31-319AGCR 9J (J11) 64305 BR Black (Early Emblem)
The Great Central Railway (GCR) Class 9J was the first goods locomotive to be designed by John. G. Robinson, the railway’s Chief Mechanical Engineer from 1900-1922. Between 1901 and 1910 a total of 174 locomotives were built and during the First World War, 18 were loaned to the Railway Operating Division and were shipped to France before returning home in 1919. The class quickly acquired the nickname ‘Pom-Poms’ as their exhaust noise sounded very similar to the ‘Pom-Pom’ quick-firing guns which were first used in the South African War.
In 1923 the GCR became part of the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER), and the 9Js were re-classified as J11. The LNER quickly began modifying J11s to meet the then-new composite rolling stock gauge, this included using several different boiler and dome modifications to reduce the overall height of the locomotive.
Whilst primarily a goods engine, the J11s were used on some passenger services and over time these duties increased. During LNER ownership the distribution of the fleet gradually broadened, with examples allocated to sheds like Retford and Barnsley, and some were even sent to the Midland & Great Northern Joint Railway.
The class survived to Nationalisation in 1948 when British Railways inherited the entire fleet, and it was not until 1954 that the first example was withdrawn. All had gone by 1962 however, and sadly none were saved for preservation.

35-411AClass 47/0 47226 BR Blue
Towards the end of the 1950s, British Railways began planning a new fleet of diesel locomotives and after investigating several prototypes, BR decided to place an order with Brush Engineering for 20 locomotives during February 1961. The resulting design became the iconic Brush Type 4 Diesel locomotive, a practical, versatile design with a very distinctive cab. Powered with a Sulzer engine and initially rated at 2,750hp, the locomotive could achieve a top speed of 75mph with a tractive effort of 55,000lb. Building commenced in January 1962 and the first locomotive No. D1500 appeared in late September of the same year with test runs on the London Midland Region and Western Region. The design was a success and BR went on to order a total of 512 with continuous production through to early 1967, forming the largest single class of main-line diesel locomotives in the UK.

R30367 BR Early - Class J52 - 68873
No. 68873 was built in 1905 at Doncaster Works and entered service with the Great Northern Railway as No. 1274, initially allocated locally at Doncaster goods yard.
After becoming LNER No. 4274 in 1924, it was later renumbered as 8873 and made it into BR service in 1948 as No. 68873. Its allocations also included King’s Cross, Hornsey and Colwick, before being condemned in September 1955.
The model is finished in plain black with BR early ‘cycling lion’ crest as applied in the 1950s, with the five-digit number on the increased-capacity bunker sides. The locomotive also has the later-type safety valves and steam injectors.

The NER E Class 0-6-0 Tank Locomotive, later classified as J71 by the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER), was designed by Thomas W. Worsdell for the North Eastern Railway and was intended to become the company’s standard design for shunting engines. T. W. Worsdell became the NER’s Locomotive Superintendent in 1885 and a year later, the first E Class tank entered traffic. Eventually totalling 120 locomotives, 60 were built under T. W. Worsdell’s tenure, followed by 60 more when his brother Wilson Worsdell took over as Locomotive Superintendent following Thomas’s retirement in 1890. Construction ceased in 1895 and three years later, Wilson introduced his own take on the design, the E1 Class, the first of which entered traffic in 1898.

31-884AMR 3835 (4F) with Fowler Tender 43982 BR Black (Late Crest)
Designed by Henry Fowler for the Midland Railway (MR), the 3835 Class was first introduced in 1911. Construction of these 0-6-0 freight locomotives was shared between the Midland Railway’s Derby Works and outside contractor Armstrong Whitworth, with 197 examples built by 1922; 192 for the Midland Railway and five for the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway (S&DJR).
After the Grouping in 1923, the London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) inherited all 192 locomotives from the MR (and later the five S&DJR examples when it absorbed that company in 1930) and gave the locos the designation Class 4F. The LMS commenced construction of further 4Fs, much to the same design as the 3835 Class, although the LMS-built locos were left hand drive whereas the original Midland machines were right hand drive.

E85019LSWR Adams T3 561 LSWR Adams Green
Part of a family of four 4-4-0 locomotives, the first T3 was built by the LSWR in 1892 and by the end of 1893, the twenty-strong fleet had been completed. The elegant appearance of the T3 carried many hallmarks of a locomotive designed by William Adams, with long frames extending beyond the smokebox and stovepipe chimneys. Intended for use on the undulating lines west of Salisbury, they worked from depots on the Bournemouth line as well as the West of England line. Whilst in service several changes and modifications were made to the locomotives including the replacement of the original equalising beam suspension with traditional springing. In addition, once Dugald Drummond took post as the LSWR’s Chief Mechanical Engineer he began to change the stovepipe chimney to one of his own design whilst some examples also received Drummond boilers.

R30420Hornby Dublo - BR - English Electric DP1 - 'Deltic' NRM Preserved
The prototype English Electric 3,000hp diesel electric, ‘Deltic’ emerged from Dick, Kerr & Co. Works in Preston in 1955, as a demonstrator. Fitted with two Napier Deltic engines, it appeared in a head-turning powder blue livery with cream nose whiskers below an American-style headlight cowling. Such was the locomotive’s success, British Railways ordered 22 production models for use on its East Coast Main Line express services.
R30510Stephenson’s Rocket
For the first time, Stephenson's Rocket is presented as a solo locomotive, with a sleek yellow livery. This highly detailed, diminutive locomotive model is a must-have model for steam collectors, due to its historical importance and incredible model engineering.
This historically important locomotive was built in 1829 to participate in the Rainhill Trials, a competition set-up by the promoters of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway to find suitable motive power for its opening the following year.
Built to the order of his father George (who was the L&MR’s principal engineer at the time), ‘Rocket’ was designed by Robert Stephenson and built at his Forth Street Works in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
The design was the most advanced in its day and ‘Rocket’ won the Trials. The locomotive then became one of four that took part in the L&MR’s opening parade in September 1830.

E85030LSWR Adams T3 563 LSWR Drummond Green
The first LSWR T3 Class locomotive was built in 1892 and 125 years later, the T3 was thrown into the spotlight when the National Railway Museum donated the sole preserved example, No. 563, to the Swanage Railway Trust. Ever since this controversial move there has been a desire to see a OO scale model of this Victorian masterpiece, and now, we are delighted to fulfil those wishes with this brand-new model developed for Bachmann’s EFE Rail range.
The elegant lines of William Adams’s original design have been captured faithfully in the new EFE Rail model, for which a comprehensive tooling suite has been developed allowing accurate models of the twenty-strong fleet to be produced across their working lives and, for No. 563 at least, during its time in preservation.
