<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>

<p>In the mid 1940s several D3 class locomotives were fitted with electric headlights, some retained their earlier low sided flare top tender.</p> <p>SDS Models have undertaken the production of two dedicated, and era specific, running numbers from this period. The engine units are based upon the forthcoming Phoenix Reproductions model mated with our own low sided tender. These models are being produced concurrently with the Phoenix Reproductions units and should be available Qtr1 2021.</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 and Keep Alive</li> <li>LED headlights and marker lights,</li> <li>All models come standard with an MTC 21 pin motherboard</li> <li>Exclusive sound by DCCSound</li> </ul>

<p>Introduced in 1996 by National Rail Corporation these 120 units were built by A Goninan and Co. The locomotives are 3000kw General Electric powered and used on standard gauge Australia wide.<br><br>They were introduced in grey and marigold and several were painted into various business units of NRC. Later they wore GSR train liveries representing the Hook and Pull agreement between the two companies.<br><br>In 2002 Pacific National acquired the assets of NRC and commenced to repaint the NR class into their new blue and yellow colours.<br><br>The model features the current tooling from Austrains and includes operating headlights, marker and ditch lights and is Kadee equipped. These are an ideal way to add colour to your collection.</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 headlights, marker lights, number boxes and ditch lights</li> <li>All models come standard with an MTC 21 pin motherboard</li> </ul>

<p>Built between 1962 and 1968, the Class 47 Co-Co Diesel-Electric locomotive was once the most numerous class of mainline diesel in Britain with 512 examples. 310 locomotives were constructed by Brush Traction in Loughborough, and the remaining 202 at Crewe. The locomotives were used for passenger and freight operations beginning in 1962 in the BR Green livery, before being repainted into the BR Blue colour scheme before further diversification saw them painted in all manner of liveries.</p> <p>Strong performers, these locomotives were among some of the largest to be employed by British rail. The first five withdrawals were all due to accident damage with the first planned decommissioning taking place in February 1986. As withdrawals began, ostensibly due to a lack of parts the withdrawn engines in turn solved this issue, and therefore the Class 47 disappeared slowly once withdrawals began.</p> <p>In 2023, 30 of the class remain operational on the national network with West Coast Railways being the largest operator, 17 are stored, 33 have been converted to the Class 57 and an additional 32 have been preserved. Starting out life in the respondent BR green as D1838, locomotive 47188 would gain its TOPS number in 1973. After BRs move away from rail blue the locomotive would be painted in BR Railfreight colours, the colours it would be scrapped in in 2005.</p> <p>This Railroad model fitted with a 3 pole motor and simple gearing, proving to be a reliable runner on any layout. The 8 pin DCC sound decoder allows the model to be used on a digital layout and its railroad specification makes it ideal as a starter digital model.</p> <h3>Specification</h3> <ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 25.1</li> <li>Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 5</li> <li>Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 3.5</li> <li>Item Weight - Without Packaging: 0.23</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:76 Scale 00 Gauge</li> <li>Finish: Painted</li> <li>Colour: Grey</li> <li>Gauge: OO</li> <li>DCC Status: Sound fitted</li> <li>Operator: BR</li> <li>Designer: Brush Traction</li> <li>Wheel Configuration: Co-Co</li> <li>Livery: BR Railfreight Distribution</li> <li>Minimum Curve (mm): Radius 2</li> <li>Motor: 3 Pole</li> <li>Number of Parts: 1</li> <li>Class: Class 47</li> <li>Buffer Type: Separate Plastic Buffers</li> <li>Coupling Type: NEM Tension Lock</li> </ul>
