<p>The A2/3 Class were designed by Edward Thompson as standard express passenger locomotives. After Sir Nigel Gresley's unexpected death in April 1941, Edward Thompson desired to standardise the locomotives of the LNER. This process involved rebuilding locomotives using standard components such as wheel sizes and boiler designs.</p> <p>The A2/3 Class were new built to a similar specification to the A2/2 rebuilds, differing in cylinder sizes and boiler pressure. Thompson advocated divided drive, a system in which the middle cylinder drove the forward two of the six driving wheels whilst the outside cylinders drove the middle two. Due to his quest for standardisation, this arrangement necessitated the middle cylinder to be placed further forward than normal and the outside cylinders further back, behind the leading bogie, so that standard connecting rods could be used for all cylinders.</p> <p>LNER No. 511 'Airbourne' was built at Doncaster Works and entered service in July 1946. After nationalisation, it was renumbered 60511 and assigned to the Heaton engine shed. It was withdrawn in November 1962.</p> <h3>Specifications</h3> <ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 29.5</li> <li>Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 5</li> <li>Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 3.5</li> <li>Item Weight - Without Packaging: 0.36</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:76 Scale 00 Gauge</li> <li>License: No</li> <li>Finish: Painted</li> <li>Colour: Green</li> <li>Gauge: OO</li> <li>DCC Status: DCC Ready 8 pin socket</li> <li>Operator: LNER</li> <li>Designer: Thompson</li> <li>Wheel Configuration: 4-6-2</li> <li>Livery: LNER apple green</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 received their second series of T class locomotives from late 1959, these were mechanically similar to the first series but featured a new raised height operating cab layout. This new style of raised cab design featured throughout the remainder of the T class series.</p> <p>SDS Models are pleased to offer the inclusion of the T-2 series within our range of Victorian Railways T class models.</p> <p>Based upon the tried and proven Austrains T class mechanism we have comprehensively retooled almost every item, bringing the model inline with our exacting scale and design standards. Some 220 new or re-made parts are involved in the production of the four series we are offering below. All the models now feature prototypically correct width long hoods, series specific and appropriate fuel tank and battery box combinations, improved appearance bogie side frames and brake shoe / wheel tread alignment and a host of other design detail enhancements.</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</li> <li>All models come standard with an MTC 21 pin motherboard</li> <li>Exclusive and locally recorded EMD sounds by DCCSound</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 Ready</p> </li> </ul>
