English Electric submitted its design for a 1,000hp, Type 1 Bo-Bo diesel locomotive and secured an order for twenty as a pilot scheme for assessment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first batch was built in 1957, and the diesels were assigned to work from Devon's Road depot, East London. The design was a success from the start, and several follow-on orders were quickly placed, by 1962 a total of 128 of these Type 1s had been built. The design initially featured headcode discs and marker lights at each end, echoing the 4-position train reporting system used on steam locomotives. More than half of these locomotives were allocated to the Scottish Region and for this they were built with two defining features. A bodyside recess was built into each cab side which could accommodate swing out tablet catchers needed for the semi-automatic exchange of tokens used for single line operation. The second was the cab side windows which were deeper, giving crew access to reach the tablet catcher fitted into the recess below. As it happened, few locomotives had catchers fitted into their recesses as the practice ended soon after the diesels arrived.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst the English Electric Type 1s were a success, the same could not be said for many other pilot scheme designs and following assessment of all the Type 1 diesels, BRB placed a further order taking the fleet to 228 examples by 1968 and the design became the BR standard for 1,000hp diesel locomotives. Meanwhile, BR had moved from the traditional disc headcodes for train reporting to a new 4-character alpha-numeric system and so the final 100 locomotives arrived with a new central headcode box at either end in place of the discs and marker lights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the introduction of the Total Operations Processing System (TOPS) in the 1970s the Type 1s were designated Class 20 and renumbered 20001 to 20228. The locomotives were principally designed for freight work but also saw service on summer passenger trains where train heating was not required. The Class 20s worked over the Eastern, London Midland and Scottish regions as well as into Wales and were commonly associated with coal traffic. The only drawback the Class had was its single end cab, unlike modern designs that have a cab at each end. BR resolved this problem by regularly operating the Class 20s as pairs, nose to nose, and with the combined power of 2,000hp they were able to haul the heavier block freight trains. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBR's decision to switch to Type 5 and in particular Class 60 diesels in the late 1980s started a gradual withdrawal of the fleet, with just 28 left by 1994. However, 15 locomotives gained a new lease of life as part of the Direct Rail Services (DRS) upgrade and refurbishment programme which commenced in 1995, the product of which were the Class 20\/3s. Today, some of the Class 20\/3s remain in use on the national network, alongside a small number of original Class 20s which are now in private ownership. The type is well represented in preservation too, with around twenty Class 20s now in the care of heritage and preservation groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Graham Farish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57659258012032,"sku":"GF-371-030A","price":144.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/7d3bbd7f-c825-4cd0-b870-727f0b42f94a.jpg?v=1778061810"},{"product_id":"graham-farish-371-030asf-class-20-0-disc-headcode-tablet-catcher-d8032-br-green-late-crest-diesel-locomotive-dcc-sound","title":"371-030ASF Class 20\/0 Disc Headcode \u0026 Tablet Catcher D8032 BR Green (Late Crest) Diesel Locomotive - DCC Sound","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"flexRow row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tabPanelWell\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content panel panel-default hidden-xs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-pane panel-body active\" id=\"Description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpected Delivery Nov \/ Dec \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e2026\u003c\/span\u003e (Subject to Change at Manufacturer's Discretion).\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Class 20 was one of the most successful designs born from British Rail’s Modernisation Plan, and the Graham Farish model of this English Electric icon has long been a worthy replica but following a works visit, our N Scale model is back and better than ever before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew tooling has been added to the Graham Farish Class 20 suite allowing models of the locomotives that were built to work in Scotland to be offered for the first time.

