Hornby RailRoad Plus: BR Class 58 58020 RailFreight 'Doncaster Works'

RailRoad Plus: BR Class 58 58020 RailFreight 'Doncaster Works' This RailRoad Class 58 is a wonderful freight locomotive to add to your layout, carrying a BR grey paint scheme with a large BR logo on its side. This model comes with a socket for an 8-pin decoder, 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. First delivered in 1983 the BR Class 58 was designed and built for heavy freight. Its narrow body with a cab at each end earned it the nickname of ‘bone’ in the railway community. Fifty of the class were built and lasted for around two decades until finally being withdrawn in 2002 with the introduction of the Class 66’s. Most of the class were sadly scrapped but there is one example still operational and a number of them in storage or under restoration. - DCC Ready 8-Pin Socket - OO Scale

EFE Rail Hudswell Clarke 0-6-0 Tank Lined Blue

Hudswell Clarke 0-6-0 Tank Lined Blue - O Scale Bachmann has partnered with Australian manufacturer Ixion Model Railways to bring their award-winning Hudswell Clarke 0-6-0 Tank Locomotives to the EFE Rail range, becoming the brand’s first O Scale Steam Locomotive. Voted as model of the year by readers of Model Rail Magazine and RMweb, the Hudswell Clarke certainly packs a punch for such a small locomotive, with its high level of detailing, and smooth and powerful performance thanks to its impressive weight – resulting from the high use of diecast components in its construction. Boasting finescale wheels and with a sprung rear wheelset, the Hudswell Clarke will navigate O gauge track with ease, collecting power from each of the six wheels. Between the sprung metal buffers is a sprung drawgear which is fitted with three-link couplings. The powerful five pole motor is fitted with a large flywheel driving the center wheelset via a precision 40:1 gearbox, meanwhile DCC provision comes in the form of a 8 Pin decoder socket and space and connections are provided for those wishing to fit a speaker and sound decoder. The highly detailed bodyshell is adorned with numerous separate components, from the handrails and lamp irons to the whistle and safety valves, and the detailing continues inside the cab which includes controls and dials. The livery application is executed precisely, extending to the cab interior and the underframe too, where components like the wheels and sandboxes are decorated accordingly to give each model a neat, uniform appearance. For that little bit extra, each model is supplied with a set of loco tools, including shovels, picks, rakes and prickers, plus a bucket and oil cans to help you personalize your Hudswell Clarke Tank.

Major modifications were required for the Class 43 power cars to make them compatible with the Mk3 coaches. These included changing the train supply from three-phase to 1,000V conventional ETS, fitting jumper connections, changing the central door locking system and more modifications to the couplings and electrical systems. Grand Central launched their new London King’s Cross to Sunderland passenger service on 18 December 2007. No. 43465 was outshopped from Crewe Works in October 1977 as 43065 in an InterCity Blue and Grey livery. The locomotive entered traffic straight after at Heaton. Not long after, it was repainted into an InterCity Swallow livery. In the late 1980s, 43065 was one of eight power cars fitted with buffers and TDM multiple working equipment to make sure it could work with brand new Class 91 electric locomotives using Mk3 rolling stock. Grand Central acquired 43065 and refurbished the locomotive at Brush Traction in 2010.  It faced a renumbering change to 43465 and acquired a new Grand Central black and orange striped livery. In 2017, the Grand Central Class 43 locomotives were purchased by East Midlands Trains with the last Grand Central HST service commencing on New Year’s Eve. By 2018, 43465 was painted in an East Midlands Trains blue livery with red and orange stripes. This livery was updated for the ex-Grand Central HSTs by featuring a deeper blue gradient. 43365 is currently in service as a Rail Adventure power car and was part of Rail Adventure’s first dive onto British rails, with the company previously only being based out of Germany. No. 43484 was outshopped from Crewe Works on 25 February 1978 in a BR InterCity blue and yellow livery and was also part of unit 254015. The locomotive entered service in April of the same year. Not long after, it was repainted into an InterCity Swallow livery.
