<p>Railroad: BR Class 60 60038 &#039;Avesta Polarit&#039; EWS (Sound Fitted)
A growth in demand in the heavy haulage sector led to a review of BR&amp;rsquo;s available motive power in the 1980s. With 185 locomotives of the Type 5, 3,000+ horsepower category available, made up of its Classes 56 and 58, it was clear that more would be needed, and BR put out an invitation to tender for new locomotives in 1987.&amp;nbsp;
The 100 locomotive order was awarded to Brush in Loughborough, and these entered service between 1989 and 1993. No.60038 was named &amp;lsquo;Bidean nam Bian&amp;rsquo; after the Scottish &amp;lsquo;Munro&amp;rsquo; in Glen Coe.&amp;nbsp;
With BR&amp;rsquo;s trainload freight business broken up into shadow franchises, the locomotive became part of Loadhaul, based in the north-east. By 1996, this had become part of EWS and 60038 was named &#039;Avesta Polarit&#039; after the steel making company at the DFDS Immingham sea terminal on 19th March 2002. It is now one of 14 owned by DC Rail and currently in store.&amp;nbsp;
Our detailed RailRoad replica Class 60 model retains all the charm of the original, with enhanced durability and pre-fitted DCC sound features.
Product features:

Design based on extensive research and original drawings
HM7000-21 Pin decoder compatible
Space for a additional R7408 Enhanced Bass Speaker

<p>Railroad: BR Class 60 60039 &#039;Dove Holes&#039; DB Cargo (Sound Fitted)&amp;nbsp;
Entering service at Cardiff Canton in 1991, 60039 was originally named &amp;lsquo;Glastonbury Tor&amp;rsquo; as part of the hills and peaks theme of the initial Class 60 naming convention.&amp;nbsp;
It was later one of the locomotives selected for the &amp;lsquo;Super 60&amp;rsquo; upgrade programme announced by DBS/DB Cargo in November 2010 that was designed to extend their working life by a further 15 years. No.60039 was named &amp;lsquo;Dove Holes&amp;rsquo; in April 2015 and was used on limestone traffic out of Derbyshire. It is still owned by DB Cargo and is one of 52 members of the class put into storage by the company.&amp;nbsp;
We&#039;ve recreated this impressive locomotive in RailRoad form, bringing the most important details to life and adding features to enhance durability, making this the perfect model for regular layout use. We&#039;ve even included a pre-fitted sound chip so you can play authentic railway sounds as the model moves around your layout.

<p>Railroad: BR Class 60 60069 &#039;Humphrey Davy&#039; Coal Sector (Sound Fitted)&amp;nbsp;
The Class 60s were the last heavy haulers built for BR. No.60069 was allocated to BR&amp;rsquo;s Train Load Freight (TLF) Coal Sector and named &amp;lsquo;Humphrey Davy&amp;rsquo;, in honour of the inventor of the miner&amp;rsquo;s safety lamp.&amp;nbsp;
Following the break-up of TLF, the Class 60s were divided between three of the shadow franchises: Mainline Freight, Loadhaul, and Transrail Freight, but not long after they were formed they were absorbed into English, Welsh &amp;amp; Scottish (EWS). By 2007, it was estimated that the operational fleet was down to just 60 locomotives, the rest either in store or undergoing repair. That year, EWS was acquired by DB Schenker, a wholly-owned subsidiary of German railway company, Deutche Bahn.&amp;nbsp;
Our RailRoad Class 60 model represents &#039;Humphrey Davy&#039; in detail, but with added features that make for a much more durable locomotive. Plus, it is pre-fitted with a DCC sound chip for the most authentic model railway experience.

