<p>In-order to allow running at 125 mph on Britain's Victorian era railways, new rolling stock was needed by British Railways. Significant improvements over the Mk2 included new secondary air suspension between the bogies and the coach body as well as aerodynamic skirting on the underframe.</p><p>Mk3 coaches are 75ft (23m) long enabling far greater capacity than older coaches. Mk3 coaches also incorporate disk brakes and wheel slip protection enabling faster deceleration. The first Mk3 coaches to be delivered were used as part of the HST prototype along with the two Class 41 diesel power cars in 1972.</p><p>Mk3 coaches entered service in 1975 along with the Class 43 forming the iconic InterCity 125 trainset. After the HST Mk3 coach variant was introduced, further Mk3 coaches were introduced to the West Coast Mainline for use as part of locomotive hauled trains. Whilst Mk3 stock is standard for HST units, the standard locomotive hauled stock is Mk3a.</p><p>Mk3a stock differs from Mk3 stock due to the inclusion of buffers as well as a different electrical system that uses motor generator units in each coach to power air conditioning and other ancillaries Mk3a stock was built until 1984, before 3B stock with improved seating and lighting was built from 1985 to 1988.</p><p>After their brief stint in the BR Blue and Grey colour scheme the Mark 3 coaches saw a livery change in line with a corporate rebrand of high speed services. The new InterCity livery saw the coaches painted in a darker grey colour with a beige stripe along the top and bottom of the coaches with a red stripe under the windows. This livery was designed to emulate or copy the advanced yet ultimately fruitless APT project.</p><p>This livery would largely remain unchanged even after a further rebrand to Intercity Swallow, before the coaches would transfer into private ownership at the end of BR.</p><p>These Mk3 coaches include the provision for lighting provided by the R7305 Maglight lighting unit, as well as fully detailed interiors and metal wheels throughout. For the first time, these coaches also include our new Buckeye style magnetic couplings.</p><h3>Specifications</h3><ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 30.3</li> <li>Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 5.5</li> <li>Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 3.5</li> <li>Item Weight - Without Packaging: 0.158</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:76 Scale 00 Gauge</li> <li>Finish: Painted</li> <li>Colour: Grey</li> <li>Gauge: OO</li> <li>Operator: BR</li> <li>Designer: BREL</li> <li>Livery: BR Intercity Grey</li> <li>Minimum Curve (mm): Radius 2</li> <li>Number of Parts: 1</li> <li>Coupling Type: NEM Tension Lock</li> </ul>

<p>The British Rail Mark 3 is a type of passenger carriage developed in response to growing competition from airlines and the car in the 1960s. A variant of the Mark 3 became the rolling stock for the High Speed Train (HST).</p><p>Originally conceived as locomotive-hauled coaching stock, the first coaches built were for the prototype HST in 1972. Production coaches entered service between 1975 and 1988, and multiple-unit designs based on the Mark 3 bodyshell continued to be built until the early 1990s. Most of the surviving fleet of the Mark 3 and its derivatives are still in revenue service on the British railway network in 2019.</p><h3>Specifications</h3><ul> <li>Operator/Livery: LNER Red/Grey</li> <li>Livery Finish: Pristine</li> <li>Length: 303mm</li> <li>Period/ERA: Era 11 (2014 +)</li> <li>Type/Class: BR Mk.3 TSO – Trailer Standard Open</li> <li>Designer: British Rail</li> </ul>

<h3>IY Open Wagon Kit</h3> <p>The IY wagons were originally introduced to traffic as 20 tons capacity I wagons, featuring larger axle journals than the standard 16 tons capacity I wagon. Numbered 15220 to 15569 inclusive, they were placed on register from 1/10/1926 to 7/1/1927, but were recoded IY from 1929 and given a dual load rating of 16/22 tons. IY wagons were fitted with a wheel handbrake similar to that used on IZ wagons, instead of the lever handbrake fitted to 'standard' wagons.</p> <p><em>Model illustrated has been fitted with handbrake, shunter's steps and couplers (not included).</em></p>

<p>The ZBA 'Rudd' is a type of low sided open wagon rebuilt from an older HTV type of coal hopper. This rebuild was done on behalf of the BR Civil Engineering department, the department responsible for maintaining the trackwork of the UK.</p><p>The ZBA was the most extreme of these rebuilt wagons with an entirely new body fitted as opposed to having the original one cut down. The first of these rebuilds began appearing in 1984, with the wagons becoming the longest lasting type. ZBA wagons saw their withdrawal come thick and fast around 2008, with their use diminished by advancements in wagon design in the 30 years they were in service.</p><h3>Specifications</h3><ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 9</li> <li>Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 3</li> <li>Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 3.5</li> <li>Item Weight - Without Packaging: 0.06</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:76 Scale 00 Gauge</li> <li>Finish: Painted</li> <li>Colour: Grey and Yellow</li> <li>Gauge: OO</li> <li>Operator: BR</li> <li>Designer: BR</li> <li>Livery: BR Engineering</li> <li>Minimum Curve (mm): Radius 2</li> <li>Number of Parts: 1</li> <li>Buffer Type: Sprung Metal Buffers</li> <li>Coupling Type: NEM Tension Lock</li> </ul>

<p>The Pullman Car Company took rail travel to the next level of opulence at a time when rail travel was already a premium experience. The Pullman services as operated by the PCC lasted almost a century with the first service operating in 1874 and the last in 1972. Pullman services, with very few exceptions, were made up of the PCCs own rolling stock. This stock consisted of unique to the UK, almost American style coaches, made of wood and painted in the umber and cream livery. Every coach was named, even the third class coaches although in this case the name would invariably be its car number. This name would adorn the side of each coach in a painted panel akin to how a locomotive name plate appears.</p><p>Pullman services operated on each of the Big Four’s rails and on the later nationalised rail network. The operator most opposed to the notion of the service was the GWR, who saw their own coaches as being more than luxurious enough, and therefore there being little point in operating Pullman trains although they themselves would eventually commission some services. Many Pullman coaches have been preserved around the country and indeed the world, with several finding their way over to the United States.</p><h3>Specifications</h3><ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 16.7</li> <li>Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 3.5</li> <li>Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 2.4</li> <li>Item Weight - Without Packaging: 0.04</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:120 Scale</li> <li>Finish: Painted</li> <li>Colour: Brown</li> <li>Gauge: TT</li> <li>Operator: Pullman</li> <li>Designer: Pullman Car Company</li> <li>Livery: Pullman Umber and Cream</li> <li>Minimum Curve (mm): Radius 1</li> <li>Number of Parts: 1</li> </ul>
