ACC2788Class 55 'Deltic' - BR Green - D9018 - Ballymoss
Representing the classic mid 1960s era of English Electric’s finest is D9018 in two-tone green with small yellow panel. The Finsbury Park thoroughbred is still in mostly original condition, albeit with some exhaust and radiator grille modifications and the addition of top lamp irons on the nose ends.
ACC2789Class 55 'Deltic' - BR Blue - 55020 - Nimbus
One of just three Deltics to never receive plated headcode boxes, 55020 is also notable for retaining the mountings for the cab roof horns worn during the early 1960s. Our model is based on its 1976 condition with standard-sized domino headcodes, although alternative smaller dots will be provided.
ACC2785Class 55 'Deltic' - BR Blue - 55004 - Queen's Own Highlander
Much requested is our first Haymarket-allocated TOPS blue Deltic, represented here by 55004 in 1977 condition, just after having its headcode box plated over. Notably this was one of just four members of the fleet to feature unpainted front windscreen frames during the mid to late 1970s.
R3869Dowlais Ironworks, Peckett W4 Class, 0-4-0ST, 33 'Lady Cornelia'
Peckett Works No. 834/1900 was built new for the Dowlais Ironworks, which had been sold to Arthur Keen the previous year.
With the Dowlais running number of 33 and bearing the name Lady Cornelia, the locomotive operated over the extensive railway system associated with the works which, unlike Cyfartha, had made an early conversion to steel production, enabling its survival into the late 1930s.
R30141GB Railfreight, Class 08, 0-6-0, 08818 'Molly'
The Class 08 will go down in history as one of the most dependable shunters ever built. While all Class 08 shunters were built by British Railways they are actually based on an earlier LMS design. With 996 of these shunters built between 1953 and 1962, they are still a common sight at mainline yards and sidings, and a common sight on heritage railways, with the number preserved almost outnumbering those currently in service.
With no thought given to aesthetics, the Class 08 was a utilitarian workhorse of the railways, with its longevity speaking volumes to its performance. The locomotive would have a cab at the number one end and equipment housed in the long nose extending towards the number two end.
While not intended for mainline duties, some of the class in the south could be seen trundling up the mainline if there was a short distance between yards that stock needed to be moved between, assuming no express services needed to occupy the track at the time.
While perhaps recognised as GBRf No.4, this example of the Class 08 shunter was officially known by the BR TOPS number 08818, a number that it was given in February 1974. Initially wearing the number D3986, the Derby built locomotive would serve with BR before being transferred to EWS at the onset of privatisation.
Purchased by Harry Needle Railroad Company in 2000, the locomotive was named ‘Molly’. As of 2024, HNRC lease the locomotive to GBRf, where the locomotive is still in servic
R30368BR, Class 08, 0-6-0, 08570
No. 08570’s main duty in service was shunting motorail vans and sleeper portions at Edinburgh Waverly. It was painted in an Intercity Swallow livery. 08570 was withdrawn from service on 18th January 1992 and then stored at Motherwell. On 7th and 8th September 1993, the shunter was cut up by M.C. Metal Processing staff on-site at Motherwell.
Class 08 shunters are common, but our model of No. 08570 is a one-of-a-kind model. Liveried in a BR Intercity Swallow with intricate detail, this model is DCC-ready and compatible with our HM7000 8-Pin decoder.
R30369BR, Class 09, 0-6-0, D4100 'Dick Hardy'
No. D4100 was constructed at Horwich Works and entered BR service in September 1961 at Ashford. After moving to various locations, it was fitted with air brakes in 1968 before moving to Selhurst in July 1970. It became No. 09012 under the TOPS numbering scheme in January 1974. The locomotive was named 'Dick Hardy' in honour of Richard 'Dick' Hardy who was a Divisional Manager with BR and oversaw various railway changes.
After retiring in 1982, Richard became an author and wrote about railway heritage. The locomotive was withdrawn from service on 31st July 2010 and saved for preservation. In 2013, the locomotive arrived at the SVR under No. 09012 in a Departmental Grey livery. The Class 09 locomotive was overhauled and had its 'Dick Hardy' nameplates refitted in 2014. A BR Green livery was applied to the locomotive in 2015. D4100 is normally based at Kidderminster and operates as a shunter.
Our model replicates the preserved vivid BR green livery on the prototypical Class 09. Waist-level brake hoses are incorporated on the cab front with ‘Dick Hardy’ nameplates applied on the bodysides.
R30384 RailRoad Plus GWR, Bo-Bo, No. 34 Parcels Car
Hardy Railmotors Limited were a subsidiary of the Associated Equipment Co. Ltd and offered petrol and diesel engine shunting locomotives. C.F. Cleaver, an engineer employed by Hardy Railmotors, realised that the successful 130 bhp 6-cylinder AEC diesel engine used in London buses would be suitable for powering a lightweight railcar. The first railcar was a prototype, No. 1, and the body was based on the popular DB diesel unit called ‘Flying Hamburger’. After wind tunnel tests, the body was streamlined, which earned them the nickname ‘flying bananas’.
