<p>SR, Merchant Navy 21C1 &#039;Channel Packet&#039; (TXS Steam Generator)
Locomotive 21C1 &#039;Channel Packet&#039; was the first of the Merchant Navy class, entering service in 1941 at Salisbury and then Exmouth Junction from 1942. Renumbered &#039;35001&#039; under British Railways in 1948, &#039;Channel Packet&#039; was allocated to Stewarts Lane from 1957 until rebuilding in 1959. This model features DCC sound and steam functionality to recreate the first of Bulleid&amp;rsquo;s powerful and iconic Merchant Navy locomotives.&amp;nbsp;
Detail features:&amp;nbsp;

High detail OO gauge model based on extensive research and original works drawings&amp;nbsp;
High detail cab with fully decorated backhead and decorated instrument dials&amp;nbsp;
Opening cab roof vent&amp;nbsp;
Removable simulated coal load with fully detailed tender bunker
Accurately modelled Merchant Navy Bullied-Firth-Brown wheels

5000 gallon tender in its original condition with raves yet to be cut back
Cast trailing truck
Separately fitted nameplate, number plate and company ownership plate
Horseshoe smokebox door company plate&amp;nbsp;
Sprung metal buffers
Heavy die-cast chassis, pony truck and trailing truck&amp;nbsp;

Electronics &amp;amp; traction features:&amp;nbsp;

Pre-fitted steam generator system featuring an optical sensor for accurate chuff rate synchronised with the wheel speed. Steam output is created using piezo element technology. This is a cold water-based system (no heating element)&amp;nbsp;
Pre-fitted 21-pin HM7000 decoder and speaker. The decoder is compatible with NMRA DCC controllers and HM7000 app control&amp;nbsp;
Pre-installed Merchant Navy sound profile for accurate locomotive sounds, synchronised with the chuff rate and steam effect
Adjustable steam output settings via the decoder&amp;nbsp;
Water reservoir for up to 20 minutes of continuous steam running
Die-cast connecting rods and valve gear&amp;nbsp;
Powerful 5-pole skew-wound motor&amp;nbsp;
Flywheel with cardan shaft arrangement for smooth running&amp;nbsp;
Oilite main drive bearings&amp;nbsp;
Wheel pickups on tender &amp;amp; driven locomotive wheelsets&amp;nbsp;
Pogo pin wheel pickup arrangement for easy pickup servicing&amp;nbsp;
8-way locomotive to tender drawbar, with integrated electrical connection for easy coupling and decoupling
Front and rear NEM coupling pockets, with narrow tension lock couplings&amp;nbsp;
Optional fit rear flanged wheelset (only recommended for larger layouts with sweeping curves or display purposes)&amp;nbsp;

Please note: This model requires a DCC controller or the HM7000 app to control.&amp;nbsp;

<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.

Locomotive information and history:
The first diesel shunters were pioneered by the LMS which began trialling designs during the 1930s. It soon became apparent that this form of traction offered many advantages over the steam locomotive – the former being &amp;lsquo;ready to use&amp;rsquo; as and when required, whereas steam locos had to be kept at the ready even when not required immediately – with the obvious staffing and fuel costs associated with doing so. By the time of Nationalisation in 1948, the LMS had built various shunters and the 12033 series was adopted by BR as the basis for a new standard design of diesel-electric shunting locomotive. As a stop gap whilst the Class 08 was being developed, BR constructed further 12033 series locomotives and these would later be designated as Class 11s.
Production of the 08s began in 1952 with the first example, No. 13000, entering traffic in 1953. Construction continued until 1962 and during the ten year period, 996 locomotives were built making the Class 08 the most numerous of all British locomotive classes. In addition, construction of the near-identical Class 09s (26 examples) and Class 10s (171) took the total well above a thousand – the former differed in having higher gearing whilst the latter had different engines and transmission.
Built &amp;lsquo;in-house&amp;rsquo; at BR&amp;rsquo;s Crewe, Darlington, Derby, Doncaster and Horwich Works, the 08s were allocated across the BR regions, with many being based at major stations and terminals where stock was marshalled and positioned ready for service, where trains were divided or merged, and of course at many freight facilities. Although they had a top speed of just 15 mph, what the 08s lacked in speed they more than made up for with tractive effort which was more than double that of the 03s and 04s.
Although the first example was withdrawn in 1967, just four had gone prior to the introduction of TOPS and despite an ever-decreasing need for shunting locomotives, around a quarter of the Class remained in traffic at the start of the 21st century. Upon Privatisation of British Rail in 1994, EWS inherited many of the survivors, with others going to passenger operators for use as depot shunters. More than a decade later EWS was still operating over 40 of the shunters, with many more in store. Even today, Class 08s can still be found earning their keep at numerous depots, freight facilities and railway workshops. Meanwhile, ever since the first withdrawals Class 08s have been popular machines with heritage railways and today, more than 70 have found a new lease of life in preservation – often carrying out similar tasks to those for which they were designed some seven decades ago.</p></description>
