Eventually 996 locomotives were built, making the Class 08 the most numerous of all British locomotive classes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 08s proved to be strong and versatile machines, capable of most shunting tasks, but there were some unique scenarios where they were not quite up to the job. One such scenario was at Tinsley Marshalling Yard, to the northeast of Sheffield; an enormous freight marshalling yard which opened in 1965 and was essentially a distribution hub where goods trains would arrive, be broken down, and were then reformed for onwards travel to other destinations. To aid the forming of new trains the yard employed hump shunting which allowed wagons to roll into the siding where their train was being assembled, however, to move these trains and propel the wagons up the hump for gravity to take effect, a new locomotive was required.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe solution was the Class 13. Formed of two modified Class 08s, the 13s had a greater tractive effort than any standard locomotive in BR’s fleet at the time, and by using two locomotives coupled together rather than one long-framed bogie locomotive, the risk of grounding on the hump was avoided.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Class 13s were built at BR’s Darlington Works in 1965, using six standard Class 08s to create three new locomotives each comprising a Master Unit and a Slave Unit. The donor locomotives were fitted with heavy metal plates to their bufferbeams to improve adhesion, visually this resulted in the bufferbeams being both thicker and much deeper. Multi-working equipment was fitted to the two units as well, allowing both locos to be controlled from the master and enabling the cab of the slave unit to be removed. Special in-cab signalling and radio equipment was installed to allow communications with the control tower that presided over shunting operations at Tinsley.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three Class 13s were delivered in BR Green livery with wasp stripes at the outer ends and were initially formed cab-to-cab, but within a couple of years they had been reformed with the slave leading the master, both radiator first, to improve crew visibility. As a result, the master unit ended up with wasp stripes at each end, meanwhile the shortened former cab sheet of the slave remained plain at first, however wasp stripes were eventually added here too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven as Tinsley Yard was opened by Dr Richard Beeching in 1965, British Rail was already feeling a hit on its services from the increasing competition provided by road transport and this only worsened in the 1970s as the decline in wagon-load goods traffic continued. By the 1980s the writing was on the wall for large marshalling yards like Tinsley and in December 1984, the arrival sidings and hump were closed, making the Class 13s redundant and leading to their withdrawal at the start of 1985. By this time only Nos. 13001 and 13003 (originally Nos. D4501 and D4500) remained in traffic anyway, as No. 13002 (D4502) had been taken out of service in mid-1981. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst the Class 13s were destined for a life working at Tinsley Yard, each of the three locomotives was dispatched to Doncaster Works for a major works overhaul once during their careers, and on occasion in their twilight years, it was not impossible to find a Class 13 heading a railtour in the local area. Following withdrawal, Nos. 13001 and 13002 would make their way to Swindon for disposal, while No. 13003 went back to Doncaster to be scrapped, finally succumbing to the cutter’s torch in September 1986, more than 18 months after it last worked at Tinsley.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58047527190912,"sku":"BAC-35-945-D4500","price":329.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/IMG_1734_3ea34453-b293-49e5-8afc-f17e53c5a70d.jpg?v=1778152993"},{"product_id":"bachmann-35-945-13002-class-13-13002-br-green-wasp-stripes-diesel-locomotive-renumbered","title":"35-945-13002 Bespoke Class 13 13002 BR Green (Wasp Stripes) Diesel Locomotive - Renumbered","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePLEASE NOTE: This model has been renumbered\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Class 13 Diesel Shunter is one of the few classes of diesel locomotive never to have been modelled in OO scale, until now!

