<p>Railroad: Class 3F &#039;Jinty&#039; Hart and Weaver Limited No.5
The LMS &amp;lsquo;Jinties&amp;rsquo; were used widely for shunting and station pilot duties and were so versatile, they were even capable of running at speeds of up to 60mph. When the first diesel shunters started to be introduced, surplus &amp;lsquo;Jinties&amp;rsquo; were sold to industrial users and some received bright liveries, such as this fictitious, but highly attractive, blue &amp;lsquo;Hart &amp;amp; Weaver&amp;rsquo; livery.&amp;nbsp;
This OO gauge RailRoad model of &quot;Jinty&quot; No.5 is perfect for shunting your industrial sidings.

<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 Withdrawn in February 1966, by now in BR green, it was saved for preservation by the A4 Locomotive Society.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>LNER A4 4468 &#039;Mallard&#039; LNER Garter Blue (Sound/Smoke Fitted)
One of the most famous of all steam locomotives, &amp;lsquo;Mallard&amp;rsquo; still holds the world speed record for steam. In July 1938, it reached 126mph on Stoke Bank.
Entering service in March of that year in LNER Garter blue, it had full side valances and red wheels, as depicted by our highly detailed model. It was renumbered 22 in 1946, by which time it carried wartime plain black. When it was withdrawn from King&amp;rsquo;s Cross in April 1963, it was in lined BR green and numbered 60022.
The locomotive is preserved in its original livery at the National Railway Museum in York. &#039;Mallard&#039; has always been one of our most popular models. In 2026, we have given the A4 a tooling update and the model now includes the new Hornby steam generator technology, working headlights and tender lights.

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!
The B4 Class were first introduced in the 1890&amp;rsquo;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, including the one we&#039;ve replicated here, &amp;lsquo;Normandy&amp;rsquo;, which still serves at the Bluebell Preserved Railway in the South East.

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>