English Electric submitted its design for a 1,000hp, Type 1 Bo-Bo diesel locomotive and secured an order for twenty as a pilot scheme for assessment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first batch was built in 1957, and the diesels were assigned to work from Devon's Road depot, East London. The design was a success from the start, and several follow-on orders were quickly placed, by 1962 a total of 128 of these Type 1s had been built. The design initially featured headcode discs and marker lights at each end, echoing the 4-position train reporting system used on steam locomotives. More than half of these locomotives were allocated to the Scottish Region and for this they were built with two defining features. A bodyside recess was built into each cab side which could accommodate swing out tablet catchers needed for the semi-automatic exchange of tokens used for single line operation. The second was the cab side windows which were deeper, giving crew access to reach the tablet catcher fitted into the recess below. As it happened, few locomotives had catchers fitted into their recesses as the practice ended soon after the diesels arrived.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst the English Electric Type 1s were a success, the same could not be said for many other pilot scheme designs and following assessment of all the Type 1 diesels, BRB placed a further order taking the fleet to 228 examples by 1968 and the design became the BR standard for 1,000hp diesel locomotives. Meanwhile, BR had moved from the traditional disc headcodes for train reporting to a new 4-character alpha-numeric system and so the final 100 locomotives arrived with a new central headcode box at either end in place of the discs and marker lights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the introduction of the Total Operations Processing System (TOPS) in the 1970s the Type 1s were designated Class 20 and renumbered 20001 to 20228. The locomotives were principally designed for freight work but also saw service on summer passenger trains where train heating was not required. The Class 20s worked over the Eastern, London Midland and Scottish regions as well as into Wales and were commonly associated with coal traffic. The only drawback the Class had was its single end cab, unlike modern designs that have a cab at each end. BR resolved this problem by regularly operating the Class 20s as pairs, nose to nose, and with the combined power of 2,000hp they were able to haul the heavier block freight trains. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBR's decision to switch to Type 5 and in particular Class 60 diesels in the late 1980s started a gradual withdrawal of the fleet, with just 28 left by 1994. However, 15 locomotives gained a new lease of life as part of the Direct Rail Services (DRS) upgrade and refurbishment programme which commenced in 1995, the product of which were the Class 20\/3s. Today, some of the Class 20\/3s remain in use on the national network, alongside a small number of original Class 20s which are now in private ownership. The type is well represented in preservation too, with around twenty Class 20s now in the care of heritage and preservation groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Graham Farish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57659332788608,"sku":"GF-371-030ASF","price":237.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/fc5c2f5f-5529-43a9-bf65-9fb3e786bfe3.jpg?v=1778062495"},{"product_id":"graham-farish-371-030bsf-class-20-0-disc-headcode-tablet-catcher-recess-d8102-br-green-roundel-diesel-locomotive-dcc-sound","title":"371-030BSF Class 20\/0 Disc Headcode \u0026 Tablet Catcher Recess D8102 BR Green (Roundel) Diesel Locomotive - DCC Sound","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"flexRow row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tabPanelWell\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content panel panel-default hidden-xs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"Description\" class=\"tab-pane panel-body active\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpected Delivery Nov \/ Dec \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e2026\u003c\/span\u003e (Subject to Change at Manufacturer's Discretion).\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Class 20 was one of the most successful designs born from British Rail’s Modernisation Plan, and the Graham Farish model of this English Electric icon has long been a worthy replica but following a works visit, our N Scale model is back and better than ever before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew tooling has been added to the Graham Farish Class 20 suite allowing models of the locomotives that were built to work in Scotland to be offered for the first time.

