<p>MR 3835 (4F) w/ Johnson-Deeley Tender 3850 LMS Black
The 4Fs were simple yet beautiful machines and the Branchline model pays homage to that with high fidelity mouldings for the main components like the smokebox, boiler, firebox and cab, which are all mounted on a diecast metal running plate. Countless separate detailing parts are then added like the metal handrails, turned brass safety valves, lamp irons and lubricators. Sprung metal buffers are fitted to both bufferbeams.
The locomotive&amp;rsquo;s diecast chassis is enhanced with brake blocks, brake rigging and sandboxes with separate wire sandpipes, whilst between the frames a representation of the inside motion is present. This attention to detail extends to the tender, while the tender drawbar is adjustable to suit individual layout conditions and electrical connections are incorporated into the drawbar.
Look inside the cab and you will find a sublime level of detail; the boiler backhead boasts an array of separately fitted pipework, controls and dials, all of which are enhanced further with bespoke decoration. A poseable fallplate is fitted to the rear of the cab to complete the look.
The Branchline 4F runs as well as it looks thanks to a power full three pole motor and diecast metal gearbox. The locomotive driving wheels run in separate metal bearings and all six driving wheels are equipped with electrical pickups, tender pickups are included too. The tender houses a 21 Pin decoder socket and pre-fitted speaker, making it easy to upgrade this model to DCC or DCC sound.

<p>LMS 10000 BR Black (Early)
The LMS &amp;lsquo;Twins&amp;rsquo; – Nos. 10000 and 10001 – were the very first mainline diesel locomotives built in the UK and this Bachmann Branchline model tells the story of No. 10000 during its time working on the Southern Region.
Built by the LMS and so becoming part of the Midland Region&amp;rsquo;s fleet under BR, after five years in traffic the &amp;lsquo;Twins&amp;rsquo; were sent to the Southern Region (SR) between 1953 and 1955 for trails alongside the SR&amp;rsquo;s own prototype diesels. To work on the SR, additional headcode lights and brackets were fitted to suit the Southern 6 position headcode system as displayed on this model of No. 10000, which is depicted in its striking black and silver livery with early emblems.
The Bachmann Branchline model is a highly detailed replica of the pioneering prototype, adorned with numerous separately fitted components to accurately capture the appearance of this iconic machine. The livery application captures the splendour of this elegant locomotive, whilst engine room detailing has been replicated through the bodyside windows for the first time. Inside, the proven combination of a five pole motor and twin flywheels, driving both bogies and with all-wheel drive will provide enough power for any prototypical train. Smooth running is assured thanks to the use of separate metal bearings on each axle. The 21 Pin DCC decoder socket makes it easy to equip this model for DCC use, and there&amp;rsquo;s space for a speaker to be fitted if you wish to add sound.

<p>LMS 10001 BR Lined Green (Late Crest)
The LMS &amp;lsquo;Twins&amp;rsquo; – Nos. 10000 and 10001 – were the very first mainline diesel locomotives built in the UK and this Bachmann Branchline model pays homage to the youngest of the pair, 10001.
Built by the LMS and so becoming part of the Midland Region&amp;rsquo;s fleet under BR, after five years in traffic the &amp;lsquo;Twins&amp;rsquo; were sent to the Southern Region (SR) between 1953 and 1955 for trails alongside the SR&amp;rsquo;s own prototype diesels. To work on the SR, additional headcode lights and brackets were fitted to suit the Southern 6 position headcode system and these remained a feature of both locomotives thereafter, as displayed on this model of No. 10001 which is depicted in BR Green livery and with the late crests that were applied by BR from 1956. By this time the pair had returned to the Midland Region and were employed on duties across the region.
The Bachmann Branchline model of No. 10001 is a highly detailed replica of the prototype, adorned with numerous separately fitted components to accurately capture the appearance of this pioneering machine. The livery application captures the splendour of this elegant locomotive, whilst engine room detailing has been replicated through the bodyside windows for the first time. Inside, the proven combination of a five pole motor and twin flywheels, driving both bogies and with all-wheel drive will provide enough power for any prototypical train.

