<p>At the start of the 1930s the LMS abandoned the ‘Small Engine Policy that it had inherited from one of its largest predecessors, the Midland Railway. The abandoning of this policy led to some of the most famous Stanier and LMS designs such as the Jubilee, Black 5 and Duchess classes. To accompany this shift in ethos, new coaches were constructed for the LMS, with the 57’ coaches being built between 1931 and 1932.</p><p>These new coaches were steel clad, the first such for the LMS and had seating for 56, 300 such examples were built. In LMS service these coaches were painted in their striking maroon livery with LMS insignia adorning the side. The coaches, being relatively new at the time of nationalisation lasted well into the swansong days of BR, appearing in both its carmine and cream livery and later BR Maroon when BR decided to shift aesthetics back to regional recognition.</p><h3>Specifications</h3><ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 12.8</li> <li>Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 3</li> <li>Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 2.2</li> <li>Item Weight - Without Packaging: 0.04</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:120 Scale</li> <li>Finish: Painted</li> <li>Colour: Maroon</li> <li>Gauge: TT</li> <li>Operator: BR</li> <li>Designer: Sir William Stanier</li> <li>Livery: BR Maroon</li> <li>Minimum Curve (mm): Radius 3</li> <li>Number of Parts: 1</li> </ul>

<p>Maunsell's diagram 2652 third class dining saloons were built in 1927 to provide an area for third class passengers to make use of the kitchen services provided in first class kitchen/dining coaches. The exterior of the coaches utilised the 'low-window' Maunsell styling, with ventilators above the windows and doors at each end which were gently recessed to accommodate their grab handles within gauging limits.</p> <p>Inside, each coach could accommodate 64 diners and two toilets were located at the end of the coach furthest away from the kitchen/dining first coach. Whereas a further 40 kitchen/dining firsts were built to the same 'low-window' style from 1929 onwards, accompanying third class dining was felt to be better served by the new 'high-window' open third saloons and as a consequence, from 1930, the six third class restaurant dining saloons were reclassified as open thirds.</p> <h3>Specification</h3> <ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 24.3</li> <li>Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 5</li> <li>Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 3.5</li> <li>Item Weight - Without Packaging: 0.13</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>Operator: BR</li> <li>Designer: Maunsell</li> <li>Livery: SR Olive</li> <li>Minimum Curve (mm): Radius 2</li> <li>Number of Parts: 1</li> <li>Motor: 5 pole skew wound</li> </ul>

<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 Total-liveried tank wagons with the running numbers: PR58236, PR58237 and PR58238.</p> <h4>Includes</h4> <ul> <li>3x Rolling Stock Wagons</li> </ul> <h4>Technical Specifications</h4> <div> <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: Grey</li> <li>Gauge: OO</li> <li>Operator: Total</li> <li>Designer: BR</li> <li>Livery: Total</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> </div>

<p>In-order to allow running at 125 mph on Britain's railways, new rolling stock was needed by British Railways in order to replace the aging Mk2s. 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. 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>Following the FirstGroup's decision to buyout their partner's shares in Great Western Holdings, a decision was made to rebrand the Great Western Trains HST units to First Great Western (FGW). Visually this change involved the fitting of a new vinyl gold strip and colour fading, as well as fitting new FGW logos. This livery was relatively short lived with FGW introducing a variety of new liveries over the next few years which were more in keeping with the First Group's other corporate liveries.</p> <h4>Includes</h4> <ul> <li>1x Rolling stock Coach</li> </ul> <h4>Technical Specifications</h4> <div> <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: FGW</li> <li>Designer: BREL</li> <li>Livery: FGW Green, White and Gold</li> <li>Minimum Curve (mm): Radius 2</li> <li>Number of Parts: 1</li> </ul> </div>

<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. 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. 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>Locomotive Services Limited (LSL) are a train operating company known for operating mainline rail tours with heritage diesel and steam locomotives. In 2017, upon being granted their certification to operate mainline charters, they became only the third company certified to operate steam locomotives on the mainline. They are also responsible for reimagining the famous Blue Pullman service, operating a specially liveried HST set with all first-class seating between London and Manchester.</p> <h3>Specifications</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>License: Yes</li> <li>License line: ©Copyright Locomotive Storage Limited 20… All rights reserved</li> <li>Finish: Painted</li> <li>Colour: Blue</li> <li>Gauge: OO</li> <li>Operator: Locomotive Services Group</li> <li>Designer: BREL</li> <li>Livery: Nanking Blue</li> <li>Minimum Curve (mm): Radius 2</li> <li>Number of Parts: 1</li> </ul>

<p>A tank container or tanktainer is an intermodal container for the transport of liquids, gases and powders as bulk cargo. It is built to the ISO standards, making it suitable for different modes of transportation; as such, it is also called an ISO tank. Both hazardous and non-hazardous products can be transported in tank containers.</p><p>Gas containers sometimes have multiple bottles instead of one large tank.A tank container is a vessel of stainless steel surrounded by an insulation and protective layer of usually polyurethane and aluminum. The contents of the tank range from 17,500 to 26,000 liters (3,800 to 5,700 imp gal; 4,600 to 6,900 U.S. gal). There are both smaller and larger tank containers, which usually have a size different from the ISO standard sizes. For example, there are some 27,000 liters (5,900 imp gal; 7,100 U.S. gal) and above litre tank containers in the European swap body fleets in Europe but they are not used on international business only on intra European traffic. The trade organization ITCO estimates that as of January 1st, 2018 the global fleet of tank containers stands at 552,000 units. Most of these tank containers are owned by operators and leasing companies.</p><h3>Specifications</h3><ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 8</li> <li>Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 5</li> <li>Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 3.5</li> <li>Item Weight - Without Packaging: 0.02</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:76 Scale 00 Gauge</li> <li>Finish: Painted</li> <li>Colour: White</li> <li>Operator: Bulkhaul, Foodtrans &amp; Sinochem</li> <li>Designer: KFA</li> <li>Livery: Concisa, Hoyer &amp; TIP,</li> <li>Minimum Curve (mm): Radius 2</li> <li>Number of Parts: 3</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 BR livery.</p>