English Electric submitted its design for a 1,000hp, Type 1 Bo-Bo diesel locomotive and secured an order for twenty as a pilot scheme for assessment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first batch was built in 1957, and the diesels were assigned to work from Devon's Road depot, East London. The design was a success from the start, and several follow-on orders were quickly placed, by 1962 a total of 128 of these Type 1s had been built. The design initially featured headcode discs and marker lights at each end, echoing the 4-position train reporting system used on steam locomotives. More than half of these locomotives were allocated to the Scottish Region and for this they were built with two defining features. A bodyside recess was built into each cab side which could accommodate swing out tablet catchers needed for the semi-automatic exchange of tokens used for single line operation. The second was the cab side windows which were deeper, giving crew access to reach the tablet catcher fitted into the recess below. As it happened, few locomotives had catchers fitted into their recesses as the practice ended soon after the diesels arrived.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst the English Electric Type 1s were a success, the same could not be said for many other pilot scheme designs and following assessment of all the Type 1 diesels, BRB placed a further order taking the fleet to 228 examples by 1968 and the design became the BR standard for 1,000hp diesel locomotives. Meanwhile, BR had moved from the traditional disc headcodes for train reporting to a new 4-character alpha-numeric system and so the final 100 locomotives arrived with a new central headcode box at either end in place of the discs and marker lights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the introduction of the Total Operations Processing System (TOPS) in the 1970s the Type 1s were designated Class 20 and renumbered 20001 to 20228. The locomotives were principally designed for freight work but also saw service on summer passenger trains where train heating was not required. The Class 20s worked over the Eastern, London Midland and Scottish regions as well as into Wales and were commonly associated with coal traffic. The only drawback the Class had was its single end cab, unlike modern designs that have a cab at each end. BR resolved this problem by regularly operating the Class 20s as pairs, nose to nose, and with the combined power of 2,000hp they were able to haul the heavier block freight trains. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBR's decision to switch to Type 5 and in particular Class 60 diesels in the late 1980s started a gradual withdrawal of the fleet, with just 28 left by 1994. However, 15 locomotives gained a new lease of life as part of the Direct Rail Services (DRS) upgrade and refurbishment programme which commenced in 1995, the product of which were the Class 20\/3s. Today, some of the Class 20\/3s remain in use on the national network, alongside a small number of original Class 20s which are now in private ownership. The type is well represented in preservation too, with around twenty Class 20s now in the care of heritage and preservation groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Graham Farish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57659342520704,"sku":"GF-371-030BSF","price":237.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/ae0485e0-279a-4707-b229-12c205e0a7e9.jpg?v=1778062770"},{"product_id":"graham-farish-371-030b-class-20-0-disc-headcode-tablet-catcher-recess-d8102-br-green-roundel-diesel-locomotive","title":"371-030B Class 20\/0 Disc Headcode \u0026 Tablet Catcher Recess D8102 BR Green (Roundel) Diesel Locomotive","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"flexRow row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tabPanelWell\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content panel panel-default hidden-xs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-pane panel-body active\" id=\"Description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpected Delivery Nov \/ Dec \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e2026\u003c\/span\u003e (Subject to Change at Manufacturer's Discretion).\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Class 20 was one of the most successful designs born from British Rail’s Modernisation Plan, and the Graham Farish model of this English Electric icon has long been a worthy replica but following a works visit, our N Scale model is back and better than ever before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew tooling has been added to the Graham Farish Class 20 suite allowing models of the locomotives that were built to work in Scotland to be offered for the first time.

A bodyside recess was built into each cab side which could accommodate swing out tablet catchers needed for the semi-automatic exchange of tokens used for single line operation. The second was the cab side windows which were deeper, giving crew access to reach the tablet catcher fitted into the recess below. As it happened, few locomotives had catchers fitted into their recesses as the practice ended soon after the diesels arrived.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst the English Electric Type 1s were a success, the same could not be said for many other pilot scheme designs and following assessment of all the Type 1 diesels, BRB placed a further order taking the fleet to 228 examples by 1968 and the design became the BR standard for 1,000hp diesel locomotives. Meanwhile, BR had moved from the traditional disc headcodes for train reporting to a new 4-character alpha-numeric system and so the final 100 locomotives arrived with a new central headcode box at either end in place of the discs and marker lights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the introduction of the Total Operations Processing System (TOPS) in the 1970s the Type 1s were designated Class 20 and renumbered 20001 to 20228. The locomotives were principally designed for freight work but also saw service on summer passenger trains where train heating was not required. The Class 20s worked over the Eastern, London Midland and Scottish regions as well as into Wales and were commonly associated with coal traffic. The only drawback the Class had was its single end cab, unlike modern designs that have a cab at each end. BR resolved this problem by regularly operating the Class 20s as pairs, nose to nose, and with the combined power of 2,000hp they were able to haul the heavier block freight trains. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBR's decision to switch to Type 5 and in particular Class 60 diesels in the late 1980s started a gradual withdrawal of the fleet, with just 28 left by 1994. However, 15 locomotives gained a new lease of life as part of the Direct Rail Services (DRS) upgrade and refurbishment programme which commenced in 1995, the product of which were the Class 20\/3s. Today, some of the Class 20\/3s remain in use on the national network, alongside a small number of original Class 20s which are now in private ownership. The type is well represented in preservation too, with around twenty Class 20s now in the care of heritage and preservation groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Graham Farish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57659364901248,"sku":"GF-371-030B","price":144.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/92fb5543-848a-46b0-9fee-10f827afb420.jpg?v=1778062651"},{"product_id":"graham-farish-class-371-032b-20-0-disc-headcode-tablet-catcher-recess-20077-br-blue-diesel-locomotive","title":"371-032B Class 20\/0 Disc Headcode \u0026 Tablet Catcher Recess 20077 BR Blue Diesel Locomotive","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"flexRow row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tabPanelWell\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content panel panel-default hidden-xs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"Description\" class=\"tab-pane panel-body active\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpected Delivery Nov \/ Dec \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e2026\u003c\/span\u003e (Subject to Change at Manufacturer's Discretion).\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Class 20 was one of the most successful designs born from British Rail’s Modernisation Plan, and the Graham Farish model of this English Electric icon has long been a worthy replica but following a works visit, our N Scale model is back and better than ever before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew tooling has been added to the Graham Farish Class 20 suite allowing models of the locomotives that were built to work in Scotland to be offered for the first time.