<p>GCR 9J (J11) 64305 BR Black (Early Emblem)
The Great Central Railway was a big mover of goods and amongst the locomotives it built for this purpose were the 9J 0-6-0s. Upon becoming part of the LNER in 1924 the 9Js were reclassified as J11s and this designation stayed remained into British Railways life and until withdrawal. Nicknamed &amp;lsquo;Pom Poms&amp;rsquo; because their exhaust noise sounded very similar to the guns of the same name, these freight workhorses are replicated in OO scale by Bachmann Branchline.
The J11s carried all the hallmarks of a locomotive designed by the GCR&amp;rsquo;s Chief Mechanical Engineer John G. Robinson and these features are replicated on the Branchline model using a precision moulded boiler, smokebox and firebox mounted on a diecast metal running plate. The distinctive Robinson cab is another high-fidelity moulding, within which boiler backhead is replicated using an array of separately fitted pipework, controls and dials, all of which are enhanced further with bespoke decoration.
The GCR tender has a distinctive look too with its high capacity and flared top edges, and again these trademark features are captured in miniature using high-fidelity mouldings. Coupling to the locomotive via a drawbar that is adjustable to suit individual layout conditions, electrical connections are integrated into it and a hinged fallplate is also fitted to the tender. Across the model separate components are added, from the metal handrails and sprung metal buffers, to the lamp irons at the front and rear, to complete the look of this freight machine.
The locomotive&amp;rsquo;s diecast chassis is enhanced with brake blocks, brake rigging and sandboxes with separate wire sandpipes, whilst between the frames a representation of the inside motion is present. The black colour scheme is replicated with the usual care and attention that you expect from Bachmann Branchline, resulting in a paint finish that is rich and consistent throughout. Details like the running number, plates and plaques are then added using precision printing techniques for full authenticity.
The Branchline J11 runs as well as it looks thanks to a power full three pole motor and diecast metal gearbox. The locomotive driving wheels run in separate metal bearings and all six driving wheels are equipped with electrical pickups, tender pickups are included too. The tender houses a 21 Pin decoder socket and pre-fitted speaker, making it easy to upgrade this model to DCC or DCC sound.

Built by English Electric at its Vulcan Foundry in Lancashire, the locomotive this RailRoad model is based on started life in January 1961 as D6705, going new to Stratford depot in London.&amp;nbsp;
After becoming 37005 under TOPS, it was rebuilt as a Class 37/5 in April 1985, which included replacing its EE generator with a new Brush unit, and a complete re-wire, with a consequent renumbering to 37501. It was then painted into its distinctive British Steel pale blue colour scheme, gaining Thornaby Kingfisher motif and British Steel logos. It was then named &amp;lsquo;Teesside Steelmaster&amp;rsquo; in 1987.&amp;nbsp;
It was later modified for the proposed Channel Tunnel sleeper &amp;lsquo;Nightstar&amp;rsquo; project (which was later aborted) to become a 37/6 in February 1995 and renumbered to 37601. It is currently one of six Class 37s leased by Rail Operations Group from Europhoenix for contracted movement of passenger stock, including EMUs. It was returned to its 1987 guise during a repaint in 2025.&amp;nbsp;
This RailRoad model locomotive is a durable design, perfect for model railway beginners, younger enthusiasts, or anyone who enjoys running their trains daily.

