<p>Entering service as the English Electric Type 3, the British Rail Class 37 diesel locomotives were built at the Vulcan Foundry in Newton-le-Willows in a Co-Co configuration, based on locomotive designs for export markets. Built to undertake both freight and passenger work across all BR sectors, these engines proved highly reliable and, after overhaul, many survived in service across the network into the 1990s.</p> <p>British Railways first placed an order for forty two Class 37 locomotives in January 1959, the first of which was delivered in November 1960 and entered service on 2 December with the last of this original batch was completed by mid-1962, by which time further orders had been placed.</p> <h3>Specifications</h3> <ul> <li>Gauge: OO</li> <li>Colour: Grey</li> <li>DCC status: DCC Ready 8 pin socket</li> <li>Finish: Pristine</li> <li>Livery: Rail Operations Group</li> <li>Minimum radius curve: 2nd Radius (438mm)</li> <li>Motor: 5 Pole Skew wound</li> </ul>

<h3>Powerline PT3-1-370 T Class, Series 3, Low Nose, VR T370 | HO Scale</h3> <p>The T class are a class of diesel locomotives built by Clyde Engineering, Granville for the Victorian Railways between 1955 and 1968. The concept of the locomotives was to partially dieselise country branch lines, along with offerring increased freight and passenger capacity. They eventually became the workhorse of Victorian Railways, and although ordered as branch line locomotives, they were often used on main line services.</p> <p>In June 1959 the first of an additional ten entered service. Although mechanically similar to the first batch they differed by having a cab raised above the hood line. A further ten entered service from December 1961. In September 1965 the first of an order for 32 was delivered. These differed by having a lower nose. A final order for 19 was delivered from April 1967. The last five were built with an extra 10 tonnes (9.8 long tons; 11 short tons) of ballast weight for improved adhesion and low speed controls for use as shunting locomotives in Melbourne. These were reclassified as the H class shortly after being delivered. In July 1969 an additional flat top unit was purchased second hand from Australian Portland Cement who had ordered it for use at its narrow gauge Fyansford Cement Works Railway, Geelong in 1956. Although outwardly similar to the original T class units it was fitted with dynamic brakes, and became a regular on the steeply graded Cudgewa line.</p> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li> <p>Highly detailed model with authentic livery</p> </li> <li> <p>Upgraded and modified with MTC21 21pin socket</p> </li> <li> <p>Speaker fitted making the loco DCC &amp; Sound ready</p> </li> <li> <p>Directional Lighting</p> </li> <li> <p>5-pole can motor with twin flywheels</p> </li> <li> <p>Metal knuckle couplers</p> </li> <li> <p>RP25 blackened metal wheels</p> </li> </ul> <h3>DCC Type</h3> <p>This locomotive is DCC READY and takes a 21-pin type decoder.

<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>
