<h3>Early History of the 82 Class</h3> <p>March 23rd, 1994 heralded a new era in freight rail operations in Australia. On this day, Clyde Engineering in association with General Motors EMD released the first of fifty eight ‘82' Class locomotives from Clyde’s Mittagong plant.</p> <p>These locomotives along with their imported cousins, the EMD Canadian built 90 class, marked a new beginning in the way a locomotive fleet was operated and maintained.</p> <p>Whilst these locomotives were operated by Freight Rail (a business unit of State Rail), they are actually supplied and serviced by Clyde at their Kooragang Island maintenance facility. This leasing arrangement was known as ‘Ready Power’</p> <p>Under the terms of this contract, Clyde would be responsible for the overall up keep and maintenance of these units for a period of fifteen years. Although minor servicing and provisioning was undertaken by Freight Rail, major servicing and repairs was completed by Clyde.</p> <p>With the introduction of these locomotives a wide spread reduction of the NSW locomotive fleet had begun. The first casualties were the veteran fleet of 44 class Alco’s, then the 45 and 442 classes along with the Mark I 48 class. Further reductions to the locomotive occurred with the withdrawals of the 422 and 49 classes.</p> <p>This overall fleet reduction reduced the average age of Freight Rail’s locomotive fleet from over twenty five year old to approximately ten.</p> <p>These locomotives have travelled all over NSW and have ventured into Queensland and Victoria on intermodal freight services, and in South Australia on the Leigh Creek coal service. They are currently seen on both coal and wheat services all over the state, through Sydney, and the occasional local trip train around the Sydney metropolitan area.</p> <p>On Track Models is pleased bring you this highly desired locomotive as a highly detailed model in HO Scale.</p> <h3>82 Class Improvements</h3> <ul> <li>ESU designed PCB with two sugar cube speakers</li> <li>Independent working headlights, white and red marker lights (DCC only)</li> <li>See through Dynamic blower housing with box</li> <li>Improved one-piece MU cables</li> <li>Improved air hoses</li> <li>Improved axles bushes for better electrical pick up</li> <li>Factory Painted &amp; Decorated in new PN livery</li> </ul> <h3>82 Class Model Locomotive Standard Features</h3> <ul> <li>Ready-to-Run</li> <li>Scale AMRA Profile Metal Wheels</li> <li>All wheel drive - All wheel pick up</li> <li>18" Recommended minimum radius</li> <li>Highly detailed bogies with separately applied parts</li> <li>Easy access to the DCC 21 pin plug</li> <li>Easy body removal</li> <li>Quality 5 pole skew wound motor</li> <li>Die cast metal chassis with recesses for twin speakers</li> <li>Twin brass flywheels</li> <li>Etched metal detail parts</li> <li>Separately applied metal parts</li> <li>Genuine Kadee Metal Couplers</li> <li>Detailed cab interrior</li> <li>Operational headlights, foglights, &amp; marker lights</li> <li>Compatible with Code 70, 83, &amp; 100 Rail</li> <li>Accurate Paint Schemes &amp; Printing</li> <li>Factory Painted &amp; Decorated</li> </ul> <br> <h3>Photos shown are representative of the finished model.