<p>LNER Flying Scotsman &amp;amp; GWR Pendennis Castle (Australian Tour) Train Pack&amp;nbsp;
In 1988, Australia celebrated its bicentenary and, to mark the occasion, the world-famous &amp;lsquo;Flying Scotsman&amp;rsquo; was invited to travel from Britain to take part in a series of railtours that were part of the &amp;lsquo;Aus Steam 88&amp;rsquo; Festival, arriving in October that year.&amp;nbsp;
Already resident in Western Australia since 1977, in the care of the Pilbara Railway Historical Society, former GWR &amp;lsquo;Castle&amp;rsquo; Class 4-6-0 &amp;lsquo;Pendennis Castle&amp;rsquo; was moved by road to Perth in early 1989 to operate alongside its one-time rival &amp;lsquo;A3&amp;rsquo; Class &amp;lsquo;Pacific&amp;rsquo;. This unlikely reunion occurred almost 9,000 miles from where a week-long locomotive exchange once took place between the LNER and GWR, in April 1925.&amp;nbsp;
This LNER and GWR Train Pack celebrates that landmark event in Australia 37 years ago in 1989. Featuring OO gauge locomotive model replicas of &#039;Flying Scotsman&#039; and &#039;Pendennis Castle&#039;, these highly detailed designs include sprung metal buffers and NEM tension lock couplings for smooth rake creation. Add a 21-pin decoder to upgrade to HM7000 control.

<p>LNER A4 4498 &#039;Sir Nigel Gresley&#039; w/ Figure (Limited Edition) (150th Anniversary Collection)
The LNER Class A4 Sir Nigel Gresley model locomotive is a limited edition model and part of The Great Railway Engineers Collection. This Collection marks 150 years since Sir Gresley&#039;s birth, and this locomotive includes a figure.&amp;nbsp;
With a shiny new blue livery and NEM tension lock couplings, this steam locomotive is a wonderful collector&#039;s piece.&amp;nbsp;
Entering service with the LNER as 4498 in Garter blue with streamlined side-skirting and red wheels, this was the 100th Gresley &amp;lsquo;Pacific&amp;rsquo; to be built when it emerged from Doncaster Works in October 1937. Allocated to King&amp;rsquo;s Cross &amp;lsquo;Top Shed&amp;rsquo; and used on front-line express services such as the prestigious &amp;lsquo;Coronation&amp;rsquo; between London and Edinburgh, &amp;lsquo;SNG&amp;rsquo; was built with a single chimney and had stainless steel numbers and letters for the tender added at a general overhaul in January 1939.&amp;nbsp;
After a period in wartime black, when the side-skirts were permanently removed, the locomotive returned to lined Garter blue in March 1947. Painted into BR&amp;rsquo;s express passenger blue in September 1950, as 60007, it set a post-war steam record speed of 112mph on 23 May 1959. Withdrawn in February 1966, by now in BR green, it was saved for preservation by the A4 Locomotive Society.

<p>LMS Streamlined 6220 &#039;Coronation&#039; w/ Figure (Limited Edition) (150th Anniversary Collection)
The LMS Streamlined &#039;Coronation&#039; model locomotive is a limited edition item and part of The Great Railway Engineers Collection. This Collection marks 150 years since Sir Stanier&#039;s birth, and this locomotive includes a figure. With a shiny bold red livery and NEM tension lock couplings, this steam locomotive is a must-have for collectors.
The &amp;lsquo;Princess Coronation&amp;rsquo; Class, also known as the &amp;lsquo;Duchess&amp;rsquo; Class, was an enlarged and improved version of William Stanier&amp;rsquo;s successful &amp;lsquo;Princess Royal&amp;rsquo; Class &amp;lsquo;Pacific&amp;rsquo;. The first ten class members emerged from Crewe Works in a streamlined form during 1937 and five of these were put aside specifically for hauling the prestigious &amp;lsquo;Coronation Scot&amp;rsquo; between London Euston and Glasgow Central. These were painted in Caledonian blue and had silver horizontal lining, which matched the carriages they pulled.
No. 6220 set a new British steam speed record of 114mph in 1937, but this was beaten by the LNER&amp;rsquo;s &amp;lsquo;Mallard&amp;rsquo; in 1938. Built with a single chimney, 6220 was the last of the original 15 to be fitted with a double blast pipe and chimney in 1944. The locomotive&amp;rsquo;s streamlined casing was removed in November 1946, and it finished its career in its rebuilt form with smoke deflectors as BR&amp;rsquo;s 46220 in April 1963.