English Electric submitted its design for a 1,000hp, Type 1 Bo-Bo diesel locomotive and secured an order for twenty as a pilot scheme for assessment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first batch was built in 1957, and the diesels were assigned to work from Devon's Road depot, East London. The design was a success from the start, and several follow-on orders were quickly placed, by 1962 a total of 128 of these Type 1s had been built. The design initially featured headcode discs and marker lights at each end, echoing the 4-position train reporting system used on steam locomotives. More than half of these locomotives were allocated to the Scottish Region and for this they were built with two defining features. A bodyside recess was built into each cab side which could accommodate swing out tablet catchers needed for the semi-automatic exchange of tokens used for single line operation. The second was the cab side windows which were deeper, giving crew access to reach the tablet catcher fitted into the recess below. As it happened, few locomotives had catchers fitted into their recesses as the practice ended soon after the diesels arrived.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst the English Electric Type 1s were a success, the same could not be said for many other pilot scheme designs and following assessment of all the Type 1 diesels, BRB placed a further order taking the fleet to 228 examples by 1968 and the design became the BR standard for 1,000hp diesel locomotives. Meanwhile, BR had moved from the traditional disc headcodes for train reporting to a new 4-character alpha-numeric system and so the final 100 locomotives arrived with a new central headcode box at either end in place of the discs and marker lights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the introduction of the Total Operations Processing System (TOPS) in the 1970s the Type 1s were designated Class 20 and renumbered 20001 to 20228. The locomotives were principally designed for freight work but also saw service on summer passenger trains where train heating was not required. The Class 20s worked over the Eastern, London Midland and Scottish regions as well as into Wales and were commonly associated with coal traffic. The only drawback the Class had was its single end cab, unlike modern designs that have a cab at each end. BR resolved this problem by regularly operating the Class 20s as pairs, nose to nose, and with the combined power of 2,000hp they were able to haul the heavier block freight trains. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBR's decision to switch to Type 5 and in particular Class 60 diesels in the late 1980s started a gradual withdrawal of the fleet, with just 28 left by 1994. However, 15 locomotives gained a new lease of life as part of the Direct Rail Services (DRS) upgrade and refurbishment programme which commenced in 1995, the product of which were the Class 20\/3s. Today, some of the Class 20\/3s remain in use on the national network, alongside a small number of original Class 20s which are now in private ownership. The type is well represented in preservation too, with around twenty Class 20s now in the care of heritage and preservation groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Graham Farish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57659413332352,"sku":"GF-371-032BSF","price":237.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/a29556d6-7fac-4f31-af00-b8e51e121519.jpg?v=1778063188"},{"product_id":"graham-farish-371-032csf-class-20-0-disc-headcode-tablet-catcher-recess-20098-br-blue-diesel-locomotive-dcc-sound","title":"371-032CSF Class 20\/0 Disc Headcode \u0026 Tablet Catcher Recess 20098 BR Blue Diesel Locomotive - DCC Sound","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"flexRow row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tabPanelWell\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content panel panel-default hidden-xs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"Description\" class=\"tab-pane panel-body active\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpected Delivery Nov \/ Dec \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e2026\u003c\/span\u003e (Subject to Change at Manufacturer's Discretion).\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Class 20 was one of the most successful designs born from British Rail’s Modernisation Plan, and the Graham Farish model of this English Electric icon has long been a worthy replica but following a works visit, our N Scale model is back and better than ever before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew tooling has been added to the Graham Farish Class 20 suite allowing models of the locomotives that were built to work in Scotland to be offered for the first time.

