<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: 0.2</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:76 Scale 00 Gauge</li> <li>Finish: Painted</li> <li>License: Yes</li> <li>License line: Produced under license for SCMG Enterprises Ltd. ©SCMGE.</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>

<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>The open wagon is one of the most ubiquitous types of wagon to ever see service in the UK. Regardless of their size, the wagons could be seen almost anywhere from individual wagons being moved by small tank engines to large rakes of them being hauled behind some of the largest tender engines of the day.</p> <p>The wagons were largely unspecified, they would carry any cargo that didn't require any protection from the elements. As time progressed and rolling stock developed, the general use wagon would see its use become more limited, wagons designed specifically around their cargo would begin to supersede the standard open wagon through the 1940s and 1950s.</p> <p>Many open wagons would find their way into private ownership, with each company then commissioning one of the Big Four companies to move their wagons to their destination. These plank wagons are typical of the kind that could be seen making up a colourful patchwork behind one of the Big Four's freight engines.</p> <p>These open wagons are fitted with NEM couplings and metal wheels, allowing them to roll freely and therefore allowing them to run in long rakes behind even small locomotives as may sometimes be tasked with hauling them. These wagons also have internal plank detailing, a load need not be fitted if you do not wish to add one.</p> <h3>Specification</h3> <ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 21</li> <li>Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 4</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: Multiple</li> <li>Gauge: OO</li> <li>Operator: Private Owner</li> <li>Designer: RCH</li> <li>Livery: Private Owner</li> <li>Minimum Curve (mm): Radius 2</li> <li>Number of Parts: 3</li> <li>Buffer Type: Fixed Metal Buffers</li> <li>Coupling Type: NEM Tension Lock</li> </ul>

<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.
