R30458Hornby Dublo: LNER - Class A4 - 2511 'Silver King' (Silver Jubilee Collection)
A striking member of Sir Nigel Gresley’s legendary A4 Pacific fleet, the Hornby Dublo LNER ‘A4’ Class 2511 ‘Silver King’ brings streamlined power and timeless elegance to the 90th Anniversary Collection.
Expertly crafted, this model has a flickering firebox and is DCC Ready with a 21-pin socket, allowing for easy digital conversion. The body and chassis is manufactured from die-cast metal for maximum traction and has a 5 pole motor to power this impressive express locomotive. This enables it to haul any rake of coaches at impressive speeds.
With its distinctive silver livery and powerful presence, ‘Silver King’ is a fitting tribute to one of the most celebrated locomotives of the LNER’s streamlined fleet.
History
Starting life in November 1935, ‘Silver King’ was immediately employed on ‘Silver Jubilee’ trains in its striking silver/grey livery, based at London’s King’s Cross shed, known to railwaymen as ‘Top Shed’.
It received Garter Blue in April 1938, and was then painted plain black with ‘NE’ on the tender in April 1943, at which point the side skirting was removed. After various allocation changes, it received its final LNER number 16 while based at Gateshead.
It finished its career as BR 60016 based at Aberdeen Ferryhill and was used on the three-hour expresses between Aberdeen and Glasgow. It was retired in March 1965.
R30396BR (Early) - Class 9F - 92018 Steam Era 4 - Early BR (1948 - 1956)
A total of 251 of these heavy-duty freight locomotives were built by BR between January 1954 and March 1960, with construction shared between its Works at Crewe and Swindon who built 198 and 53 of them respectively. No. 92018 went new from Crewe to Wellingborough in October 1954 and was withdrawn from Carlisle Kingmoor in April 1967, after a wastefully short career of just 12 years and five months in service.

R30459Hornby Dublo: LNER - Class A4 - 2512 'Silver Fox' (Silver Jubilee Collection)
‘Silver Fox’ followed a similar pattern to its fellow ‘Silver Jubilee A4s’ with its silver/grey livery giving way to Garter Blue in 1937 and then plain black during the war years.
Its number changed to 17 under the LNER’s 1946 renumbering system, which was prefixed by BR with ‘600’ following nationalisation in 1948, though the number 60017 wasn’t applied until April 1949. It was painted BR blue the following year, and then BR lined green in December 1952.
A Kylchap double-chimney was fitted in May 1957, the condition in which the ‘Pacific’ was withdrawn from New England (Peterborough) shed in October 1963.
R30454LNER - Class A3 - 4472 'Flying Scotsman' (VE Day 80th Anniversary)
Completed in February 1923, ‘Flying Scotsman’ entered traffic in LNER apple green with the GNR number 1472, the first of six numbers it would carry during its lifetime. It soon received the number it is best known for, 4472, and was painted plain black in April 1943.
Renumbered 502 in January 1946, just four months later this was changed to 103, before emerging from its rebuild as an ‘A3’ in apple green livery in January 1947. It then became E103 under BR in March 1948, before receiving its final number, 60103, in December 1948. A year later it was painted BR blue, and then into its final colour scheme of BR lined green in March 1952.
R30409Manchester Ship Canal - Peckett W4 'Jaffa'
The Manchester Ship Canal - Peckett W4 'Jaffa' is a must-have model for Peckett fans. In an irresistible shade of green, this locomotive has NEM couplings and is DCC-ready with a four-pin socket. The perfect piece for shunting model coal wagons around your layout.
History
Built in 1897 as Peckett Works No. 655, Jaffa was delivered new to the Manchester Ship Canal Company. This sturdy W4 0-4-0 saddle tank was employed on heavy shunting duties along the docks, later being renumbered as No. 12 around the outbreak of the First World War. After three decades of service, Jaffa was finally sold in 1927, leaving behind a legacy typical of Peckett’s hard-working industrial locomotives.
R7321HM7000-6: Bluetooth® & DCC Decoder (6-pin)
Part of the innovative new HM7000 range, this 6-pin Bluetooth® and DCC decoder is perfect for getting smaller locomotives working on the HM7000 system.
The decoder is designed to supply 1000mA continuous load to the main motor and a peak demand of 1500mA, making it highly suitable for most N scale locos and small TT, HO and OO locomotives.
**
An R7377 Power Bank can be purchased separately and added to this decoder. We recommend for ease you do this during the first install. The Power Bank will keep the loco operating during short power outages when running over dirty track or complex points.

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.