English Electric submitted its design for a 1,000hp, Type 1 Bo-Bo diesel locomotive and secured an order for twenty as a pilot scheme for assessment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first batch was built in 1957, and the diesels were assigned to work from Devon's Road depot, East London. The design was a success from the start, and several follow-on orders were quickly placed, by 1962 a total of 128 of these Type 1s had been built. The design initially featured headcode discs and marker lights at each end, echoing the 4-position train reporting system used on steam locomotives. More than half of these locomotives were allocated to the Scottish Region and for this they were built with two defining features. A bodyside recess was built into each cab side which could accommodate swing out tablet catchers needed for the semi-automatic exchange of tokens used for single line operation. The second was the cab side windows which were deeper, giving crew access to reach the tablet catcher fitted into the recess below. As it happened, few locomotives had catchers fitted into their recesses as the practice ended soon after the diesels arrived.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst the English Electric Type 1s were a success, the same could not be said for many other pilot scheme designs and following assessment of all the Type 1 diesels, BRB placed a further order taking the fleet to 228 examples by 1968 and the design became the BR standard for 1,000hp diesel locomotives. Meanwhile, BR had moved from the traditional disc headcodes for train reporting to a new 4-character alpha-numeric system and so the final 100 locomotives arrived with a new central headcode box at either end in place of the discs and marker lights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the introduction of the Total Operations Processing System (TOPS) in the 1970s the Type 1s were designated Class 20 and renumbered 20001 to 20228. The locomotives were principally designed for freight work but also saw service on summer passenger trains where train heating was not required. The Class 20s worked over the Eastern, London Midland and Scottish regions as well as into Wales and were commonly associated with coal traffic. The only drawback the Class had was its single end cab, unlike modern designs that have a cab at each end. BR resolved this problem by regularly operating the Class 20s as pairs, nose to nose, and with the combined power of 2,000hp they were able to haul the heavier block freight trains. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBR's decision to switch to Type 5 and in particular Class 60 diesels in the late 1980s started a gradual withdrawal of the fleet, with just 28 left by 1994. However, 15 locomotives gained a new lease of life as part of the Direct Rail Services (DRS) upgrade and refurbishment programme which commenced in 1995, the product of which were the Class 20\/3s. Today, some of the Class 20\/3s remain in use on the national network, alongside a small number of original Class 20s which are now in private ownership. The type is well represented in preservation too, with around twenty Class 20s now in the care of heritage and preservation groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Graham Farish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57659427783040,"sku":"GF-371-032CSF","price":237.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/7eaebbdc-7946-466d-8704-ba77f190b58c.jpg?v=1778063505"},{"product_id":"graham-farish-371-032c-class-20-0-disc-headcode-tablet-catcher-recess-20098-br-blue-diesel-locomotive","title":"371-032C Class 20\/0 Disc Headcode \u0026 Tablet Catcher Recess 20098 BR Blue Diesel Locomotive","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"flexRow row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tabPanelWell\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content panel panel-default hidden-xs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"Description\" class=\"tab-pane panel-body active\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpected Delivery Nov \/ Dec \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e2026\u003c\/span\u003e (Subject to Change at Manufacturer's Discretion).\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Class 20 was one of the most successful designs born from British Rail’s Modernisation Plan, and the Graham Farish model of this English Electric icon has long been a worthy replica but following a works visit, our N Scale model is back and better than ever before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew tooling has been added to the Graham Farish Class 20 suite allowing models of the locomotives that were built to work in Scotland to be offered for the first time.

