<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 breaks 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>The Mk3 coach is perhaps most iconic in its original production livery of the BR Grey and Blue. It is in this livery that the coach, as well as the matching Class 43 units would be introduced, before high speed rail services in the UK would be rebranded into the Intercity Executive livery.</p> <p>Following the privatisation of the Railway network, Mk3 coaches would find themselves in many colourful liveries, some harking back to the original blue and grey livery of times gone by.</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>Specification</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: Blue and Grey</li> <li>Gauge: OO</li> <li>Operator: BR</li> <li>Designer: BREL</li> <li>Livery: BR Blue and Grey</li> <li>Minimum Curve (mm): Radius 2</li> <li>Number of Parts: 1</li> <li>Coupling Type: NEM Tension Lock</li> </ul>

<p>British Rail's Class 370 tilting trains, also referred to as APT-P (Advanced Passenger Train Prototype), were the pre-production Advanced Passenger Train units. The APT-P is the most powerful domestic train to have operated in Britain, setting the UK rail speed record of 162.2 miles per hour in 1979, a record that stood for 23 years.

<h3>P Explosives Van Kit</h3> <p>Twenty five new explosives vans were built at Newport workshops during 1953/54. Coded P and numbered 1-25 they utilised the underframes from wooden U vans whose bodies had been condemned. These new vans were designed to replace the existing fleet of explosives wagons, which dated from the previous century. A second batch, numbered 26-45 were built in 1958/59, but differed in some details such as the diagonal side bracing and the bracing of the ends. A further six vans, P46 to 51, were constructed in the early 1960's and were generally similar to the second batch.</p> <p>Our kit represents one of the first series vans and includes the roof ventilators with which these vans were originally equipped. These ventilators were removed about 1968. The P vans continued in traffic up to the mid 1980's when they were withdrawn, along with most other four wheel wagons. A number have been preserved, with several examples on the Castlemaine and Maldon railway, and the bodies from P vans can also be seen around Victoria in use as sheds.</p> <p><em>Model illustrated has been fitted with handbrake, shunter's steps and couplers (not included).</em></p>

<p>The TTA tanker is one of the most common types of tanker wagon ever seen on British railways. While far from the first or last such wagon to be used, the standardised nature and relative simplicity of the mechanisms in the tank and chassis led to thousands being built during the 1960s and 70s.</p><p>This triple TTA tank wagon pack consists of three Shell-liveried tank wagons with the running numbers: SUKO65712, SUKO65713 and SUKO65714.</p><h3>Specifications</h3><ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 12</li> <li>Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 5</li> <li>Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 3.5</li> <li>Item Weight - Without Packaging: 0.05</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:76 Scale 00 Gauge</li> <li>Finish: Painted</li> <li>Colour: Black</li> <li>Gauge: OO</li> <li>Operator: Shell</li> <li>Designer: BR</li> <li>Livery: Shell</li> <li>Minimum Curve (mm): Radius 2</li> <li>Number of Parts: 1</li> <li>Buffer Type: Metal Sprung Buffers</li> <li>Coupling Type: NEM Couplings</li> </ul>
