<p>Since 2012, the EF81 cars belonging to JR Freight Toyama Locomotive Depot have had the number 600 added to their current numbers to indicate the difference in safety equipment compared to the passenger company's 0-series cars. The 600-series cars were used to pull freight trains on the Japan Sea Trunk Line until 2016, after which some were transferred to the Kyushu region and continued to be used there.</p> <p>All of the cars have now been retired.</p> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li>Reproduces the appearance with white lines on the lower side due to renewal work</li> <li>H-rubber is reproduced in black</li> <li>Roof under pantograph is reproduced in gray</li> <li>Markings and JR mark 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 "EF81-716, 717, 723, 725"</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 lighting board and ON-OFF switch</li> <li>Headlights are lit by incandescent color LED</li> <li>Dummy coupler and self-coupled TN coupler included</li> <li>Uses wheels with integrated plate wheel center</li> <li>Uses power with flywheel</li> <li>Uses black bogie frame and black wheels</li> <li>Uses M-13 motor</li> </ul> <h3>Accessories</h3> <ul> <li>Runner parts: Number plate</li> <li>Runner parts: Manufacturer's plate</li> <li>Runner parts: Handrail</li> <li>Runner parts: Whistle cover, signal flare</li> <li>Parts: Dummy coupler receiver</li> <li>Parts: Self-coupled dummy coupler</li> <li>Parts: Self-coupled TN coupler</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, they are still a common sight on 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. 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>Originally outshopped into BR service as D3790, this Derby built member of the class began it's service life at shed 15C. Renumbered as 08623 in February 1974, this class member still survives today as a working example of a Class 08 in DB Schenker service. </p> <h3>Specification</h3> <ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 8.7</li> <li>Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 3.2</li> <li>Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 2.5</li> <li>Item Weight - Without Packaging: 0.11</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:120 Scale</li> <li>Finish: Painted</li> <li>Colour: Red</li> <li>Gauge: TT</li> <li>DCC Status: DCC Ready 6 pin socket</li> <li>Operator: DB Schenker</li> <li>Designer: British Railways</li> <li>Wheel Configuration: 0-6-0</li> <li>Livery: DB Schenker Red</li> <li>Minimum Curve (mm): Radius 1</li> <li>Motor: 3 Pole</li> <li>Number of Parts: 1</li> <li>Class: Class 08</li> </ul>

<p>The 1930s saw increased competition to the railways from road and air travel and the LNER Board knew that they had to make travel between the major cities faster, more comfortable and reliable. High speed diesel services were starting to make an impact abroad. In May 1933, the German State Railways diesel-electric Fliegende Hamburger entered service, running for extended periods at 85mph. By 1934, in the USA, Burlington Zephyr had reached I I 2.5mph during a longer 1,015 mile journey.</p> <p>Nigel Gresley, the LNER's Chief Mechanical Officer, travelled on the Fliegende Hamburger and was impressed by its streamlining, although he realized it was only efficient at high speeds. Gresley was certain that a modified A3 Pacific, with streamlining, could haul greater loads than the German or US locomotives at the same speed or even faster. A series of trials were conducted to confirm the Al's suitability. With the trials successfully completed, the LNER Board gave Gresley the go-ahead to create the 'Silver Jubilee' streamlined trains, the first of the new streamlined A4s.</p> <p>The streamlining of the A4s' steam circuit, higher boiler pressure and the extension of the firebox to create a combustion chamber, made them more efficient than the A3 as they consumed less coal and water, especially later on when they were also fitted with a Kylchap double chimney, improving their free steaming capabilities further. Their streamlined design not only made them capable of high speeds, but created an up draught of smoke, preventing obscuring the driver's vision that was such a major problem on the Class A4 engines.</p> <p>As part of the LNER, A4 Era-3 Class, the 4-6-2, 4468 'Mallard' 9 is amongst a number of historic locomotives that is a fantastic addition to any train enthusiasts' collection.</p> <h3>Specification</h3> <ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 29.1</li> <li>Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 5</li> <li>Item Width - Without Packaging (cm: 3.5</li> <li>Item Weight - Without Packaging: 0.28</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:76 Scale 00 Gauge</li> <li>License: Yes</li> <li>License line: Produced under licence for SCMG Enterprises Ltd.

<p>The EF81 400 series was modified from the 0 series to replace the EF30 series used in the Kanmon Tunnel, and features the addition of multiple-unit centralized control. Currently, it is used to pull freight trains within Kyushu, along with the 303, 450 and 500 series.</p> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li>Reproduces the 400 series with an inspection cover installed under the driver's cab window</li> <li>Reproduces the appearance with a white line on the bottom side due to renewal work</li> <li>Roof equipment is reproduced in gray</li> <li>Roof section under the pantograph is reproduced in gray</li> <li>H-rubber is reproduced in black</li> <li>Reproduces the skirt with the addition of jumper plugs</li> <li>Uses integrated plate wheel centering wheels</li> <li>Headlights are illuminated with incandescent LEDs and have an ON-OFF switch</li> <li>Power terminal is equipped inside the roof monitor　</li> <li>Insulator parts are reproduced in green</li> <li>Selectable car number and includes an etched number plate<br> <ul> <li>"EF81-403, 404, 406, 408"</li> </ul> </li> <li>District nameplate sticker included</li> <li>JR mark and car body markings are printed</li> <li>Etching plate for manufacturer's plate and end markings included</li> </ul> <h3>Contents</h3> <p><strong>Vehicles</strong></p> <ul> <li>EF81-400 (renewed JR Freight vehicle)</li> </ul> <p><strong>Accessories</strong></p> <ul> <li>Runner parts (etched): Number plate</li> <li>Runner parts (etched): Manufacturer's plate, end marking</li> <li>Runner parts (etched): Wiper</li> <li>Runner parts (etched): Hook</li> <li>Runner parts: Handrail</li> <li>Runner parts: Dolly step, release lever, etc.</li> <li>Runner parts: Whistle, radio antenna</li> <li>Parts: Signal flare</li> <li>Sticker: District nameplate</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. 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 Sound</p> </li> </ul>