English Electric submitted its design for a 1,000hp, Type 1 Bo-Bo diesel locomotive and secured an order for twenty as a pilot scheme for assessment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first batch was built in 1957, and the diesels were assigned to work from Devon's Road depot, East London. The design was a success from the start, and several follow-on orders were quickly placed, by 1962 a total of 128 of these Type 1s had been built. The design initially featured headcode discs and marker lights at each end, echoing the 4-position train reporting system used on steam locomotives. More than half of these locomotives were allocated to the Scottish Region and for this they were built with two defining features. A bodyside recess was built into each cab side which could accommodate swing out tablet catchers needed for the semi-automatic exchange of tokens used for single line operation. The second was the cab side windows which were deeper, giving crew access to reach the tablet catcher fitted into the recess below. As it happened, few locomotives had catchers fitted into their recesses as the practice ended soon after the diesels arrived.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst the English Electric Type 1s were a success, the same could not be said for many other pilot scheme designs and following assessment of all the Type 1 diesels, BRB placed a further order taking the fleet to 228 examples by 1968 and the design became the BR standard for 1,000hp diesel locomotives. Meanwhile, BR had moved from the traditional disc headcodes for train reporting to a new 4-character alpha-numeric system and so the final 100 locomotives arrived with a new central headcode box at either end in place of the discs and marker lights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the introduction of the Total Operations Processing System (TOPS) in the 1970s the Type 1s were designated Class 20 and renumbered 20001 to 20228. The locomotives were principally designed for freight work but also saw service on summer passenger trains where train heating was not required. The Class 20s worked over the Eastern, London Midland and Scottish regions as well as into Wales and were commonly associated with coal traffic. The only drawback the Class had was its single end cab, unlike modern designs that have a cab at each end. BR resolved this problem by regularly operating the Class 20s as pairs, nose to nose, and with the combined power of 2,000hp they were able to haul the heavier block freight trains. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBR's decision to switch to Type 5 and in particular Class 60 diesels in the late 1980s started a gradual withdrawal of the fleet, with just 28 left by 1994. However, 15 locomotives gained a new lease of life as part of the Direct Rail Services (DRS) upgrade and refurbishment programme which commenced in 1995, the product of which were the Class 20\/3s. Today, some of the Class 20\/3s remain in use on the national network, alongside a small number of original Class 20s which are now in private ownership. The type is well represented in preservation too, with around twenty Class 20s now in the care of heritage and preservation groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Graham Farish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57659451801984,"sku":"GF-371-032C","price":144.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/a89017b5-996f-4e46-b1ad-579e76b60247.jpg?v=1778063356"},{"product_id":"graham-farish-371-039-class-20-0-disc-headcode-20090-br-railfreight-red-stripe-diesel-locomotive","title":"371-039 Class 20\/0 Disc Headcode 20090 BR Railfreight (Red Stripe) Diesel Locomotive","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"flexRow row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tabPanelWell\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content panel panel-default hidden-xs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"Description\" class=\"tab-pane panel-body active\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpected Delivery Nov \/ Dec \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e2026\u003c\/span\u003e (Subject to Change at Manufacturer's Discretion).\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Class 20 was one of the most successful designs born from British Rail’s Modernisation Plan, and the Graham Farish model of this English Electric icon has long been a worthy replica but following a works visit, our N Scale model is back and better than ever before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew tooling has been added to the Graham Farish Class 20 suite allowing models of the locomotives that were built to work in Scotland to be offered for the first time.