Eventually 996 locomotives were built, making the Class 08 the most numerous of all British locomotive classes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 08s proved to be strong and versatile machines, capable of most shunting tasks, but there were some unique scenarios where they were not quite up to the job. One such scenario was at Tinsley Marshalling Yard, to the northeast of Sheffield; an enormous freight marshalling yard which opened in 1965 and was essentially a distribution hub where goods trains would arrive, be broken down, and were then reformed for onwards travel to other destinations. To aid the forming of new trains the yard employed hump shunting which allowed wagons to roll into the siding where their train was being assembled, however, to move these trains and propel the wagons up the hump for gravity to take effect, a new locomotive was required.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe solution was the Class 13. Formed of two modified Class 08s, the 13s had a greater tractive effort than any standard locomotive in BR’s fleet at the time, and by using two locomotives coupled together rather than one long-framed bogie locomotive, the risk of grounding on the hump was avoided.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Class 13s were built at BR’s Darlington Works in 1965, using six standard Class 08s to create three new locomotives each comprising a Master Unit and a Slave Unit. The donor locomotives were fitted with heavy metal plates to their bufferbeams to improve adhesion, visually this resulted in the bufferbeams being both thicker and much deeper. Multi-working equipment was fitted to the two units as well, allowing both locos to be controlled from the master and enabling the cab of the slave unit to be removed. Special in-cab signalling and radio equipment was installed to allow communications with the control tower that presided over shunting operations at Tinsley.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three Class 13s were delivered in BR Green livery with wasp stripes at the outer ends and were initially formed cab-to-cab, but within a couple of years they had been reformed with the slave leading the master, both radiator first, to improve crew visibility. As a result, the master unit ended up with wasp stripes at each end, meanwhile the shortened former cab sheet of the slave remained plain at first, however wasp stripes were eventually added here too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven as Tinsley Yard was opened by Dr Richard Beeching in 1965, British Rail was already feeling a hit on its services from the increasing competition provided by road transport and this only worsened in the 1970s as the decline in wagon-load goods traffic continued. By the 1980s the writing was on the wall for large marshalling yards like Tinsley and in December 1984, the arrival sidings and hump were closed, making the Class 13s redundant and leading to their withdrawal at the start of 1985. By this time only Nos. 13001 and 13003 (originally Nos. D4501 and D4500) remained in traffic anyway, as No. 13002 (D4502) had been taken out of service in mid-1981. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst the Class 13s were destined for a life working at Tinsley Yard, each of the three locomotives was dispatched to Doncaster Works for a major works overhaul once during their careers, and on occasion in their twilight years, it was not impossible to find a Class 13 heading a railtour in the local area. Following withdrawal, Nos. 13001 and 13002 would make their way to Swindon for disposal, while No. 13003 went back to Doncaster to be scrapped, finally succumbing to the cutter’s torch in September 1986, more than 18 months after it last worked at Tinsley.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58047532892544,"sku":"BAC-35-945-13002","price":329.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/IMG_1745_0c83b92b-63b8-421d-a586-6868204cd225.jpg?v=1778153028"},{"product_id":"bachmann-35-946-13001-class-13-13001-br-blue-diesel-locomotive-renumbered","title":"35-946-13001 Bespoke Class 13 13001 BR Blue Diesel Locomotive - Renumbered","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePLEASE NOTE: This model has been renumbered\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Class 13 Diesel Shunter is one of the few classes of diesel locomotive never to have been modelled in OO scale, until now!

Eventually 996 locomotives were built, making the Class 08 the most numerous of all British locomotive classes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 08s proved to be strong and versatile machines, capable of most shunting tasks, but there were some unique scenarios where they were not quite up to the job. One such scenario was at Tinsley Marshalling Yard, to the northeast of Sheffield; an enormous freight marshalling yard which opened in 1965 and was essentially a distribution hub where goods trains would arrive, be broken down, and were then reformed for onwards travel to other destinations. To aid the forming of new trains the yard employed hump shunting which allowed wagons to roll into the siding where their train was being assembled, however, to move these trains and propel the wagons up the hump for gravity to take effect, a new locomotive was required.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe solution was the Class 13. Formed of two modified Class 08s, the 13s had a greater tractive effort than any standard locomotive in BR’s fleet at the time, and by using two locomotives coupled together rather than one long-framed bogie locomotive, the risk of grounding on the hump was avoided.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Class 13s were built at BR’s Darlington Works in 1965, using six standard Class 08s to create three new locomotives each comprising a Master Unit and a Slave Unit. The donor locomotives were fitted with heavy metal plates to their bufferbeams to improve adhesion, visually this resulted in the bufferbeams being both thicker and much deeper. Multi-working equipment was fitted to the two units as well, allowing both locos to be controlled from the master and enabling the cab of the slave unit to be removed. Special in-cab signalling and radio equipment was installed to allow communications with the control tower that presided over shunting operations at Tinsley.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three Class 13s were delivered in BR Green livery with wasp stripes at the outer ends and were initially formed cab-to-cab, but within a couple of years they had been reformed with the slave leading the master, both radiator first, to improve crew visibility. As a result, the master unit ended up with wasp stripes at each end, meanwhile the shortened former cab sheet of the slave remained plain at first, however wasp stripes were eventually added here too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven as Tinsley Yard was opened by Dr Richard Beeching in 1965, British Rail was already feeling a hit on its services from the increasing competition provided by road transport and this only worsened in the 1970s as the decline in wagon-load goods traffic continued. By the 1980s the writing was on the wall for large marshalling yards like Tinsley and in December 1984, the arrival sidings and hump were closed, making the Class 13s redundant and leading to their withdrawal at the start of 1985. By this time only Nos. 13001 and 13003 (originally Nos. D4501 and D4500) remained in traffic anyway, as No. 13002 (D4502) had been taken out of service in mid-1981. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst the Class 13s were destined for a life working at Tinsley Yard, each of the three locomotives was dispatched to Doncaster Works for a major works overhaul once during their careers, and on occasion in their twilight years, it was not impossible to find a Class 13 heading a railtour in the local area. Following withdrawal, Nos. 13001 and 13002 would make their way to Swindon for disposal, while No. 13003 went back to Doncaster to be scrapped, finally succumbing to the cutter’s torch in September 1986, more than 18 months after it last worked at Tinsley.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58047545606528,"sku":"BAC-35-946-13001","price":329.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/IMG_1754_f2d50f61-2aa2-413d-8fb9-23024fc7d110.jpg?v=1778153066"},{"product_id":"bachmann-35-946-13002-class-13-13002-br-blue-diesel-locomotive-renumbered","title":"35-946-13002 Bespoke Class 13 13002 BR Blue Diesel Locomotive - Renumbered","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePLEASE NOTE: This model has been renumbered\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Class 13 Diesel Shunter is one of the few classes of diesel locomotive never to have been modelled in OO scale, until now!