Finished in the Loram livery, Class 37 No. 37418 &amp;lsquo;An Commun Gaidhealach&amp;rsquo; is brought to life in this detailed 00 gauge model.&amp;nbsp;

History:
Released into BR traffic from Vulcan Foundry as D6971 on 18 March 1965, this locomotive was first allocated to Cardiff Canton. It was rebuilt as a Class 37/4 and renumbered 37418 in 1985 and transferred to Inverness. It received its unusual name &amp;lsquo;An Commun Gaidhealach&amp;rsquo; (The Gaelic Association) at Edinburgh in October 1986, before entering the Provincial General Pool from January 1989.&amp;nbsp;
It was renamed &amp;lsquo;Pectindae&amp;rsquo; in April 1992, and then &amp;lsquo;East Lancashire Railway&amp;rsquo; in April 1994, eventually being sold to a private owner in 2007 by EWS. It is currently on-hire to freight operator Loram Rail and painted in its livery, the &amp;lsquo;An Commun Gaidhealach&amp;rsquo; name being reinstated in February 2024.

This Hornby RailRoad Class 31 model is presented in the Trainload construction livery, bringing a modern splash of colour to your 00-gauge layout.

History:
Originally introduced in the late 1950s, the Class 31s became a familiar sight across the British railway network, known for their versatility and longevity. Locomotive No. 31271, preserved in working order, has seen continued use in the modern era and now wears the vibrant Trainload Construction livery — a striking nod to its role in supporting infrastructure projects across the capital.

<p>RailRoad: Class 08, 08512 EWS (Sound Fitted)
This RailRoad Class 08 Shunter is the ideal model for arranging wagons in a goods yard and is suitable for model railway layouts large or small. It comes DCC-ready with a Next 18-pin plug, so you can upgrade it to run on DCC or with our HM7000 Bluetooth-controlled system, which also includes sound via a speaker inside the locomotive.
The Class 08 350hp diesel electric shunter was the standard BR general-purpose shunting locomotive with 996 examples built between 1952 and 1962. They could be found shunting large marshalling yards and smaller goods depots. With the decline in the handling of individual goods wagons and the need to assemble trains, by 2000 there were just 100 left in service, with large numbers either scrapped, exported or sold into industrial use.
Many of these useful locomotives found their way into the fleets of freight operating companies and 08512 is depicted as a typical EWS fleet member in the company&amp;rsquo;s eye-catching red and gold colour scheme.

<p>RailRoad: BR Class 55, 55002 &#039;KOYLI&#039; BR Green (Sound Fitted)
This RailRoad Class 55 &amp;lsquo;Deltic&amp;rsquo; diesel was built for high-speed express trains making it the perfect diesel for pulling a rake of coaches. It comes DCC-ready with a Next 18-pin plug, meaning it can be upgraded to run on DCC and with our HM7000 Bluetooth-controlled system, which also includes sound via a speaker inside the locomotive.
The production &amp;lsquo;Deltics&amp;rsquo; were a powerful Type 5 locomotive, designed for high-speed express passenger services on the East Coast Main Line. When introduced in 1961, these were the most powerful diesel locomotives in the world. Powered by two big Napier diesel engines, these locomotives – later known as Class 55s – were capable of speeds of up to 117mph (188km/h) and all were given names in the best tradition of East Coast express locomotives.
Known affectionately as &amp;lsquo;KOYLI&amp;rsquo; by enthusiasts, 55002 is finished in a two-tone green livery, reminiscent of the early 1960s, but with full yellow ends and the classic white cab window surrounds.

<p>RailRoad Plus: Class 73 73128 GBRf NSE (Sound Fitted)
This RailRoad Class 73 diesel has been used for both passenger and freight trains over the years, so it is suited to many model railway layouts. It comes fitted with a 21-pin plug, so you can run it on DCC or with our HM7000 Bluetooth-controlled system, which also includes sound via a speaker inside the locomotive.Introduced by BR in 1963, what is now known as the Class 73 is an electro-diesel locomotive, which are also referred to as EDs. As well as operating on the Southern Region&amp;rsquo;s 650-750v DC third-rail network, these locomotives have a 600hp diesel engine, allowing them to work over non-electrified routes and into sidings and yards where there isn&amp;rsquo;t a third rail power source. From new, all 49 locomotives were fitted for push-pull working with Southern Region multiple units.
No. 73128 is owned by GBRf and has been painted in the attractive red, white and blue retro livery of former BR sector Network SouthEast and was named &amp;lsquo;Kent &amp;amp; East Sussex Railway&amp;rsquo; at Robertsbridge in honour of the heritage line&amp;rsquo;s 50th anniversary in June 2024.