A bodyside recess was built into each cab side which could accommodate swing out tablet catchers needed for the semi-automatic exchange of tokens used for single line operation. The second was the cab side windows which were deeper, giving crew access to reach the tablet catcher fitted into the recess below. As it happened, few locomotives had catchers fitted into their recesses as the practice ended soon after the diesels arrived.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst the English Electric Type 1s were a success, the same could not be said for many other pilot scheme designs and following assessment of all the Type 1 diesels, BRB placed a further order taking the fleet to 228 examples by 1968 and the design became the BR standard for 1,000hp diesel locomotives. Meanwhile, BR had moved from the traditional disc headcodes for train reporting to a new 4-character alpha-numeric system and so the final 100 locomotives arrived with a new central headcode box at either end in place of the discs and marker lights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the introduction of the Total Operations Processing System (TOPS) in the 1970s the Type 1s were designated Class 20 and renumbered 20001 to 20228. The locomotives were principally designed for freight work but also saw service on summer passenger trains where train heating was not required. The Class 20s worked over the Eastern, London Midland and Scottish regions as well as into Wales and were commonly associated with coal traffic. The only drawback the Class had was its single end cab, unlike modern designs that have a cab at each end. BR resolved this problem by regularly operating the Class 20s as pairs, nose to nose, and with the combined power of 2,000hp they were able to haul the heavier block freight trains. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBR's decision to switch to Type 5 and in particular Class 60 diesels in the late 1980s started a gradual withdrawal of the fleet, with just 28 left by 1994. However, 15 locomotives gained a new lease of life as part of the Direct Rail Services (DRS) upgrade and refurbishment programme which commenced in 1995, the product of which were the Class 20\/3s. Today, some of the Class 20\/3s remain in use on the national network, alongside a small number of original Class 20s which are now in private ownership. The type is well represented in preservation too, with around twenty Class 20s now in the care of heritage and preservation groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Graham Farish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57659482243456,"sku":"GF-371-039","price":144.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/07716935-115a-46b2-883f-5062c4dda099.jpg?v=1778063675"},{"product_id":"graham-farish-371-039sf-class-20-0-disc-headcode-20090-br-railfreight-red-stripe-diesel-locomotive-dcc-sound","title":"371-039SF Class 20\/0 Disc Headcode 20090 BR Railfreight (Red Stripe) Diesel Locomotive - DCC Sound","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"flexRow row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tabPanelWell\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content panel panel-default hidden-xs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"Description\" class=\"tab-pane panel-body active\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpected Delivery Nov \/ Dec \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e2026\u003c\/span\u003e (Subject to Change at Manufacturer's Discretion).\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Class 20 was one of the most successful designs born from British Rail’s Modernisation Plan, and the Graham Farish model of this English Electric icon has long been a worthy replica but following a works visit, our N Scale model is back and better than ever before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew tooling has been added to the Graham Farish Class 20 suite allowing models of the locomotives that were built to work in Scotland to be offered for the first time.

English Electric submitted its design for a 1,000hp, Type 1 Bo-Bo diesel locomotive and secured an order for twenty as a pilot scheme for assessment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first batch was built in 1957, and the diesels were assigned to work from Devon's Road depot, East London. The design was a success from the start, and several follow-on orders were quickly placed, by 1962 a total of 128 of these Type 1s had been built. The design initially featured headcode discs and marker lights at each end, echoing the 4-position train reporting system used on steam locomotives. More than half of these locomotives were allocated to the Scottish Region and for this they were built with two defining features. A bodyside recess was built into each cab side which could accommodate swing out tablet catchers needed for the semi-automatic exchange of tokens used for single line operation. The second was the cab side windows which were deeper, giving crew access to reach the tablet catcher fitted into the recess below. As it happened, few locomotives had catchers fitted into their recesses as the practice ended soon after the diesels arrived.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst the English Electric Type 1s were a success, the same could not be said for many other pilot scheme designs and following assessment of all the Type 1 diesels, BRB placed a further order taking the fleet to 228 examples by 1968 and the design became the BR standard for 1,000hp diesel locomotives. Meanwhile, BR had moved from the traditional disc headcodes for train reporting to a new 4-character alpha-numeric system and so the final 100 locomotives arrived with a new central headcode box at either end in place of the discs and marker lights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the introduction of the Total Operations Processing System (TOPS) in the 1970s the Type 1s were designated Class 20 and renumbered 20001 to 20228. The locomotives were principally designed for freight work but also saw service on summer passenger trains where train heating was not required. The Class 20s worked over the Eastern, London Midland and Scottish regions as well as into Wales and were commonly associated with coal traffic. The only drawback the Class had was its single end cab, unlike modern designs that have a cab at each end. BR resolved this problem by regularly operating the Class 20s as pairs, nose to nose, and with the combined power of 2,000hp they were able to haul the heavier block freight trains. