374-820BR Mk1 FO First Open BR InterCity Charter (Executive)
'N' Gauge
Released: 29/02/24
Era 8The 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 it.
Vehicles providing standard accommodation, with first- or second-class seating, or a composite mix of the two, were built in their thousands, along with many specialist types each with their own dedicated purpose. Numerous different catering vehicles were built, offering as little as a counter service right through to a full restaurant dining experience, whilst vehicles which incorporated an area for the Guard were combined with passenger accommodation and varying spaces for the conveyance of luggage, newspapers and parcels. Sleeping cars were also included, along with various general merchandise and specialised Post Office vans – some of which were equipped with apparatus to allow mail to be collected and set down on the move. Such was their success that following withdrawal from BR service, Mk1 coaches have become the mainstay of preservation operations and hundreds of vehicles remain in service today with heritage railways, whilst several still run on the main line in charter formations.

DCC Ready (Next18)Era 3The LMS ‘Twins’ – Nos. 10000 and 10001 – were the very first mainline diesel locomotives built in the UK and now, this pioneering pair is available in N scale for the first time thanks to Graham Farish.
This model of No. 10000 depicts the first of the ‘Twins’ which entered service with the LMS just days before Nationalisation in December 1947, and so carries ‘LMS’ in large chrome letters on the bodyside – the locomotive would carry these during its early years of BR-ownership and was so adorned until 1951. In this original condition, No. 10000 operated on the Midland Region hauling trains both alone and as a pair with its twin, providing additional haulage power and rang
