E87108Plasser 12T YOB Diesel-Hydraulic Crane DRP81515 BR Departmental Yellow
The Plasser 12 Ton General Purpose Diesel-Hydraulic Crane returns to the EFE Rail range. These self-propelled cranes were given the TOPS code ‘YOB’ following their introduction in the mid-1970s. Used countrywide primarily at track relaying work sites, the cranes would be transported to site within engineering trains, but being self-propelled they were able to move around site and even perform light shunting during engineering possessions. Their compact nature allowed the YOBs to be used whilst an adjacent line remained open to traffic, thanks to them having no tail swing when the crane was in operation.
GM4210202GBRFClass 59 003 'Yeoman Highlander' GBRf (DCC-Sound/Smoke)
The Class 59 is a Co-Co formation diesel locomotive and the first US produced, privately-owned locomotive to operate regularly in the UK. The ordering of the first Class 59 was a result of quarry company Foster Yeomans dissatisfaction with the performance of the BR Class 56. The first 4 locomotives built by General Motors Electromotive Division were delivered to Foster Yeoman during 1986 and 59005 in 1989.
Proving very successful; one locomotive set a new UK haulage record for a single locomotive of 4639 tonnes. Foster Yeomans rivals ARC, Amey Roadstone Corporation, also ordered four modified Class 59s, the 59/1, as did National Power, who ordered six 59/2’s. GM invested in this initial UK success by extensively modifying the Class 59 internally to produce the Class 66, also hugely successful, within both the UK and continental Europe. Other than 59003, which after return from loan to HHPI in Germany is operated by GBRf, the Class 59 fleet is operated today by DB Schenker and Mendip Rail.

37-807ALMS 12T Planked Ventilated Van 'Express Dairy Company' Blue
372-031AGWR 4073 'Castle' 5015 'Kingswear Castle' BR Lined Green Early Emblem
he first of the GWR 4073 ‘Castle’ Class locomotives was built in 1923 to the design of then- Chief Mechanical Engineer Charles Collett. The type was intended for express passenger trains and used the 4-6-0 wheel arrangement so favoured by the GWR and built on the success of the earlier Star Class which first entered traffic in 1907 albeit with a new, larger boiler making it more powerful and capable of handling the longest expresses.
Over a period of 27 years a total of 155 Castles were built by the GWR’s Swindon Works, joined between 1925 and 1940 by 16 more that were converted from older locomotives, mostly Stars. All 171 locomotives were named, usually after Castles in the west, but those rebuilt from Stars generally retained their original names although during their careers some Castles carried other names, including those of noble Earls and some named after RAF aircraft used during World War Two.
