Hornby Railroad: BR Class 47 47749 'Atlantic Collage' RES

Railroad: BR Class 47 47749 'Atlantic Collage' RES This OO gauge model locomotive represents a Class 47 example that emerged from Crewe Works in February 1965 as D1660.  It was allocated to Swansea’s Landore MPD, before being named ‘City of Truro’ at Truro station in June that year. It became 47076 under TOPs, then was reclassified as a 47/4 in November 1984, when it became 47625. In the 1990s, it became part of the RES pool for operating mail and parcels trains and, in November 1995, was modified to 47/7b, with longer-range fuel tanks and equipment for operating with a propelling control vehicle (PCV). It was given the number 47749 and named ‘Atlantic College’. - DCC Ready 21-Pin Socket - OO Scale

Hornby BR Class 43 HST Virgin West Coast 'Lady in Red' Train Pack

BR Class 43 HST Virgin West Coast 'Lady in Red' Train Pack This Virgin Class 43 HST 'Lady in Red' train pack brings the vibrant red and black livery to your model railway layout, creating quite an impression as it moves around the tracks. This OO gauge locomotive model has NEM tension lock couplings and a 21-pin socket, so you can upgrade to HM7000 control when you are ready.  Virgin Trains won both the InterCity West Coast and InterCity CrossCountry franchises following privatisation of BR, commencing services under its Virgin branding in 1997. It inherited a variety of locomotives and rolling stock from BR, including InterCity 125 HST sets.  Class 43 power car 43093 had been named ‘York Festival 88’ under BR, but was renamed ‘Lady in Red’ in 1997, which it carried until 2003, while 43097 had been called ‘The Light Infantry’ until 1990, but entered service with Virgin CrossCountry without a name. Painted in the company’s red and black livery, with white markings, both later became part of First Great Western’s HST fleet. - DCC Ready 21-Pin Socket - OO Scale

Hornby LNER Flying Scotsman & GWR Pendennis Castle (Australian Tour)

LNER Flying Scotsman & GWR Pendennis Castle (Australian Tour) Train Pack  In 1988, Australia celebrated its bicentenary and, to mark the occasion, the world-famous ‘Flying Scotsman’ was invited to travel from Britain to take part in a series of railtours that were part of the ‘Aus Steam 88’ Festival, arriving in October that year.  Already resident in Western Australia since 1977, in the care of the Pilbara Railway Historical Society, former GWR ‘Castle’ Class 4-6-0 ‘Pendennis Castle’ was moved by road to Perth in early 1989 to operate alongside its one-time rival ‘A3’ Class ‘Pacific’. 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.  This LNER and GWR Train Pack celebrates that landmark event in Australia 37 years ago in 1989. Featuring OO gauge locomotive model replicas of 'Flying Scotsman' and 'Pendennis Castle', 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. - DCC Ready 21-Pin Socket - OO Scale

Hornby LNER K1 2005 LNER Apple Green (Preserved)

LNER K1 2005 LNER Apple Green (Preserved) The LNER K1 Class is a must-have addition to your steam model railway. With sprung metal buffers and NEM tension lock couplings, you can upgrade to DCC control by adding a 21-pin decoder (sold seperately).  The ‘K1s’ were useful and versatile engines, working extensively across former LNER territory, but were mostly associated with north-east England and also the West Highland Line to Fort William and Mallaig.  No. 62005 was the final member of the 70-strong class to remain in service, being withdrawn from Leeds Holbeck in December 1967. Though it survives today in preservation, it was initially acquired as a source of spares for already-preserved ‘K4’ 3442. However, in 1972 it was donated to the North Eastern Locomotive Preservation Group and based at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, where it was restored in its own right, returning to steam in 1975. - DCC Ready 21-Pin Socket - OO Scale

Hornby LNER K1 62046 BR Lined Black (Early)

LNER K1 62046 BR Lined Black (Early) Add a BR (Early) K1 Class locomotive to your model railway layout today. This stylish OO steam engine features sprung metal buffers and NEM tension lock couplings, and you can upgrade to DCC control by adding a 21 pin decoder (sold seperately).  Built in 1949/50, after the formation of BR in 1948, but to an LNER design that was instigated by Edward Thompson, with the conversion of a three-cylinder ‘K4’ at Darlington in 1945, the two-cylinder ‘K1s’ were much modified by Thompson’s successor as Chief Mechanical Engineer, Arthur H Peppercorn. No.62046 emerged from the North British Locomotive Works in Glasgow in October 1949 and was first allocated to Darlington shed. After a reallocation to York (North) in June 1956, the locomotive ended its career there in February 1967 and was scrapped by Hughes Bolckow at Blyth during April. - DCC Ready 21-Pin Socket - OO Scale

Hornby LNER P2 2004 'Mons Meg' LNER Apple Green

LNER P2 2004 'Mons Meg' LNER Apple Green 'Mons Meg' is a stunning example of one of Nigel Gresley's P2 engines, sporting a stylish green livery. It has sprung metal buffers and NEM tension lock couplings, with a 21-pin socket ready for upgrade to HM7000 control.  Nigel Gresley designed the P2s for hauling heavy express trains along the demanding route between Edinburgh and Aberdeen. Six were introduced between 1934 and 1936. The first three locomotives differed in appearance, the third having the wedge-shaped front similar to the A4s which was adopted for the remainder of the class. The first two also later converted.  Even then, 2004 was fitted with an experimental butterfly valve blastpipe bypass and the last two also had design differences, meaning that none of the six were built the same. All were subsequently rebuilt by Thompson as conventional Pacifics in 1943/4 by Gresley’s successor, Edward Thompson. - DCC Ready 21-Pin Socket - OO Scale
