<p>The story of the Princess Coronation Class is one of split personalities and purposes. The original streamlined form of the class arose from tests on Stanier's development of the Princess Royal class locomotives. When the opportunity to produce five conventional versions of the Coronation Pacific as a comparison to the streamlined version arose, Stanier was quoted as saying, 'They can have their streamliners if they b***** want them, but we will also build them five proper ones' such was his lack of interest in a streamlined locomotive specifically.Those first five conventional locomotives were 6230 Duchess of Buccleuch to 6234 Duchess of Abercorn, colloquially known as Duchesses, after the first of this sub-class. Appearing in 1938 with a single chimney and without smoke deflectors, many purists regard these as the finest Pacific locomotives ever produced. The next four Duchesses to appear were 6249-6252 in 1944 and they emerged from works with a double chimney.Originally ordered as streamlined, the demands of maintaining the streamlined form exceeded the cost savings in coal and so they emerged from works without the casing, but with streamlined tenders (which had been completed before that decision was taken). In 1946 the next three Duchesses, 6253-6255, differed in appearance again, this time the curved fall plate at the front was replaced by a split platform and smoke deflectors were fitted.The process of de-streamlining the remaining engines began with 6235 City of Birmingham in April 1946, with 6243 City of Lancaster being the last in May 1949. Locomotives that had streamlining removed had a distinctive slant to the leading edge of the top of the smokebox, where this was previously hidden by the panels and designed to accommodate them. Eventually the raked smokeboxes were replaced with conventional smokeboxes, so that by late 1958 the majority of the fleet showed a similar appearance for the first time.Duchess of Abercorn entered LMS service in 1938 in the LMS Crimson Lake livery. Before nationalisation however the locomotive is said to have been painted into a solid blue-grey colour, the only such example to allegedly receive this paint job however no photos confirm this. Duchess of Abercorn would then go on to be painted in two different liveries under BR and be renumbered from 6234 to 46234. The locomotive would be scrapped at Crewe in June of 1963.</p> <h3>Specification</h3> <ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 19.7</li> <li>Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 3.7</li> <li>Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 2.5</li> <li>Item Weight - Without Packaging: 0.16</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:120 Scale</li> <li>Finish: Painted</li> <li>Colour: Green</li> <li>Gauge : TT</li> <li>DCC Status: HM7000 Fitted - With Sound</li> <li>Operator: British Railway</li> <li>Designer:Sir William Stanier</li> <li>Wheel Configuration: 4-6-2</li> <li>Livery:BR Green</li> <li>Minimum Curve (mm): Radius 2</li> <li>Motor: 5 Pole Skew wound</li> <li>Number of Parts: 1</li> <li>Class: Princess Coronation Class</li> </ul>

<p>The British Rail Class 121 is a single-car double-ended diesel multiple unit. 16 driving motor vehicles were built from 1960, numbered 55020–55035. These were supplemented by ten single-ended trailer vehicles, numbered 56280–56289 (later renumbered 54280–54289). They have a top speed of 70 mph, with slam-doors, and vacuum brakes. The driving motor vehicles were nicknamed "Bubble Cars" by some enthusiasts (a nickname endorsed and made official by final passenger service operator Chiltern Railways).</p> <p>The Class 121 vehicles were introduced in 1960 for use on the Western Region of British Rail. They were used on various lightly used branch lines in Cornwall including the Looe branch, the branch lines off the main line in the Thames Valley including the Greenford Branch Line, the Bridport branch line (closed 1975), and the Severn Beach line in Bristol. In 1978 all of the units were still allocated to Western Region depots. The Class 121 is Britain's longest serving DMU, operating in passenger service for 57 years until 2017.</p> <p>977723 started out life as 55021 under BR. In 1994 the unit was photographed wearing the Network South East livery with its departmental number of 977723 where it served as a route learning unit as well as a sandite application vehicle. The locomotive would wear the Railtrack livery This Railroad model features a simplified running mechanism including a three pole motor and more of a direct drive to the motor, as such it is an ideal starter model. The model has an 8 pin DCC socket for those who which to run the model on a digital layout and a more robust body is the perfect way to avoid damage to the model as a beginner. </p> <h3>Specification</h3> <ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 26.5</li> <li>Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 5</li> <li>Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 3.5</li> <li>Item Weight - Without Packaging: 0.35</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:76 Scale 00 Gauge</li> <li>Finish: Painted</li> <li>Colour: Multiple</li> <li>Gauge: OO</li> <li>DCC Status: DCC Ready 8 pin socket</li> <li>Operator: Railtrack</li> <li>Designer: Pressed Steel</li> <li>Wheel Configuration: Bo-Bo</li> <li>Livery: Railtrack</li> <li>Minimum Curve (mm): Radius 2</li> <li>Motor: 5 Pole</li> <li>Number of Parts: 1</li> <li>Buffer Type: Separate Plastic Buffers</li> <li>Coupling Type: NEM Tension Lock</li> </ul>

<p>The EF81 type appeared in 1968 as an electric locomotive compatible with DC and AC 50/60Hz, and is currently used as the standard AC/DC locomotive. Four of the 300 series locomotives were introduced with stainless steel bodies for the Kanmon Tunnel, and currently the 303 locomotive is in use within Kyushu with its unpainted stainless steel body.</p> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li>Newly produced reproduction of the inspection cover installed under the driver's cab window</li> <li>H-rubber is reproduced in black</li> <li>Roof equipment is reproduced in gray</li> <li>Roof under pantograph is reproduced in the body color</li> <li>JR mark and maker's plate are printed</li> <li>Train radio antenna installed</li> <li>Driver's cab is expressed as see-through</li> <li>Number plate comes as a separate part "EF81-303/304"</li> <li>Roof whistle and signal flare come as separate parts</li> <li>Front handrail (vertical) comes as separate parts</li> <li>Release lever already attached as separate part</li> <li>Headlights are equipped with a constant-on board and have an ON-OFF switch</li> <li>Headlights are lit by incandescent color LEDs</li> <li>Dummy coupler and self-coupled TN coupler included</li> <li>Integrated plate wheel with center</li> <li>Flywheel-equipped power</li> <li>Black bogie frame and black wheels</li> <li>M-13 motor</li> </ul> <h3>Contents</h3> <p><strong>Vehicles</strong></p> <ul> <li>EF81-300 (2nd type)</li> </ul> <p><strong>Accessories</strong></p> <ul> <li>Runner parts: Number plate</li> <li>Runner parts: Handrail</li> <li>Runner parts: Whistle cover, signal flare</li> <li>Parts: Automatic coupling type dummy coupler</li> <li>Parts: Automatic coupling type TN coupler</li> <li>Parts: Dummy coupler receiver</li> </ul>