<p>Class 150/1 2-Car DMU 150101 Northern
The Class 150 Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) is an enduring design, first introduced in 1984 much of the fleet remains in service today with operators including Northern Trains. The distinctive blue and white livery of Northern makes a return to the Branchline Class 150 DMU, this time on a Class 150/1 as classmate 150101.
Constructed from a highly detailed bodyshell which is adorned with separate components like the cab front handrails, roof ariels and exhaust, the Branchline model replicates the Class 150/1 faithfully. This announcement is also the first time we have produced Class 150/1&amp;rsquo;s with an accessible toilet in the DMSL, as signified by the blanked off toilet window on one side. The underframe boasts a suite of parts to depict the engine, drive train, electrical gear and auxiliary equipment, while inside the model, passenger seating is included along with cab detail. The livery application, using authentic colours and accurate typefaces and logos just enhances the model&amp;rsquo;s good looks, while the powerful and smooth drive mechanism and plug and play DCC compatibility makes the Class 150 DMU the perfect addition to any modern OO scale collection.
This model is a sales area exclusive and is only available from stockists in Scotland and Northern England.

<p>BR Class 153 153360 Serco Northern Rail
The Hornby Class 153 No. 153360 is finished in the distinctive Northern Rail livery, representing its appearance during regular service in the north of England. It is DCC ready with a 21-pin decoder socket for easy digital upgrade and fitted with NEM couplings.
History:
The Northern Rail franchise commenced in December 2004 and inherited its fleet from those of Arriva Trains Northern and First North Western, including a large number of Class 153 single units, of which No. 153360 was one.&amp;nbsp;
Under Northern Rail, the unit saw considerable use in the Carlisle area, including services on the Settle and Carlisle line and the Cumbria coastal line to Barrow-in-Furness.&amp;nbsp;
Arriva Rail North, Northern Rail&amp;rsquo;s successor from 2016, operated the largest fleet of Class 153 units in the UK. No. 153360 went into storage in late 2021 and was subsequently scrapped.

<p>GWR Saint Class 2920 &#039;Saint David&#039; BR Lined Black (Early)
Of the 77 Saint Class members built by GWR between 1902 and 1913, 2920 &amp;lsquo;Saint David&amp;rsquo; was one of the 47 that survived beyond nationalisation of Britain&amp;rsquo;s railways in 1948. Part of the third batch of 20 to be built in 1907, the locomotive was new to Cardiff Canton shed. It underwent several changes during its career, including the fitting of a superheated boiler in 1909 and outside steam pipes in December 1932. This model is presented in BR livery, the condition in which it operated through to its withdrawal in October 1953, by which point it was one of the last four still in service.
This model was developed with the helpful guidance from the Didcot Railway Center who kindly gave us access to their archive of drawings and access to the Lady of Legend locomotive.
The Saint class model features a powerful 5 pole skew wound motor, flickering firebox and is designed to be fully compatible with the HM7000 21-Pin decoder for full DCC and sound control.

<p>RailRoad Plus: Class 66 66711 Aggregates Industries &#039;Sence&#039;
This RailRoad Class 66 diesel was built for freight trains and operates across the UK making it the perfect locomotive for your model freight train. It is compatible with many wagons from Hornby. It comes DCC-ready with a 21-pin plug, meaning it can be upgraded to run on DCC or with our HM7000 Bluetooth-controlled system, which also includes sound via a speaker inside the locomotive.
This GBRf-owned locomotive is finished in the attractive turquoise, blue and silver colours of Aggregate Industries, at whose quarry at Bardon Hill it was named &amp;lsquo;Sence&amp;rsquo; in July 2015. The name refers to the River Sence which has its source just north of the quarry.

