39-682ABR Mk2F ex-TSO Staff Coach Network Rail Yellow
The Mk2Fs were the final evolution of the Mk2 family, British Rail’s second generation of standard coach design, and these coaches featured full air conditioning, interior panelling made of plastic, a new style of seating and tinted windows. Initially only three types were built, Tourist Second Opens, First Opens and Brake Second Opens, but some First Opens were later converted into Restaurant First Buffets, whilst several Brake Second Opens were fitted with a driving cab at one end, becoming Driving Brake Second Opens for push-pull use.
E86019NAA Propelling Control Vehicle 95301 EWS
Mail trains have long captured the imagination and interest of railway modellers, and the Propelling Control Vehicle (PCV) was once an essential element of the modern mail scene, but that all changed when EWS lost its contract with Royal Mail in 2003. The PCVs were mainly stored or scrapped, but some were given a second lease of life including No. 95301, which was painted into EWS livery and used on parcels traffic.

The Mk2Fs were the final evolution of the Mk2 family, British Rail’s second generation of standard coach design, and these coaches featured full air conditioning, interior panelling made of plastic, a new style of seating and tinted windows. Initially only three types were built, Tourist Second Opens, First Opens and Brake Second Opens, but some First Opens were later converted into Restaurant First Buffets, whilst several Brake Second Opens were fitted with a driving cab at one end, becoming Driving Brake Second Opens for push-pull use. The icing on the cake of this DCC On Board model is the full suite of lighting that is controlled by an integrated DCC Decoder. When used on DCC up to five lighting features can be enjoyed namely the passenger saloon lighting, guard’s compartment lights (where applicable), Door interlock lights (where applicable and each side of the coach is controlled separately) and the tail light which can be set to flash or be constantly on or off – both battery and oil lamps are provided along with a lamp bracket ‘blank’ allowing full customisation of the tail lamp feature to suit any scenario. When used on analogue control, interior lights and the tail lamps will work when power is applied – the latter being switchable between flashing, constant on or off using the switch mounted within the chassis of the model.

39-803BR Mk1 BSO Brake Second Open BR Blue & Grey
he British Railways Mk1 was the designation given to BR’s first standard design of main line coaching stock, and one of its most successful. Built from 1951 until the early 1960s to augment and replace the array of ‘Big Four’ and earlier ‘pre-grouping’ designs inherited from the LMS, LNER, GWR and SR, BR took the best features from several of these types to produce the new steel-bodied design. As a result, the Mk1 was stronger and safer than any of the inherited types that came before.

R30015W.M.J.E.A. - Ruston & Hornsby - 88DS 'No1'
Ruston & Hornsby Works No. 262997 was supplied new to the West Midlands Joint Electricity Authority in January 1949 for its Birchills Power Station in Walsall. From September the same year, it moved to the newly-opened Walsall ‘B’ Power Station and, even after nationalisation of the industry in 1948 as the CEGB, continued to carry its WMJEA identity.
R1290Tri-ang Railways Remembered: RS9 'Intercity Express' Train Set
Our ‘Tri-ang Hornby Remembered’ set recreates the nostalgia of the original, using the same artwork on the box lid, and includes the BR green-liveried locomotive with its small yellow warning panels, which were typical of the time, plus Pullman Cars ‘Jane’ and ‘Ruth’, and Pullman brake ‘No.7’.
Back in the 1960s, the track in Tri-ang Hornby train sets was the new Super 4 system introduced in 1962, but today’s recreation has current Hornby trackwork, comprising of a 1st radius starter oval of track, power clip and uncoupling ramp.
Historically Tri-ang train sets didn’t include a controller and therefore this collectable re-creation of the historic train set also doesn’t contain a controller.
R30406LNER - Streamlined B17 - 2870 'City of London'
Gresley developed a three-cylinder 4-6-0 to cope with increased loadings on the LNER’s East Anglian passenger services in the shape of the B17 Class, as he could not use his famous ‘Pacifics’ due to weight constraints.
Two of the class were given A4-style streamlining in September 1937 for publicity purposes, including No. 2870 Tottenham Hotspur, which was then renamed City of London. They were designated B17/5s, but the streamlining was removed in April 1951.
The locomotive, originally built by Robert Stephenson & Co in 1937, was withdrawn in April 1960.
