Hornby Class 802/3 802301 'Amy Johnson' Hull Trains Pack

Class 802/3 802301 'Amy Johnson' Hull Trains Pack  In 2019, Hull Trains launched a poll to find suggestions for naming its five Class 802-3 ‘Paragon’ trains.  As a result, set 802301 was named ‘Amy Johnson’ after the Hull-born pioneering pilot who became the first woman to fly solo between London and Australia in the 1930s, setting many long-distance flying records. This unit was the first of Hull Trains’ Class 802-3 bi-mode units, entering service on 25th November 2019. The five 5-car sets work express services between Hull and London King’s Cross. Our OO model Train Pack is a fantastic replica of this modern design, with HM7000 capability if you add a 21-pin decoder (sold separately). - DCC Ready 21-Pin Socket - OO Scale

Hornby LNER Azuma Class 801/2 801207 'Darlington' Train Pack (Rail200)

LNER Azuma Class 801/2 801207 'Darlington' Train Pack (Rail200) The ‘Azuma’ Class 801/1 and 801/2 sets, were introduced on the East Coast Main Line between 2017 and 2020. They are a development of the Class 800 bi-mode trains in the Hitachi AT300 product range, produced at their Newton Aycliffe facility in the north-east, but unlike their bi-mode counterparts, the Class 801s are the purely electric version of the ‘Azuma’, although they are fitted with ‘emergency’ diesel engines to allow them to limp home in case of overhead power failure.  The Class 801/2s are the full nine-car length trains, whereas the 801/1s operate as shorter five-car sets, often used in pairs. The first of the full-length Class 801/2s ran in November 2019, entering service on front-line London King’s Cross-Edinburgh trains, allowing the bi-mode Class 800/1s to be cascaded onto King’s Cross-Aberdeen services, which in turn replaced the remaining InterCity 125 sets on that route. There are currently 30 Class 801/2 sets in operation. Five of which are named, including Set No. 801207, which on 14 January was unveiled by LNER to mark the 200th Anniversary year of the opening of the Stockton & Darlington Railway.  The power cars carry LNER, ‘Azuma’ and ‘Railway 200’ markings, with the legend ‘Darlington’ towards their front ends. The five-car pack includes powered PDTRBF (Pantograph Driving Trailer Restaurant Buffet First) and non-powered PDTS (Pantograph Driving Trailer Standard) cars, plus three matching coaches; two MS (Motor Standard) cars and a MF (Motor First) car. These can be made up to a full nine-car set by the addition of Coach Pack R40493. - 21 Pin DCC Decoder Socket - OO Scale

Hornby RailRoad: Shepway Steelworks, Class B4, No. 9

RailRoad: Shepway Steelworks, Class B4, No. 9 This RailRoad B4 Class steam shunter is the ideal little tank engine for a model railway layout. Whether running a short train around a layout or shunting wagons in a goods yard, it is the perfect little steam engine for getting things moved! This RailRoad model is a good example of a privately owned steam shunter that could have been seen working in an industrial setting. The B4 Class were first introduced in the 1890’s with their original purpose being for station piloting and shunting freight wagons in docks. They were designed by London and South Western Railway (LSWR). The close wheel configuration made them ideal for shunting around tight radius curves that were common in docks and works yards with limited space. Two examples of these fine locomotives are still preserved today. - This Model is NOT DCC Ready - OO Scale

Hornby HM Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee HST Train Pack

HM Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee HST Train Pack - OO scale Includes - Accessory Bag - Fine Body detail - Accurate Bogie detail - Working Head and Tail lights - All wheel pick up and drive - 21 Pin DCC Ready (The Pack requires 2x Decoders for conversion to Digital) - OO Scale    Locomotive information and History: The Class 43 HST is a legend of the rails, the fastest diesel locomotive to ever operate in the United Kingdom. Since 1975 these powerful Bo-Bo locomotives have moved passengers across the country for business and for leisure, most ironically in their various BR guises. The Class 43 persists to this day as a stalwart of the rails under various operators including the mainline serving GWR, mainline maintaining Network Rail and some private operators such as Locomotive Services Limited on their Blue Pullman services.  This train pack, designed to commemorate the Platinum Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II depicts the Class 43 as they have never been seen before, in a livery questioning exactly how the legendary LNER would celebrate this special occasion if they were still operating, and nationalisation had never occurred. It would be nice to think that if the big four were never nationalised that we would still be able to see steam regularly on the mainline however this view is shrouded in nostalgia and ignores the operational benefits that diesel locomotives bring. If the LNER operated continuously into the modern era, this may be how they would mark this special occasion. The power cars in this set, while adorned with numbers that have been assigned to full size units, have had numbers chosen to celebrate prominent years of the queen’s reign. 43052 has been chosen as part of the numbering pattern for the full size examples and 52 for the year of the coronation, and 43022 follows the same pattern but for this very special year of Her Majesties reign.