<p>RailRoad Plus: Class 66 66723 GBRf &#039;Chinook&#039;
This RailRoad Class 66 diesel was built for freight trains and operates across the UK making it the perfect locomotive for your model freight train. It is compatible with many wagons from Hornby. It comes fitted with a 21-pin plug, meaning it can be run on DCC and with our HM7000 Bluetooth-controlled system, which also includes sound via a speaker inside the locomotive.
The Class 66 is a heavy-freight diesel-electric locomotive, a development of the earlier Class 59 which was a great success in the UK with Foster Yeoman. Like its predecessor, EMD Co-Cos have all been built in North America, with 480 supplied to UK operators between 1998 and 2008 and 2014 and 2015. Many more were bought secondhand from mainland European operators, so it is no surprise that these machines handle the lion&amp;rsquo;s share of freight traffic in the UK today. Despite being called &amp;lsquo;sheds&amp;rsquo; by enthusiasts because of their shape, they have carried many colourful and innovative liveries.No. 66723 &amp;lsquo;Chinook&amp;rsquo; is in GBRf blue and orange livery, and is named in honour of the RAF&amp;rsquo;s 7, 18 and 27 Squadrons based at Odiham in Hampshire. This is also the home of the CH-47 Chinook heavy lift helicopter, one of which adorns each side of the locomotive&amp;rsquo;s body.

<p>Dublo: BR (Early) Princess Coronation Duchess of Buccleuch 46230
&amp;nbsp;
Also known as the &amp;lsquo;Duchess&amp;rsquo; Class, Stanier&amp;rsquo;s &amp;lsquo;Princess Coronations&amp;rsquo; were among the biggest and most powerful express passenger locomotives in Britain.&amp;nbsp;
Thirty-five were built at Crewe Works between 1937 and 1948, many having streamlined casing. Ten were set aside for hauling the prestigious &amp;lsquo;Coronation Scot&amp;rsquo; between London Euston and Glasgow. No. 46230 wasn&amp;rsquo;t one of those, but it was the first of the third batch of locomotives, which consisted of five non-streamlined versions, and went new to Camden in June 1938 as LMS No. 6230.&amp;nbsp;
At Nationalisation in 1948, the locomotive became BR No. 46230 and was painted in lined Brunswick green as depicted by the model. At the time, the locomotive was based at Polmadie shed in Glasgow, from where it was withdrawn in December 1963.

Conceived in the late-1930s to take advantage of the Southern&amp;rsquo;s expansive electrified network, two of these Co-Co locomotives were built, gaining the nickname the &amp;lsquo;Boosters&amp;rsquo; due to their motor-generator-flywheel drive arrangement employed to overcome &amp;lsquo;gapping&amp;rsquo;, when the locomotive could momentarily loose its electrical supply when travelling over gaps in the conductor rail.
Produced especially for the EFE Rail range, this all-new model features a wealth of detail with a varied tooling suite allowing the first two locomotives, CC1 and CC2, to be modelled accurately at various points in their careers. Driven by a 5 pole, skew wound motor with flywheel, each of the six axles are driven whilst all twelve wheels provide electrical pickup. Directional lighting will operate in the forwards direction (the real locomotives were not fitted with tail lights), whilst cab lighting can be operated using a magnetic wand when used on analogue control, or when a 21 Pin DCC decoder is fitted, via two DCC functions. A speaker is pre-fitted to every model, allowing a sound decoder to be fitted to bring another dimension to your model in an instant.