Eventually 996 locomotives were built, making the Class 08 the most numerous of all British locomotive classes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 08s proved to be strong and versatile machines, capable of most shunting tasks, but there were some unique scenarios where they were not quite up to the job. One such scenario was at Tinsley Marshalling Yard, to the northeast of Sheffield; an enormous freight marshalling yard which opened in 1965 and was essentially a distribution hub where goods trains would arrive, be broken down, and were then reformed for onwards travel to other destinations. To aid the forming of new trains the yard employed hump shunting which allowed wagons to roll into the siding where their train was being assembled, however, to move these trains and propel the wagons up the hump for gravity to take effect, a new locomotive was required.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe solution was the Class 13. Formed of two modified Class 08s, the 13s had a greater tractive effort than any standard locomotive in BR’s fleet at the time, and by using two locomotives coupled together rather than one long-framed bogie locomotive, the risk of grounding on the hump was avoided.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Class 13s were built at BR’s Darlington Works in 1965, using six standard Class 08s to create three new locomotives each comprising a Master Unit and a Slave Unit. The donor locomotives were fitted with heavy metal plates to their bufferbeams to improve adhesion, visually this resulted in the bufferbeams being both thicker and much deeper. Multi-working equipment was fitted to the two units as well, allowing both locos to be controlled from the master and enabling the cab of the slave unit to be removed. Special in-cab signalling and radio equipment was installed to allow communications with the control tower that presided over shunting operations at Tinsley.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three Class 13s were delivered in BR Green livery with wasp stripes at the outer ends and were initially formed cab-to-cab, but within a couple of years they had been reformed with the slave leading the master, both radiator first, to improve crew visibility. As a result, the master unit ended up with wasp stripes at each end, meanwhile the shortened former cab sheet of the slave remained plain at first, however wasp stripes were eventually added here too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven as Tinsley Yard was opened by Dr Richard Beeching in 1965, British Rail was already feeling a hit on its services from the increasing competition provided by road transport and this only worsened in the 1970s as the decline in wagon-load goods traffic continued. By the 1980s the writing was on the wall for large marshalling yards like Tinsley and in December 1984, the arrival sidings and hump were closed, making the Class 13s redundant and leading to their withdrawal at the start of 1985. By this time only Nos. 13001 and 13003 (originally Nos. D4501 and D4500) remained in traffic anyway, as No. 13002 (D4502) had been taken out of service in mid-1981. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst the Class 13s were destined for a life working at Tinsley Yard, each of the three locomotives was dispatched to Doncaster Works for a major works overhaul once during their careers, and on occasion in their twilight years, it was not impossible to find a Class 13 heading a railtour in the local area. Following withdrawal, Nos. 13001 and 13002 would make their way to Swindon for disposal, while No. 13003 went back to Doncaster to be scrapped, finally succumbing to the cutter’s torch in September 1986, more than 18 months after it last worked at Tinsley.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58047574376832,"sku":"BAC-35-946-13002","price":329.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/IMG_1714_d418bea1-21c3-4c0d-b11e-3e783a58156b.jpg?v=1778152901"},{"product_id":"39-001vw-bespoke-weathered-mk1-bsk-br-research-department-rtc-laboratory-12-rdb975136-light-weathered","title":"39-001VW Bespoke Weathered Mk1 BSK BR Research Department RTC \"Laboratory 12\" RDB975136 - Light Weathered","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003ePlease note that specific photography of this coach has been used to ensure the weathering and additional detailing supplied are as close as possible to the model shown in the images.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003eExclusive to Rails of Sheffield\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis exclusive release of Bachmann’s Mark 1 coach represents BR’s Railway Technical Centre coach ‘Laboratory 12’ (RDB975136).

