<h3>20ft MC Cattle Containers</h3> <p>In 1974 the Victorian Railways trialed several WAGR 20' cattle containers, this trial was deemed successful and the Railways placed an order for 50 MC Cattle containers with Loadmaster at Woodend. The versatility of this design meant the cattle containers could be loaded individually onto four wheeled flat wagons like KQ and KMQ or loaded in threes on longer FQF bogie flat wagons.</p> <p>Later in April 1987 30 MC containers were transferred to NSW for livestock traffic. Ironically they were initially placed onto NQSF container wagons which were converted from bogie sheep wagon underframes. </p> <p>Each pack has three individually numbered containers.</p>

<h3>Open Wagon, "Tommy Bent" Kit</h3> <p>The pattern vehicle, number 6600, for this series of I wagons with 4'6" high steel sides, was constructed at Newport Workshops during 1901. The following six years saw the construction of a further 639 wagons, together with 166 to a similar design, rebuilt from older wooden I wagons. These wagons originally had a capacity of 15 tons but during the early 1930's, at about the time they were fitted with auto' couplers, they were recoded IA and given a dual load rating of 16 tons. About 1957, when the buffers were removed, this became 1/16 tons.</p> <p><em>Model illustrated has been fitted with handbrake, shunter's steps and couplers (not included).</em></p>

<h3>QMX 63' CONTAINER WAGON</h3><p>These containers wagons were a continuation of the basic design of the earlier VR FQX 63’ wagon, the exception being, they were built with a skeletal deck.</p><p>60 wagons were built in 1978, 1 – 40 at the VR Bendigo Workshops and 41 – 60 at the VR Newport Workshops. These were the last VR wagons to enter service prior to the adoption of the ROA 4 letter coding in 1979.</p><p> They were suitable for bogie exchange and later all went into the NRC pool in 1995, the majority were fitted with 2CM high speed bogies and became RQFY coded wagons.</p><h3>Model Features:</h3><ul> <li>Highly detailed Ready-to-Run HO scale model</li> <li>Injection moulded high quality plastic body</li> <li>Diecast metal underfloor centre beam</li> <li>Full brake rigging and underfloor detail</li> <li>Semi scale 10.5mm diameter metal rimmed wheels</li> <li>Genuine Kadee scale head whisker coupler</li> <li>18” Minimum radius recommended</li> </ul>

<p>Coded MCO under the TOPS system of BR, this was probably one of the most common types of wagons used on UK railways during the 1950s to early 1980s. Therefore long rakes of these would be quite normal.</p> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li> <p>Crisply moulded parts</p> </li> <li> <p>Thinner walls to the body</p> </li> <li> <p>Correct 9 foot wheelbase</p> </li> <li> <p>Detachable couplings</p> </li> <li> <p>Metal-tyred wheels for free running</p> </li> </ul> <p> </p>

<h3>FX / VPFX Bulk Flour Wagon</h3><p>17 of these pneumatic discharge wagons were constructed between 1966 and 1971, they were numbered FX1 to 17. The first series FX 1 to 6 were built at Newport Workshops, the second series FX 7 to 17 were built at Ballarat North Workshops. The original series of wagons were designed so that two of the four hoppers were unloaded from each end. The second series differed from the first series by means of a single discharge point, via additional piping and manifold, at each end of the wagon. When the wagons were first delivered they were finished in silver with a small VR logo, later many of the series received flour company branding and some were also repainted white. Later their use was expanded to cover burnt lime (VPLX) and dried locomotive sand (VZGX).</p><p>Whilst coded FX denoting suitability for bogie exchange they were predominantly used on the broad gauge between Albury NSW and Williamstown Pier and Westall, in the mid-80s some ran on standard gauge to Enfield and Canberra.</p><h3>Model Features:</h3><ul> <li>Highly detailed Ready-to-Run HO scale model</li> <li>Injection moulded high quality plastic body</li> <li>Etched metal walkways</li> <li>Full brake rigging and underfloor detail</li> <li>Semi scale metal rimmed wheels</li> <li>Genuine Kadee #158 whisker coupler</li> <li>18” Minimum radius recommended</li> </ul>

<p>The E231-500 series was introduced for the Yamanote Line in 2002.</p> <p>After the successor E235 series was introduced in 2017, they were gradually transferred to local trains on the Chuo and Sobu lines, and the body stripe color was changed from green to yellow.</p> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li>Productization of the E231-500 series that was transferred to the Chuo and Sobu lines for local trains</li> <li>Reproduction of updated underfloor equipment</li> <li>Side indicator lights already installed</li> <li>Some notations already printed</li> <li>Selectable car number and transfer sheet included</li> <li>Minimum radius R490 passable</li> </ul> <h3>Contents</h3> <p><strong>Vehicles</strong></p> <ul> <li>Saha E231-500</li> <li>Moha E231-500(M)</li> <li>Moha E230-500</li> </ul> <p><strong>Accessories</strong></p> <ul> <li>Runner parts: End cover A and B</li> <li>Parts: End cover positioning jig K</li> <li>Parts: End cover positioning jig M</li> <li>Transfer sheet: Car number</li> </ul>

<p>Built at Metro-Cammell's Washwood Heath factory, 314 Mk4 coaches were produced between 1989 and 1992. They were built specifically for use on the newly electrified East Coast Main Line, along with hopes that a second order for the West Coast Main Line would be placed at a later date, although this second order never transpired. Mk4 coaches featured many improvements over the Mk3s such as push-button operated plug-type doors, fully sealed gangways and a designed top speed of 140mph. Much of the Mk4 design was based upon the Advanced Passenger Train. In particular, Mk4 coaches feature sides profiled to allow a tilt of up to 6° with newly fitted tilting bogies.</p> <p>Mk4s entered service in 1989 and helped drive a significant increase in passenger traffic. With privatisation in 1996, all Mk4 coaches were sold to Evershot Rail Group who have since leased them out to the holder of the InterCity East Coast Franchise. The franchise was initially awarded to Great North Eastern Railway (GNER) and has since been operated by National Express East Coast, East Coast, Virgin Trains East Coast and London North Eastern Railway (LNER) owned by the Department for Transport.</p> <p>Between October 2003 and November 2005 Bombardier Transportation, under contract from GNER, commenced refurbishment of the Mk4 stock, fitting new seating arrangements and introduced onboard Wi-Fi, a first for British rail services. This refurbishment programme was called 'Project Mallard' named after the Mallard steam locomotive, built in the 1930s by the London &amp; North Eastern Railway and holder of the world speed record for steam locomotives.</p> <p>Although Mk4 coaches have spent most of their lives on the ECML, there are plans to cascade them down to other lines due to the introduction of the Class 800 and Class 801 IEPs.</p> <h3>Specification</h3> <ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 33</li> <li>Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 5</li> <li>Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 3.5</li> <li>Item Weight - Without Packaging: 0.13</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:76 Scale 00 Gauge</li> <li>License: Yes</li> <li>License line: Produced under license for SCMG Enterprises Ltd. ©SCMGE.</li> <li>Finish: Painted</li> <li>License: No</li> <li>Colour: Grey</li> <li>Gauge: OO</li> <li>Operator: LNER</li> <li>Designer: Met Cam</li> <li>Livery: LNER</li> <li>Minimum Curve (mm): Radius 2</li> <li>Number of Parts: 1</li> </ul>