Representing the original Cardiff Canton batch of six Class 37/4 conversions is No. 37429, &amp;lsquo;refurbished&amp;rsquo; by Crewe Works from No. 37300 (originally D6600) in March 1986. Nos. 37426-37431 were originally planned to join the rest of the sub class on the Scottish Region. However, before they were completed the London Midland identified a more pressing need for this batch, although they were allocated to Canton in South Wales due to this depot&amp;rsquo;s extensive knowledge of the English Electric Type 3s.
The introduction of Electric Train Heat (ETH) fitted locomotives to the restricted weight Cambrian route from Wolverhampton to the Welsh coast allowed InterCity to supplement its tired Mk.1 fleet on London Euston to Aberystwyth and Pwllheli services with air-conditioned Mk.2 coaches, although Mk.1s – often Network SouthEast liveried sets – were still regulars on the summer-dated trains into the 1990s. Unlike their cousins north of the border, the Welsh &amp;lsquo;37/4s&amp;rsquo; were primarily passenger machines and they also found themselves allocated to Liverpool Lime St/Manchester Piccadilly/North Wales-Cardiff and Cardiff-Bristol-Weymouth diagrams. Outshopped in large logo livery, it soon gained a small red Welsh dragon logo on the driver&amp;rsquo;s cabsides, and later acquired the Sir Dyfed / County of Dyfed nameplates from No. 37180 in April 1987.
However, they were removed after just four months and the locomotive was renamed Eisteddfod Genedlaethol – after the famous festival – in the August. In January 1991 it was released from Glasgow St Rollox Works in Railfreight Construction colours, and notably retained its red-backed nameplates like the other three &amp;lsquo;37/4s&amp;rsquo; to gain these particular squadron decals. It kept its name on its Regional Railways repaint in May 1993 and was stored in 2001. It was disposed of at EMR Kingsbury in February 2008.

<p>Class 37 37414 Triple Grey Construction Sector
The introduction of Class 156 &amp;lsquo;Super Sprinters&amp;rsquo; on the West Highland from January 1989 and on the Far North/Kyle lines in the May triggered an exodus of Class 37/4s to freight work. By the end of that year, Laira, Motherwell and Tinsley had gained allocations, while Immingham and Thornaby both acquired three locos each in the middle of 1990, by which point half the sub class were south of the border. One of these was No. 37414, which was on china clay duties in Cornwall until transferred to the North Lincolnshire depot&amp;rsquo;s FABI pool that September. This loco, which retained its Western Region-style lamp irons at the No.2 end only, had been repainted in the Roundel triple grey scheme with Distribution decals in August 1989, but quickly swapped these for more appropriate Construction brandings after its move. This saw it mostly outbased at Buxton in the Peak District to haul aggregates, cement and the iconic ICI limestone trains.While it wasn&amp;rsquo;t completely allergic to passenger work during this period, it moved to Crewe Diesel in November 1992 to join the RCMC Regional Railways North West pool, initially to work Liverpool Lime St/Crewe-Cardiff trains, still wearing its classic Railfreight image. In March 1993 it became the first member of the fleet to receive the new Regional Railways livery along with the name Cathays C&amp;amp;W Works 1846-1993, becoming a stalwart of the North Wales coast and the famed &amp;lsquo;club&amp;rsquo; trains from Liverpool and Manchester Victoria. It soldiered on until it was stored by EWS in March 2000 and was scrapped at TJ Thomson&amp;rsquo;s of Stockton exactly nine years later.

<p>Class 37 37421 Colas
Stored by EWS at Motherwell in March 2005 and sold for preservation at the Pontypool &amp;amp; Blaenavon Railway in 2009, No. 37421 was one of four Class 37s that was purchased by Colas Rail in 2013 for a return to the main line, along with Nos. 37116, 37175 and 37219. While the latter pair debuted for their new owner in the middle of 2014, it would be another year before No. 37421 would re-enter traffic along with BR green-liveried former Harry Needle Class 37/0 No. 37057/D6757, just in time to assist on the newly acquired Network Rail infrastructure monitoring contract.
For the next four years, the Colas Class 37/4 was a solid performer on various test formations, until called to South Wales in May 2019 to provide power for Cardiff-Rhymney line commuter turns along with hired-in Nos. 37025 and 37418. This followed a fallow few months when the locomotive was under repair and eventually returned after a bogie swap with No. 37175. The Rhymney workings ended in March 2020 and it was back to test train work, mixed in with NR saloon duties with No. 975025 Caroline and the odd infrastructure duty.
Cosmetically, towards the end of that same year it swapped its Colas &amp;lsquo;hard hat&amp;rsquo; logos for new diamond stickers, although it has stubbornly retained its unique arrangement of single lamp irons on different sides of the locomotive at each end. Despite the increasing number of Colas HST power cars on the NR services, No. 37421 is still a regular atop PLPR (Plain Line Pattern Recognition) and UTU (Ultrasonic Testing Unit) formations and is expected to remain a key component of the operator&amp;rsquo;s fleet for several years to come.

