<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. English Electric also supplied the generators and traction motors.</p> <p>The 10 units were delivered between 1951 and 1953, all were out-of-service by mid 1985.</p> <p>900 Lady Norrie is preserved by the National Rail Museum, she also ventured across into Victoria to appear at Spencer Street station for the Aus Steam 88 festival. 907 and 909 were operated by SteamRanger tourist railway until 1995.</p> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li> <p>Highly detailed Ready-to-Run HO gauge model</p> </li> <li> <p>Precisely tooled plastic body (ABS)</p> </li> <li> <p>Genuine Kadee scale head whisker coupler</p> </li> <li> <p>Separately applied handrails and detail parts</p> </li> <li> <p>5-Pole skew wound electric motor and dual flywheels</p> </li> <li> <p>All wheel drive and electrical pickup</p> </li> <li> <p>LED head and marker lights</p> </li> <li> <p>DCC Ready</p> </li> </ul>

<p>An oddity in the world of the electro diesel, the Class 73 was designed with the Southern Region in mind with a capability of picking up power via a third rail shoe as well as an ability to propel itself via an onboard diesel powerplant.</p><p>While the concept of a diesel electric was not new at the introduction of the Class 73, the idea of one that can pick up via a third rail as opposed to a pantograph was. While diesel electrics are semi common in the UK, the electro diesel is less so with only three classes representing the type, the 74, short lived 74 and recently introduced Class 88.</p><p>Examples were built in two batches, the first in 1962 and a subsequent run between 1965 and 1967, 49 of the class would be built in all. Confined almost entirely to the South, the locomotives would be introduced under BR before passing to a range of private operators following privatisation. 16 examples of the class have been withdrawn as of 2023, with 10 scrapped and 6 in storage. 6 locomotives have entered preservation and 27 are still in service.</p><p>Locomotive 73109 would be introduced as E6015 in January of 1966. After leaving BR service at the onset of privatisation the locomotive would be painted in the Network South East livery and named in honour of the memory of the Battle of Britain. The locomotive would keep this name, albeit in an updated format for the rest of its life. As of 2023, the locomotive is in service with GB Railfreight.</p><h3>Specifications</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>Finish: Painted</li> <li>Colour: Blue and Orange</li> <li>Gauge: OO</li> <li>DCC Status: Sound fitted</li> <li>Operator: GB Railfreight</li> <li>Designer: BR/EE</li> <li>Wheel Configuration: Bo-Bo</li> <li>Livery: GBRf Blue and Orange</li> <li>Minimum Curve (mm): Radius 2</li> <li>Motor: 3 Pole</li> <li>Number of Parts: 1</li> <li>Class: Class 73</li> <li>Buffer Type: Separate Plastic Buffers</li> <li>Coupling Type: Fixed Tension Lock</li> </ul>

<p>The Victorian Railways built ten K class engines at Newport Workshops between 1922/23, numbered 100 to 109. They were originally put to work on branchline goods services, however they soon came to work all types of trains.</p> <p>In 1940 they were renumbered to 140 to 149, later again they were rebuilt with Modified Front End. The models represent the original version and the renumbered version.</p> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li>Highly detailed Ready-to-Run HO gauge model</li> <li>Precisely tooled body</li> <li>Genuine Kadee scale head whisker coupler (Tender)</li> <li>Separately applied handrails and detail parts</li> <li>All wheel electrical pickup</li> <li>LED headlights and marker lights</li> <li>All models come standard with an MTC 21 pin motherboard</li> <li>Keep Alive Circuit</li> <li>Exclusive sound by DCCSound</li> <li>22" Minimum radius recommended</li> </ul>

<p>Southern locomotive 21C146 entered service in November 1946 having been built to Bulleid's air-smoothed 'Light Pacific' design. From new the locomotive was allocated to the Exmouth Junction Shed where it remained until moving to Sailsbury in May 1951 and Brighton the following month. Under British Railways the locomotive was renumbered 34046. In January 1959 the locomotive was rebuilt to a more conventional design along with many other members of the 'West Country' Class.</p><p>After re-entering service 'Braunton' was re-allocated to Bournemouth and remained there until being withdrawn from service in late 1965. Like many Southern locomotives scrappage was supposed to take place at Barry Scrapyard, however having stood there for many years the locomotive was selected for preservation, being returned to steam in 2007 after an extensive overhaul.</p><h3>Specifications</h3><ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 27.2</li> <li>Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 5</li> <li>Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 3.5</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:76 Scale 00 Gauge</li> <li>Finish: Painted</li> <li>Colour: Green</li> <li>DCC Status: DCC Ready 21 pin socket</li> <li>Operator: BR</li> <li>Designer: Oliver Bulleid</li> <li>Wheel Configuration: 4-6-2</li> <li>Livery: Braunton</li> <li>Minimum Curve (mm): Radius 2</li> <li>Motor: 5 Pole Skew wound</li> <li>Number of Parts: 1</li> </ul>

<p>The Victorian Railways built 53 K class engines at Newport Workshops over a 24 year period, commencing in 1922. The first series of 10 engines were progressively rebuilt in the 1940s to match the performance and visual appearance of the other class members. Later in 1946 the last 9 engines entered service, these engines had single cab side windows and the last 7 engines were fitted Boxpok style driving wheels.</p> <p>They were extremely versatile engines and could be found and all classes of trains, many worked until the late 1960s and several into the early 1970s.</p> <p>The Phoenix Reproductions model represents the class in it's later years of government service as well as several colourful liveries of early days preservation.</p> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li>Highly detailed Ready-to-Run HO gauge model</li> <li>Diecast boiler, frame and footplate</li> <li>Genuine Kadee scale head whisker coupler (Tender)</li> <li>Separately applied boiler details</li> <li>Working LED lights</li> <li>All models come standard with an MTC 21 pin motherboard</li> <li>Keep Alive Circuit</li> <li>DCC version with LokSound V5 decoder</li> <li>22" Minimum Radius</li> </ul>
