<p>Class 101 2-Car &#039;Power Twin&#039; DMU BR Green (Speed Whiskers)
The Class 101 Diesel Multiple Units were the most numerous of all the first generation DMUs and had a long service life, remaining in use for almost half a century, and we&amp;rsquo;re delighted to present N Scale models of this iconic unit as part of the Graham Farish range.
This two-car unit depicts a &amp;lsquo;Power Twin&amp;rsquo; comprising two vehicles equipped with an engine and the associated transmission and whilst all of these details are replicated faithfully on the Graham Farish model, just one of the vehicles is motorised. Each of the two cars is constructed from precision moulded bodyshells with flush glazing and a high level of raised and engraved detailing, from the ventilators and rivets found on the roof to the door furniture and window frames along each bodyside. Each chassis is adorned with all the underframe components you&amp;rsquo;d see on the prototype, including the engine, transmission, battery boxes and auxiliary gear.
Both vehicles are brought to life with an exquisite livery application, using accurate colours, fonts and logos, and the detail and decoration extends to the interior too, where seating is fitted and painted accordingly, and the cab provides crew seats along with a representation of the control desk.
The bogies are moulded with a high level of relief detail and separate footsteps are added where appropriate, meanwhile metal wheelsets are employed and electrical pickups from every wheel provide power for the directional lights at each cab end. The motorised vehicle is fitted with a powerful three pole motor with flywheel and both cars have a 6 pin DCC decoder socket; in the trailer a function decoder can be used to work the directional lights whereas the powered vehicle has a pre-fitted speaker so a sound decoder could be fitted to add sound to the model

A total of 271 of Ruston &amp;amp; Hornsby&amp;rsquo;s &amp;lsquo;88DS&amp;rsquo; four-wheel diesels were supplied mainly to industrial sites in the UK and overseas, and were rated at 80/88hp. Built in Lincoln between 1938 and 1967, seven of these were also used by BR&amp;rsquo;s North Eastern Region on departmental duties.&amp;nbsp;
This model is finished in the distinctive &amp;lsquo;Loadhaul&amp;rsquo; livery of black and orange. Formed in 1994 as part of the privatisation of BR, Loadhaul Ltd became part of EWS and subsequently DB Cargo. This OO design also features NEM tension lock couplings.

<p>SECR H Class 161 SECR Green
This OO gauge SECR H Class locomotive model is a faithful representation of Harry Wainwright&#039;s H Class. With sprung metal buffers and NEM tension lock couplings, this model is DCC ready with an 8-pin socket ready for upgrading to digital control.&amp;nbsp;
Designed by Harry Wainwright, 66 of these locomotives were built for the South Eastern &amp;amp; Chatham Railway at its Ashford Works between 1904 and 1915 for London suburban and semi-fast trains. Completed in June 1909, 161 engines carried the elaborate SECR livery, like the locomotive depicted by the model, until receiving a lined olive green livery when taken into SR stock and renumbered 1161 at the Grouping in 1923.&amp;nbsp;
It later became BR 31161 and was withdrawn at Tunbridge Wells West in November 1961 after a creditable 51 years and 5 months&amp;rsquo; service

<p>Class 150/2 150232 GWR Green (FirstGroup)
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 GWR FirstGroup. The striking green livery of GWR adorns the Graham Farish Class 150 DMU for the first time and we&amp;rsquo;ve selected 150/2 No. 150232 as the subject for this sublime N Scale model. The 150/2 sub-class is characterised by the gangway doors fitted to the cab ends, allowing two or more units to work in multiple whilst allowing access from one unit to another.
Constructed from a highly detailed bodyshell which is adorned with separate components like the cab front handrails, gangway connectors and exhaust, the Graham Farish model replicates the Class 150/2 faithfully. The chassis 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 N scale collection.

<p>Class 150/2 150213 Transport for Wales
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 Transport for Wales (TfW). The striking white, red and grey livery of TfW adorns the Graham Farish Class 150 DMU for the first time and we&amp;rsquo;ve selected 150/2 No. 150213 as the subject for this sublime N Scale model. The 150/2 sub-class is characterised by the gangway doors fitted to the cab ends, allowing two or more units to work in multiple whilst allowing access from one unit to another.
Constructed from a highly detailed bodyshell which is adorned with separate components like the cab front handrails, gangway connectors and exhaust, the Graham Farish model replicates the Class 150/2 faithfully. The chassis 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 N scale collection.

