<p>The C20 type was introduced in 1971 as the first 12-foot container for JNR, and played an active role as a representative container for JNR.</p> <p>Some were taken over by JR Freight, but they were retired with the introduction of successor containers such as the 18D type.</p> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li>Reproduces the C20 container with green paint and white stripes</li> <li>Can be loaded onto Tomix's Koki 5500, 50000, 10000 and other container freight cars with one touch</li> <li>Container numbers (C20-30098, 32061, 32774, 33044, 34743) are printed</li> <li>Numbers and markings are printed</li> <li>5 pieces included</li> </ul>

<p>The design for the Fishkind-coded ‘Sealion’ wagons was based on a 1903 design by the London and South Western Railway. A typical hopper wagon would have slab sides with seven vertical ribs and three discharge chutes. These chutes were situated at the outside of each rail and in the centre. The end of the wagon featured three handwheels to control the chute doors.</p> <p>A total of 128 wagons were constructed at Shildon Works in 1971 and 100 members of the batch were fitted with dual brakes. AFI vacuum brakes allowed for faster emergency braking. These dual brakes meant that at one end of the wagon, there was a small air brake cylinder, and at the other end were two larger cylinders for the vacuum brakes. Under BR TOPS, the wagon’s unique combination of brakes meant that it was coded YGH and as the Fishkind ‘Sealion’. A further 360 ‘Sealion’ wagons were constructed at Shildon Works between 1972 and 1974.</p> <p>This ‘Sealion’ wagon model features box sections in the vertical ribs to reflect a later variation. The hook couplings enable easier coupling of other rolling stock and locomotives on your layout. Stanchions support the wagon in an MGR Hopper style. A handbrake wheel is also featured. This model comes in a Loadhaul livery.</p> <h4>Includes</h4> <ul> <li>1x Rolling Stock Wagon</li> </ul>

<p>In-order to allow running at 125 mph on Britain's railways, new rolling stock was needed by British Railways to replace the aging Mk2s. Significant improvements included new secondary air suspension between the bogies and the coach body as well as aerodynamic skirting on the underframe. 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.</p> <p>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. Mk3 coaches entered service in 1975 along with the Class 43 forming the iconic InterCity 125 trainset.</p> <p>Mk3 Coaches continue to be a mainstay on British railways in the 21st century despite their increasing age. With the introduction of the new Class 800 and 802 IEP units on the Great Western Mainline, GWR cascaded remaining IC125 sets to rural routes, shortening them to 4 passenger coach 'Castle' sets. These Mk3s are also updated to comply with new regulations mandating considerations such as improved toilet facilities, disabled access and automatic doors.</p> <h3>Specification</h3> <ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 30.3</li> <li>Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 5</li> <li>Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 3.5</li> <li>Item Weight - Without Packaging: 0.19</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:76 Scale 00 Gauge</li> <li>Finish: Painted</li> <li>Colour: Green</li> <li>Operator: GWR</li> <li>Designer: BREL</li> <li>Livery: GWR Green</li> <li>Minimum Curve (mm): Radius 2</li> <li>Number of Parts: 1</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>Specifications</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: 0.2</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:76 Scale 00 Gauge</li> <li>License: No</li> <li>Finish: Painted</li> <li>Colour: Grey</li> <li>Gauge: OO</li> <li>Operator: BR</li> <li>Designer: Met Cam</li> <li>Livery: BR</li> <li>Minimum Curve (mm): Radius 2</li> <li>Number of Parts: 1</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>Gauge: 00</li> <li>Operator/Livery: ScotRail, Inter7City Blue</li> <li>Livery Finish: Pristine</li> <li>Length: 303mm</li> <li>Period/ERA: Era 11 (2014 +)</li> <li>Type/Class: BR Mk.3 1st Class TSD – Trailer Standard Disabled</li> <li>Designer: Wabtec Doncaster</li> </ul>

<p>The Koki 106 series is a container freight car that was introduced in 1997 to carry marine containers.</p> <p>The body of the car was changed from sky blue to gray midway through production, and the cars that were sky blue were also changed to gray during inspection.</p> <p>When the cars were repainted during inspection from around 2017, the JRF mark on the side of the car was removed, and from 2022, the no-running sign will also be removed.</p> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li>A newly produced reproduction of the early model of the KoKi 106 series that does not have the hand brake emergency display device on the side of the car body</li> <li>Reproduces the appearance without the no-thrust sign, in addition to the JRF mark that has recently appeared</li> <li>Car number is printed</li> <li>Can carry various containers</li> <li>Handrails are already installed</li> <li>Brake handle is already installed at the factory</li> <li>Silver wheels are usedPlease</li> </ul> <h3>Includes</h3> <p><strong>Vehicles</strong></p> <ul> <li>KoKi 106-153</li> <li>KoKi 106-391</li> </ul>