An initial order for 26 examples placed in January 1963 had already been increased before work had started on the first order and in total, 56 Class 14s were built. Expected to be employed on local trip workings and for short distance goods trains, the good all-around visibility from the cab and dual controls made them ideal for use on shunting duties too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe class was numbered D9500-55 and later designated as Class 14 under TOPS by British Rail. The nickname 'Teddy Bears' came about following a comment by a Swindon Works foreman who commented \"We've built The Great Bear, now we're going to build a 'Teddy Bear'\". Originally, all were allocated to Western Region depots, but in January 1967 twenty were sent to Hull (Dairycoates) on BR’s Eastern Region (ER), followed by a further thirteen later the same year. At Hull, they were intended for work around the docks, but the tasks were beyond the capabilities of a single locomotive, and since two locomotives required two crews, they were not popular with the region. In 1968, all 33 ER locomotives were placed in store, and were subsequently withdrawn on 1st April that year, joining their Western compatriots that had been progressively sidelined during 1967-68.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Class 14s, like many other early diesel types, had an extremely short life with British Railways. In this case it was not because of poor reliability but because many of the envisaged duties disappeared on the BR network a few years after they came into use.

It was a classic symbol of the attitude towards speed and design in the 1930s, which saw increased competition to the railways from road and air travel. The LNER Board knew that they had to make travel between the major cities faster, comfortable and more reliable. High speed diesel services were starting to make an impact abroad and in May 1933, the German State Railways diesel-electric Fliegende Hamburger entered service, running for extended periods at 85mph. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy 1934, in the USA, Burlington Zephyr had reached 112.5mph during a longer 1,015 mile journey. Nigel Gresley, the LNER's Chief Mechanical Officer, travelled on the Fliegende Hamburger and was impressed by its streamlining, although he realized it was only efficient at high speeds. Gresley was certain that a modified A3 Pacific, with streamlining, could haul greater loads than the German or US locomotives, at the same speed or faster and a series of trials were conducted to confirm the Al's suitability. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the trials successfully completed, the LNER Board gave Gresley the go-ahead to create the \"Silver Jubilee\" streamlined trains, the first of the new streamlined A4s.The streamlining of the A4s' steam circuit, higher boiler pressure and extension of the firebox to create a combustion chamber made them more efficient than the A3 as they consumed less coal and water- especially later on when they were also fitted with a Kylchap double chimney. This improved their free steaming capabilities further. Their streamlined design not only made them capable of high speeds, but created an up draught of smoke, preventing obscuring the driver's vision that was such a major problem on the Class A4 engines. The story goes that during wind tunnel testing, after several unsuccessful efforts to get the smoke to lift clear, a thumbprint was inadvertently left on the clay model just behind the chimney. This succeeded in clearing the smoke and was incorporated into the final design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn total, 35 A4s were built in four batches: 2509 - 2512, 4462- 4469, 4482 - 4500 and 4900 - 4903, between 1935 and 1938. They spent their working lives hauling express passenger services from King's Cross to Edinburgh via York and Newcastle. Although the Deltics proved worthy successors of the A4s on East Coast Mainline express services in the late 1950s, other diesel classes were unreliable. The A4s were kept in service until the mid-1960s, the last service under British Rail being the Aberdeen-Glasgow service on September 14, 1966.It was in July 1938 that 'Mallard' was recorded travelling at 126mph at Stoke Bank on the East Coast Mainline, snatching the record from the German railway by a mere 1.5 mph - a record that still stands to this very day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItem Length - 29.1cm, Width - 3.5cm, Height - 5cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1:76 Scale 00 Gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePainted Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC Status: DCC Ready 8 pin socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperator: LNER\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum Curve (mm): Radius 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Parts: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hornby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58270607999360,"sku":"HOR-R3371W","price":149.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/IMG_9204_f302c8b3-088e-4c7b-8016-a4efbc182795.jpg?v=1782820098"},{"product_id":"35-205nrmsfw-bespoke-weathered-green-arrow-br-lined-green-late-crest-class-v2-2-6-2-no-60800-steam-locomotive-dcc-sound","title":"35-205NRMSFW Bespoke Weathered 'Green Arrow' BR Lined Green (Late Crest) Class V2 2-6-2 No.60800 Steam Locomotive - DCC Sound","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDeveloped Exclusively for Locomotion Models by Bachmann Europe, this fantastic rendition of the LNER V2 Class brings the iconic No.4771 'Green Arrow' to OO Gauge.