<p>Birth of the Railways Train Pack (Railway 200)
Representing the formative years of steam-powered railways, these three locomotives were built between 1825 and 1838. The first is &amp;lsquo;Locomotion No. 1&amp;rsquo;, designed by George and Robert Stephenson. It was built at their factory in Newcastle for the opening of the Stockton &amp;amp; Darlington Railway, where it became the first steam locomotive to pull a passenger train on a public railway. In doing so, it became the first steam locomotive to both operate and haul a passenger-carrying train on a public railway in September 1825. 2025 marks the 200th anniversary.
With the experience they gained, Robert Stephenson &amp;amp; Co. entered a design for the 1829 Rainhill Trials, held to find suitable motive power for the Liverpool &amp;amp; Manchester Railway. Their entry, &amp;lsquo;Rocket&amp;rsquo;, was the clear winner and formed the basis for future steam locomotive design on the L&amp;amp;MR, which opened the following year.
By 1838, locomotive design had already moved on, and 0-4-2 No. 57 &amp;lsquo;Lion&amp;rsquo;, was one of a pair of &amp;lsquo;luggage&amp;rsquo; locomotives built to a Stephenson patent by Todd, Kitson &amp;amp; Laird of Leeds, also for the L&amp;amp;MR.
Please note:
Locomotion No.1 comes fitted with a Next 18-pin socket, but due to the locomotive&#039;s size limitations, sadly it cannot take an HM7000 Next 18-pin decoder.
The &#039;Rocket&#039; locomotive comes fitted with a 6-pin socket.
The &#039;Lion&#039; locomotive comes fitted with a Next 18 socket (NEM 662).

Locomotive information and history:
Ruston 432478 was built new for British Railways, being delivered in January 1959 to the North Eastern Region Civil Engineers Department at the Leeman Road Permanent Way Stockyard in York, one of six Ruston &amp;amp; Hornsby 88DS locomotives built for British Railways which were distributed between York, Dinsdale Depot, Etherley Tip, Crofton, Hartlepool and Darlington. As well as working shunting duties at Leeman Road, 432478 also worked at the York Central Concrete Depot, which is now the site of the Railway Museum&#039;s main visitor car park.
Ruston &amp;amp; Hornsby Ltd, of Lincoln, was formed as the result of the merger between Ruston, Proctor &amp;amp; Co. Ltd and Richard Hornsby &amp;amp; Sons Ltd on September 11, 1918 and their first narrow gauge diesel locomotive left the works on September 1, 1931. In the summer of 1932, production was moved to the larger Boultham Works, where the firm were eventually to become Britain&#039;s largest builder of diesel locomotives, with over 6,500 being built by the time production ceased in 1969. Almost as soon as the firm&#039;s 44/48HP 0-4-0 locomotives were making an appearance, an upgraded, more powerful 0-4-0 was on the drawing board.
Although many of the features of the 44/48HP were retained for the new 80/88HP, such as the chain drive and running gear, a new type of transmission was fitted, along with Westinghouse airbrakes. The new power unit, Ruston&#039;s own 4VPB, delivered 80BHP at 1000rpm and was later supplanted by Ruston&#039;s improved 4VPH that delivered 88BHP, but it required compressed air to be injected into the cylinders to be able to start. While running, an air reservoir was kept charged via the braking system, but after standing idle for a period the reservoir depleted and a secondary source was required to recharge the reservoir. This was achieved by fitting a small, secondary 1½HP &#039;donkey&#039; engine, giving rise to a distinctive raised cover on the right hand side of the engine compartment that differed in size and placement depending on the make of engine used. Two basic weight options were offered for the 80/88HP, of 17 tons and 20 tons, the difference being achieved by attaching weights to the outside frames, as well as to the front and rear buffer beams.
In 1941, Ruston&#039;s locomotive classifications were changed, with the 80/88HP becoming 88DS (with the narrow gauge versions being assigned the DSM and DSN suffix, and the broader gauges assigned DSW). Outward appearance changes to the &#039;standard&#039; locomotives were mainly confined to the cab area, with examples from mid-1947 replacing the open cab with a fully enclosed cab that featured several ad-hoc styles of front window. The final 88DS, 518494, left Boultham Works on 29 November 1967, bringing to an end a production run of 271 locomotives.