The railcar was bought by GWR and soon, No. 1 was displayed at the International Commercial Motor Transport Exhibition at Olympia in November 1933, to much fanfare and great publicity. GWR ordered more railcars and a total of 38 diesel railcars were constructed between 1933-1942. In service for various purposes, ranging from branch-line working to twin-set rail cars working the Birmingham to Cardiff service, these railcars were unique to the main line. Eventually, the railcars were withdrawn from service between 1955 and 1962. Three railcars are preserved: No. 4 at the National Railway Museum, No. 20 at the Kent & East Sussex Railway and No. 22 at the Didcot Railway Centre.
No. 34 was an express parcels railcar and entered service in 1941. The railcar had a capacity of a 10-ton load for each journey. Double-hinged doors were a feature on the railcar. No. 34 operated from Southall until it was withdrawn in 1960. It was considered an efficient railcar due to the car’s trailer-hauling capacity.
The GWR No. 34 Express Parcels Car model is finished in a GWR cream and brown livery.
R30363GWR, 6000 King Class, 4-6-0, 6029 'King Stephen'
Twenty-nine steam locomotives of the GWR Class 6000, also known as the King Class, were constructed between 1927 and 1930. These engines were named after notable English kings, and this honour was reflected in their sleek angular lines and rivets that shimmered in the light. The regal class boasted taper boilers, copper-capped chimneys and brass bonnet safety valve covers. Many of the locomotives were in service on the West of England main line between Paddington and Wolverhampton.
No. 6029 ‘King Stephen’ was constructed in August 1930 and, in May 1936, it was renamed ‘King Edward VIII’. A double chimney was fitted in December 1957. The locomotive was withdrawn in July 1962 and scrapped at Cashmore’s, Newport, in November 1962.
R30364BR, 6000 King Class, 4-6-0, 6009 'King Charles II'
Between 1927 and 1930, 29 steam locomotives of the GWR Class 6000, also known as the King Class, were constructed. These engines were named after notable English kings, and this regality was reflected in their sleek angular lines and rivets that shimmered in the light. The regal class boasted taper boilers, copper-capped chimneys, and brass bonnet safety valve covers. Much of the class was in service on the West of England main line between Paddington and Wolverhampton.
No. 6009 ‘King Charles II’ was constructed in March 1928. After nationalisation in 1948, it was painted in a BR Black livery. ‘Alfloc’ water treatment was fitted in 1954 and a double chimney in May 1956. Withdrawn in September 1962, 6009 was scrapped at Cashmore’s.
R30372GBRf, Class 67, Bo-Bo, 67027
The Class 67s were constructed by Alstom Meinfesa in Valencia between 1999 and 2000 for EWS. No. 67027 ‘Charlotte’ was named ‘Rising Star’ in 2003. Various changes took place over the years. In 2007, the ownership of the locomotive was transferred to DB Cargo UK. In 2014, the locomotive adopted the DB Cargo UK red livery, changing from the previous EWS red & yellow livery.
Ownership was again transferred to Colas Rail in 2017. To reflect this, the livery was amended to Colas Rail yellow, orange and black at the Toton TMD. The locomotive name changed to ‘Charlotte’ in the same year. In 2022, ownership was transferred to GB Railfreight and repainted in a blue and yellow livery.
R3977BR, Thompson Class A2/2, 4-6-2, 60502 'Earl Marischal'
Upon becoming Chief Mechanical Engineer of the LNER, Thompson sought to create an unstreamlined, mixed traffic version of Gresley's A4 Pacific locomotives. Being unable to secure permission to construct new locomotives, Thompson decided to rebuild the 2-8-2 P2 Class locomotives as the new A2/2 Class.
Thompson advocated divided drive, a system in which the middle cylinder drove the forward two of the six driving wheels whilst the outside cylinders drove the middle two. Due to his quest for standardisation, this arrangement necessitated the middle cylinder to be placed further forward than normal and the outside cylinders further back, behind the leading bogie, so that standard connecting rods could be used for all cylinders. Although the new designs retained much of the P2's power despite their lighter weight, wheel slip issues made them unsuitable for the routes the P2's had been designed for.
P2 No. 2002 'Earl Marischal' was rebuilt to become a A2/2 in June 1944, before being renumbered 502 in 1946 and 60502 upon the nationalisation of the railways. After becoming a A2/2, 'Earl Marischal' returned to Scotland before being moved south of the border to the York Shed at the end of 1949. The locomotive was withdrawn for service in 1961.
R3974LNER, Thompson Class A2/3, 4-6-2, 511 'Airborne'
The A2/3 Class were designed by Edward Thompson as standard express passenger locomotives. After Sir Nigel Gresley's unexpected death in April 1941, Edward Thompson desired to standardise the locomotives of the LNER. This process involved rebuilding locomotives using standard components such as wheel sizes and boiler designs.
The A2/3 Class were new built to a similar specification to the A2/2 rebuilds, differing in cylinder sizes and boiler pressure. Thompson advocated divided drive, a system in which the middle cylinder drove the forward two of the six driving wheels whilst the outside cylinders drove the middle two. Due to his quest for standardisation, this arrangement necessitated the middle cylinder to be placed further forward than normal and the outside cylinders further back, behind the leading bogie, so that standard connecting rods could be used for all cylinders.
LNER No. 511 'Airbourne' was built at Doncaster Works and entered service in July 1946. After nationalisation, it was renumbered 60511 and assigned to the Heaton engine shed. It was withdrawn in November 1962.
