around the suburbs. They remained in service until the late 80s and some units through until 1991, all except 801 were scrapped. When AN commenced operations the class leader 800 was renumbered to 810.</p> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li>Highly detailed Ready-to-Run HO gauge model</li> <li>Precisely tooled plastic body (ABS)</li> <li>Genuine Kadee scale head whisker coupler</li> <li>Separately applied handrails and detail parts</li> <li>5-Pole skew wound electric motor and dual flywheels</li> <li>All wheel drive and electrical pickup</li> <li>LED head and marker lights, body mounted</li> <li>All models come standard with an MTC 21 pin motherboard</li> <li>Exclusive sound by DCCSound</li> </ul>

<h3>SDS Models HO T411 VR Blue &amp; Gold T5 Series T Class Locomotive</h3> <p>The Victorian Railways received their second series of T class locomotives from late 1959, these were mechanically similar to the first series but featured a new raised height operating cab layout.

<p>78047 entered traffic at Hawick Shed on 25 October 1955 where the locomotive spent most of its lifetime working, even deputizing for failed Class 27, 40 and 45 diesels on the Edinburgh-Carlisle route post-1961.</p> <p>In 1966, once local passenger and freight services were discontinued or taken over by diesel traction, 78047 moved over to Bathgate mainly to operate mineral trip freights from local collieries and to haul the occasional enthusiasts' special. Reallocated to St. Margaret's prior to withdrawal, 78047 was eventually scrapped in January 1967.</p> <h3>Specification</h3> <ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 21.5</li> <li>Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 5</li> <li>Item Width - Without Packaging (cm: 3.5</li> <li>Item Weight - Without Packaging: 0.3</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:76 Scale 00 Gauge</li> <li>License: No</li> <li>Finish: Painted</li> <li>Colour: Black</li> <li>Gauge: OO</li> <li>DCC Status: DCC Ready 8 pin socket</li> <li>Operator: British Railways</li> <li>Designer: Robert Riddles</li> <li>Wheel Configuration: 2-6-0</li> <li>Livery: Late Crest</li> <li>Minimum Curve (mm): Radius 2</li> <li>Motor: 5 Pole Skew wound</li> <li>Number of Parts: 1</li> </ul>

The engineering marvel that is the C38 Class locomotive, embodies the legacy of Clyde Engineering and the rich history of railroading.</p> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li>1/160 N Scale<br> </li> <li>DC Coreless Motor<br> </li> <li>DCC Sound Ready<br> </li> <li>Working Headlamp<br> </li> <li>Swivel Bogies on Tender<br> </li> <li>Accurately reproduced motion mechanism<br> </li> <li>Magne-MaticTM #1015 Couplers<br> </li> <li>Min track radius 10.5in</li> </ul> <!---->

<p>The Class 08 will go down in history as one of the most dependable shunters ever built. While all Class 08 shunters were built by British Railways they are actually based on an earlier LMS design. With 996 of these shunters built between 1953 and 1962, they are still a common sight at mainline yards and sidings, and a common sight on heritage railways, with the number preserved almost outnumbering those currently in service.</p><p>With no thought given to aesthetics, the Class 08 was a utilitarian workhorse of the railways, with its longevity speaking volumes to its performance. The locomotive would have a cab at the number one end and equipment housed in the long nose extending towards the number two end.</p><p>While not intended for mainline duties, some of the class in the south could be seen trundling up the mainline if there was a short distance between yards that stock needed to be moved between, assuming no express services needed to occupy the track at the time.</p><p>While perhaps recognised as GBRf No.4, this example of the Class 08 shunter was officially known by the BR TOPS number 08818, a number that it was given in February 1974. Initially wearing the number D3986, the Derby built locomotive would serve with BR before being transferred to EWS at the onset of privatisation.</p><p>Purchased by Harry Needle Railroad Company in 2000, the locomotive was named ‘Molly’. As of 2024, HNRC lease the locomotive to GBRf, where the locomotive is still in service.</p><h3>Specifications</h3><ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 12.4</li> <li>Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 5</li> <li>Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 3.5</li> <li>Item Weight - Without Packaging: 0.2</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:76 Scale 00 Gauge</li> <li>Finish: Painted</li> <li>Colour: Purple &amp; Yellow</li> <li>Gauge: OO</li> <li>DCC Status: DCC Ready 8 pin socket</li> <li>Operator: GB Railfreight</li> <li>Designer: BREL</li> <li>Wheel Configuration: 0-6-0</li> <li>Livery: GBRf Blue and Orange</li> <li>Minimum Curve (mm): Radius 1</li> <li>Motor: 5 Pole Skew wound</li> <li>Number of Parts: 1</li> <li>Class: Class 08</li> <li>Buffer Type: Sprung Metal Buffers</li> <li>Coupling Type: NEM Tension Lock</li> </ul>