These 1,700hp Types 3 diesel-electric locomotives were built at English Electric’s Vulcan Foundry and by Robert Stephenson \u0026amp; Hawthorns between 1960 and 1965, with 309 examples produced in total. When TOPS was implemented the type was designated Class 37.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe class proved popular with railwaymen and so in 1985, a major refurbishment programme for the Class 37 locomotives was sanctioned to extend the working lives of 135 locomotives. Features of the refurbishment involved plating over the four-character head codes and sealing off the nose end communication doors. Dedicated freight locomotives received lower gearing to increase the tractive effort, and some were fitted with extra ballast or even more powerful engines. A new subclass was created for locomotives refurbished with Electric Train Heating (ETH) equipment, allowing their use on passenger trains the whole year-round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the sectorisation of British Rail taking hold in the early-1980s, the locomotives returned to traffic following refurbishment in a wide and diverse range of liveries.

With a requirement for locomotives similar in performance to their fleet of Class 66s, but being unable to purchase new Class 66s, GBRf turned to redundant Class 56s which could be converted into new locos with similar capabilities. As part of the conversion new equipment and systems were installed, including EMD 710 diesel engines, the same as those used in Class 66s. The pool of Class 56s to be converted included examples built at BREL Crewe, BREL Doncaster and Electroputere in Romania, with the conversion work undertaken in Stoke-On-Trent by the American company Progress Rail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGBRf formally announced the project in Spring 2019 and the first locomotive, No. 69001, commenced running trials at the Severn Valley Railway in February 2021. The type received approval by the Office of Rail and Road in May 2021, allowing the new locomotives to be pressed into service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe initial order was for ten locomotives with an option for a further six, and by the start of 2024, the first ten locos – Nos. 69001-69010 – had entered service. Each locomotive has been painted by Arlington Fleet Services in Eastleigh and the liveries applied to the Class 69s range from GBRf’s ‘standard’ orange and blue scheme, and variations on it, to retro-BR liveries including BR Blue, BR Large Logo Blue, BR Green and RTC Red \u0026amp; Blue. Several of the Class are named including the first locomotive, No. 69001, which entered traffic in GBRf orange and blue adorned with UK and US flags and named ‘Mayflower’, symbolising the American input into the rebuilding of this British-designed locomotive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58270636900736,"sku":"BAC-35-777SFW","price":285.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/IMG_9259_8b9bb35c-f991-4125-a9ae-9b3d3537d1e5.jpg?v=1782820525"},{"product_id":"31-495sfw-bespoke-weathered-class-158-2-car-dmu-158884-south-west-trains-dcc-sound-copy","title":"31-495SFW Bespoke Weathered Class 158 2-Car DMU 158884 South West Trains - DCC Sound","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClass 158\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis one of British Rail’s most successful second generation Diesel Multiple Units (DMUs); first introduced in 1989, the entire fleet remains in traffic to this day.

They were built to replace many locomotive-hauled passenger trains, thereby reducing cost of operation, and to allow cascading of existing Sprinter units to replace elderly 'heritage' DMUs. The majority of the 182-strong fleet of Class 158 units were built as two-car sets, with 17 three-car units constructed specifically for use on Trans-Pennine services. Similar three-car units were built for use by Network SouthEast but these were converted to Class 159 specification before introduced into service, with toilet retention tanks and other modifications to operate over the third-rail network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll but one of the Class 158s remain in service today (2023), with operators including ScotRail, Northern, Great Western (GWR), East Midlands Trains (now EMR), and Transport for Wales (formerly Arriva). Former operators include Central Trains. The Class has worked extensively across the UK network, even into East Anglia as far as Stansted Airport and Norwich. Some 158s have been converted to additional Class 159s and now operate for South Western alongside their original classmates.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58270643421568,"sku":"BAC-31-495SFW","price":409.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/IMG_9274_6b14ed0b-b884-4108-9271-10a7c453578c.jpg?v=1782820567"},{"product_id":"bespoke-class-60-60063-robert-leech-esh-rail-services-grey-diesel-locomotive-expert-rails-bespoke-re-livery","title":"Bespoke Class 60 60063 'Robert Leech' ESH Rail Services Grey Diesel Locomotive - Expert Rails Bespoke Re-livery","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThese models are customised in house by our own Rails Bespoke team.