<p>Class 37 37408 &#039;Loch Rannoch&#039; EWS
Arguably the most popular of the Class 37/4s in the British Rail and early privatisation era, No. 37408 Loch Rannoch clinged obstinately to its large logo paint scheme – the last so adorned – until being called to Toton in mid-1998 for a repaint. Following a protracted overhaul, which included a new toughened centre window, it debuted in the revised maroon and gold of its owner EWS, sans-nameplates, in November and wasn&amp;rsquo;t reunited with its famous name until the following February.
Over the next seven years, the former No. 37289 (built as D6989) was a regular performer on loco-hauled services around the country, particularly Birmingham/Crewe-Bangor/Holyhead, Cardiff-Fishguard/Rhymney and Crewe/Manchester, Leeds-Carlisle/Knaresborough and even in Scotland on the Fort William sleeper. It could also be found on a wide variety of freight and even Railtrack/Network Rail test trains and was variously allocated to Crewe Diesel, Motherwell, Cardiff Canton, Toton and Margam during this period.Outshopped in the same livery in March 2002, its rock star status meant that it was never long before it gained various accoutrements, including regular bouts of Eastfield &amp;lsquo;Westies&amp;rsquo;, silver buffers, white lamp irons, black headcode panels and even Immingham 40B shedplates.
It seemed inevitable that Rannoch would return to large logo in due course and would have been a favourite for preservation, but after running away and colliding with its stabled rake of coaches at Rhymney on 1 August 2005 the locomotive was stored and repairs were not authorised. It was eventually scrapped at EMR Kingsbury in January 2008.

Locomotive information and history:
Having completed nearly 90,000 miles of test running since new, Sir Nigel Gresley&#039;s W1 4-6-4 No. 10000 entered Darlington Works on 21 August 1935 for what was anticipated to be a major overhaul and modification. During this period Gresley decided that it was time to rebuild 10000 as a three cylinder locomotive with a conventional firetube boiler. Subsequently, 10000 was moved to the Doncaster Works on 13 October 1936 and this is where the first drawing for the modification were being prepared.
When 10000 was finally released from Doncaster Works in November 1937, it was a significantly different locomotive, being fitted with a diagram 111 boiler that was very similar to the diagram 108 boiler fitted to No. 2006 &#039;Wolf of Badenoch&#039;, and with a streamlined casing to the same pattern as the A4 class. As many components as possible from the original W1 were used in the rebuild, including the frames, which were shortened by 1 ½ feet at the front end. Other items, where needed, were sourced from the A4 class, the A3 class or, like the front bogie, from the B17 and an experimental double Kylchap blastpipe and chimney was fitted. The locomotive was turned out in Garter Blue as per some of the A4&#039;s (in 1937 this became a standard livery).
The cab, while similar to that of the A4 class, 60700 was considerably longer and this led to the locomotive&#039;s tender&#039;s coal delivery chute having to be lengthened to compensate for the extra distance from the firebox doors. The original tender was retained, but with superficial modifications, such as to the curvature of the front plates and the addition of streamlined plating to the front and rear, although this was partially removed just a year later in 1938.
Up to the outbreak of war in 1939 and during the war years, 10000 worked mainly on Kings Cross main line duties and with its power and smooth riding it was a popular engine with the LNER&#039;s drivers, though less so with the firemen due to the distance between the shovelling plate and the firehole door. The locomotive also became more &#039;fitter&#039; friendly after April 1942 when the skirting was removed from ahead and behind the outside cylinders to improve access in wartime conditions. At this time the 10000 was painted in wartime Black livery and with only &#039;N E&#039; on the tender sides.
By 1946 and now repainted in Garter blue livery, the corridor tender was swapped for the streamlined non-corridor tender from 4462 (BR 60004) William Whitelaw and the locomotive was engaged in more varied duties, working occasional passenger services to Leeds and Cambridge from Kings Cross alongside the occasional &#039;lodging&#039; turns to Newcastle. By 1948 under the new British Railways, the locomotive received the number 60700 and &quot;British Railways&quot; insignia on the tender in Gills Sans font.
Following allocation to Doncaster on 25 October 1953, 60700 became a more frequent visitor to Leeds and also worked turns to Sheffield, as well as hauling Doncaster to Peterborough passenger services and various braked goods trains. In a similar circumstance to 10000 never receiving its proposed name of &#039;British Enterprise&#039; in November 1929, 60700 never received its intended name of &#039;Pegasus&#039;, for which the nameplates were cast on 13 April 1951. At this time the locomotive lost its Garter Blue livery for the new &quot;Express Passenger Blue&quot; with white and black lining.
After an interesting and slightly troubled life, the locomotive was scrapped at its Darlington birthplace in 1959. Interesting to note is that as 60700 was going into works for scrapping, the original marine boiler the locomotive was fitted with, had been perched on bricks as steam raising boiler outside the works and outlasted the locomotive by a few years.</p></description>