<p>These were Louvre Vans built for the Victorian Railways by a combination of Bendigo North, Newport &amp; Ballarat North Workshops between 1962 &amp; December 1967.</p> <p>Vans 1 - 87 and 99 - 135 were introduced as VLF's, before being recoded VLX between November 1963 &amp; June 1965.</p> <p>Vans 88 - 98 were also built to this pattern but were introduced as VLX's. These vans were fitted with timber floors.</p> <p>Vans 136 - 660 were built to a slightly different design and featured steel floors. These were introduced as VLX.</p> <p>As introduced these wagons had red roofs from new, however these were repainted silver in the late 1960's</p> <p>During the 1979 reclassification, these wagons were recoded VLCX.</p> <p>In 1994 some wagons were transferred to the newly formed National Rail Corporation and were recoded to RLCX before being returned to V/Line and renumbered to their old numbers.And during 1994 some 20 random numbered VLCX vans were recoded to VLVX for use in Freight Centre Traffic.</p> <p>These wagons have appeared in VR Wagon Red as originally produced with no logo, then a small, med, and large VR logo. Later they received the V/Line logo carrying this through to the 80's &amp; 90's until some were painted Freight Australia Green, then later Pacific National Blue. A couple of vans made it into West Coast Railway Blue.</p> <p>Door styles over the years changed from the original plain panel doors, to single louvre, then twin louvre, and finally VHX style doors. Combinations of the first 3 doors are common.</p> <p>These vans include Genuine Kadee (R) Couplers, and AMRA profile wheels.</p> <p>Features include opening sliding doors, simulated timber floors on the VLF style wagons, and a steel chequer plate floor on the VLX variant.</p> <p>They also come with internal Cargo barriers, and a combination of either plain pattern, twin louvre doors, or VHX style doors.</p> <p>These wagons feature the end louvre on the roof panel.</p> <h3>Specification</h3> <ul> <li>Three HO Scale VLX Models</li> <li>Style: 3 VLX Vans with Large VR logos.</li> <li>Wagon numbers: VLX 332, VLX 514, &amp; VLX 562</li> <li>Era covered: 1970's - Early 1980's</li> </ul>

<p>This four wheeled coach is a representation of the hundreds which served on the GWR from the Victorian era onwards.</p> <p>Four wheeled coaches proved especially good at branch line work where their small size enabled the traversing of tight radius curves, whilst lower passenger numbers meant their small size was more acceptable and enabled trains to be hauled by smaller engines.</p> <p>This GWR coach is modelled as having step boards to enable access at stations with low platforms and gas lighting.</p> <p>This model also features our new Maglight system which allows coach lights to be turned on and off using a magnetic wand, removing the need for track pick-ups which would increase rolling resistance.</p> <h3>Specifications</h3> <ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 13.5</li> <li>Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 5</li> <li>Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 3.5</li> <li>Item Weight - Without Packaging: 0.06</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:76 Scale 00 Gauge</li> <li>License: No</li> <li>Finish: Painted</li> <li>Colour: Brown</li> <li>Gauge: OO</li> <li>Operator: GWR</li> <li>Designer: GWR</li> <li>Livery: GWR</li> <li>Minimum Curve (mm): Radius 2</li> <li>Number of Parts: 1</li> </ul>

<h3>BCZ 258 V/Line White &amp; Green Stripe Z Type Carriage</h3> <p>The Z type carriages are an air conditioned steel passenger carriage used on the railways of Victoria, Australia. The carriages were constructed by the Victorian Railways from 1957 for use on intrastate services. For most of their service, the Z cars operated as Z sets, however, in the early 1990s most sets were broken up, with carriages merged into N sets. They thus currently run on mixed service with Z sets.</p> <ul> <li>Highly detailed</li> <li>Plastic, resin, and etch metal components</li> <li>HO Scale</li> <li>Z-Type Carriage</li> </ul> <p><em>ACZ 259 Displayed for illustration</em></p>