<p>The 3F 'Jinty' was an LMS tank engine inspired by the design of a Midland Railway designed tank engine. Henry Fowler saw potential in the Midland Railway 2441 Class which itself would prove so dependable that they would last in service until 1966. The Jinty was a simple design with inside cylinders and belpaire firebox that allowed the locomotive to reach up to 60mph. Locomotives were fitted with steam heating for working short passenger trains, which was a far cry from their initial brief as a shunting engine.</p><p>The 3F would be the main shunting and tank engine of the LMS and would find itself serving all over the UK when the class came into the ownership of BR in 1948. The Jintys would prove to be useful engines even after larger freight engines would be introduced with some examples lasting until 1967 in service. 9 examples of the class have been preserved including the last to be withdrawn.</p><p>An iconic user of the 3F class was the fairly unique Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway. The SDJR became a part of the LMS in 1923 when the grouping act came into effect however it would not have its identity absorbed into that of the LMS. The SDJR would run its locomotives in either its time honoured 'Prussian Blue' livery with SDJR lettering or SDJR Black. The SDJR took delivery of seven examples of the locomotive in 1928. These locomotives would only stay at the railway for a couple of years, being absorbed into the LMSR in 1930 and redistributed.</p><p>Locomotive 25 entered SDJR service in 1928 before being taken into LMS stock in 1930 along with the rest of the class. The locomotive would be renumbered twice in fairly quick succession first to 7156 in 1930 and then to 7316 in 1934. In BR service the locomotive would be numbered 47316 and would remain in service until withdrawal and scrapping in 1962.</p><p>The Hornby Jinty is fitted with a 3 pole motor and simple gearing, proving to be a reliable runner on any layout.</p><h3>Specifications</h3><ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 11</li> <li>Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 4</li> <li>Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 3.5</li> <li>Item Weight - Without Packaging: 0.18</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:76 Scale 00 Gauge</li> <li>Finish: Painted</li> <li>Colour: Black</li> <li>Gauge: OO</li> <li>Operator: S&amp;DJR</li> <li>Designer: Henry Fowler</li> <li>Wheel Configuration: 0-6-0</li> <li>Livery: SDJR Black</li> <li>Minimum Curve (mm): Radius 2</li> <li>Motor: 3 Pole</li> <li>Number of Parts: 1</li> <li>Buffer Type: Fixed Metal Buffers</li> <li>Coupling Type: Fixed Tension Lock</li> </ul>

<p>One of the newer Class 66 operating in the UK, the Beacon Rail owned locomotive first entered the country through the Channel Tunnel clad in plain grey livery at the end of 2012. After reaching GB Railfreight the livery was updated to include orange GBRF lettering, with minor modifications occurring to ready the locomotive for service in the UK. The locomotive received the number 66748. The grey and orange GBRf livery remained until April 2015 when the locomotive was repainted into the more common blue and orange GBRf livery.</p> <h3>Specification</h3> <ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 28</li> <li>Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 5</li> <li>Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 3.5</li> <li>Item Weight - Without Packaging: 0.42</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:76 Scale 00 Gauge</li> <li>Finish: Painted</li> <li>Colour: Grey</li> <li>DCC Status: DCC Ready 21 pin socket</li> <li>Operator: GBRf</li> <li>Designer: Electro-Motive Diesel</li> <li>Livery: GBRF Grey</li> <li>Minimum Curve (mm): Radius 2</li> <li>Motor: 5 Pole Skew wound</li> <li>Number of Parts: 1</li> <li>Class: Class 66</li> </ul>

<p>Introduced to service as D212 in May 1959 and the third of the production series to be delivered, 'Aureol' was officially named in 1960. By 1974 when the locomotive was re-numbered 40012 under TOPS the locomotive's nameplates had been removed, yet despite this the locomotive's name was painted onto the bodyside before 1985 withdrawal. Reinstated in 1985 to assist with the remodeling of Crewe Station, restricted to a top speed of 35mph, and given the departmental number 97407.</p> <h3>Specification</h3> <ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 27.3</li> <li>Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 5</li> <li>Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 3.5</li> <li>Item Weight - Without Packaging: 0.41</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:76 Scale 00 Gauge</li> <li>Finish: Painted</li> <li>Colour: Blue</li> <li>DCC Status: DCC Ready 8 pin socket</li> <li>Operator: BR Departmental</li> <li>Designer: English Electric</li> <li>Livery: BR Departmental</li> <li>Minimum Curve (mm): Radius 2</li> <li>Motor: 5 Pole Skew wound</li> <li>Number of Parts: 1</li> </ul>

<p>Arguably the first of the streamliners, and Australian built mainline locomotives. The SAR 900 class diesel-electric locomotive were designed and built in-house by the South Australia Railways, they used English Electric V16 engines.