Locomotive information:
The British Railways Standard 9F Class was a 2-10-0 steam locomotive, the last of the standardised BR designs. The Robert Riddles design was intended as a long distance heavy express freight locomotive. In total 251 of the class were produced between January 1954 and March 1960, with the final locomotive No. 92220 &#039;Evening Star&#039; being the last steam locomotive built by British Railways.
The huge length of the 10 coupled driving wheels proved problematic when faced with tight curves, a situation that freight haulage would make inevitable. A solution was found by removing the flanges from the centre driving wheel and reducing the size on the flanges on the second and fourth driving axle&#039;s wheels.&amp;nbsp;
Riddles had chosen the 2-10-0 wheel configuration in-order to spread the load of the boiler over a greater area. This meant that the boiler had to be raised considerably compared to other designs to allow the firebox to sit above the trailing driving wheels. As a result, the 9F features a distinctive void between the suspended boiler and the footplate.
In operation the class proved extremely versatile. Not only did the 9F excel as a freight locomotive, but when required it also succeeded as a passenger locomotive. Reports even suggest that when 92220 &#039;Evening Star&#039; was used to pull the Red Dragon express service between Cardiff and London it was forced to delay its arrival to allow the restaurant services to be completed, having outperformed the normal Britannia Class locomotives used on the service.&amp;nbsp;
This was not the only time 9Fs had been recorded outperforming dedicated express locomotives and on such services the locomotives were capable of running at over 90mph. This combination of high speed, fast acceleration and powerful hauling capabilities mean that many consider the class to be pinnacle of British steam locomotive design.
Locomotive numbers 92165-92167 were built with a mechanical stoker. This system used a helical screw to move coal from the tender straight into the firebox. This meant that coal could be burnt a faster rate than a fireman could maintain otherwise.&amp;nbsp;
Systems like this proved extremely useful on long distance American railways however in Britain it was rare for a locomotive to require such as high rate of coal delivery over a long period of time meaning that a good fireman could prove just as effective.
Locomotive 92002 was the third such locomotive to be constructed by BR, being built at Crewe in 1954. The locomotive was outshopped with the BR1G tender and in the usual BR black colour scheme. The locomotive would go on to be one of the 106 locomotives withdrawn in 1967, the locomotive would not be preserved.</p></description>