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBR's decision to switch to Type 5 and in particular Class 60 diesels in the late 1980s started a gradual withdrawal of the fleet, with just 28 left by 1994. However, 15 locomotives gained a new lease of life as part of the Direct Rail Services (DRS) upgrade and refurbishment programme which commenced in 1995, the product of which were the Class 20\/3s. Today, some of the Class 20\/3s remain in use on the national network, alongside a small number of original Class 20s which are now in private ownership. The type is well represented in preservation too, with around twenty Class 20s now in the care of heritage and preservation groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Graham Farish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57659538702720,"sku":"GF-371-039ASF","price":237.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/a8abbde3-af1b-4ddc-b072-001bd47d244c.jpg?v=1778063873"},{"product_id":"graham-farish-371-039a-class-20-0-disc-headcode-20104-br-railfreight-red-stripe-diesel-locomotive","title":"371-039A Class 20\/0 Disc Headcode 20104 BR Railfreight (Red Stripe) Diesel Locomotive","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"flexRow row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tabPanelWell\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content panel panel-default hidden-xs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"Description\" class=\"tab-pane panel-body active\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpected Delivery Nov \/ Dec \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e2026\u003c\/span\u003e (Subject to Change at Manufacturer's Discretion).\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Class 20 was one of the most successful designs born from British Rail’s Modernisation Plan, and the Graham Farish model of this English Electric icon has long been a worthy replica but following a works visit, our N Scale model is back and better than ever before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew tooling has been added to the Graham Farish Class 20 suite allowing models of the locomotives that were built to work in Scotland to be offered for the first time.

English Electric submitted its design for a 1,000hp, Type 1 Bo-Bo diesel locomotive and secured an order for twenty as a pilot scheme for assessment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first batch was built in 1957, and the diesels were assigned to work from Devon's Road depot, East London. The design was a success from the start, and several follow-on orders were quickly placed, by 1962 a total of 128 of these Type 1s had been built. The design initially featured headcode discs and marker lights at each end, echoing the 4-position train reporting system used on steam locomotives. More than half of these locomotives were allocated to the Scottish Region and for this they were built with two defining features. A bodyside recess was built into each cab side which could accommodate swing out tablet catchers needed for the semi-automatic exchange of tokens used for single line operation. The second was the cab side windows which were deeper, giving crew access to reach the tablet catcher fitted into the recess below. As it happened, few locomotives had catchers fitted into their recesses as the practice ended soon after the diesels arrived.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst the English Electric Type 1s were a success, the same could not be said for many other pilot scheme designs and following assessment of all the Type 1 diesels, BRB placed a further order taking the fleet to 228 examples by 1968 and the design became the BR standard for 1,000hp diesel locomotives. Meanwhile, BR had moved from the traditional disc headcodes for train reporting to a new 4-character alpha-numeric system and so the final 100 locomotives arrived with a new central headcode box at either end in place of the discs and marker lights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the introduction of the Total Operations Processing System (TOPS) in the 1970s the Type 1s were designated Class 20 and renumbered 20001 to 20228. The locomotives were principally designed for freight work but also saw service on summer passenger trains where train heating was not required. The Class 20s worked over the Eastern, London Midland and Scottish regions as well as into Wales and were commonly associated with coal traffic. The only drawback the Class had was its single end cab, unlike modern designs that have a cab at each end. BR resolved this problem by regularly operating the Class 20s as pairs, nose to nose, and with the combined power of 2,000hp they were able to haul the heavier block freight trains. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBR's decision to switch to Type 5 and in particular Class 60 diesels in the late 1980s started a gradual withdrawal of the fleet, with just 28 left by 1994. However, 15 locomotives gained a new lease of life as part of the Direct Rail Services (DRS) upgrade and refurbishment programme which commenced in 1995, the product of which were the Class 20\/3s. Today, some of the Class 20\/3s remain in use on the national network, alongside a small number of original Class 20s which are now in private ownership. The type is well represented in preservation too, with around twenty Class 20s now in the care of heritage and preservation groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Graham Farish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57659559444864,"sku":"GF-371-039A","price":144.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/e30f4324-9150-48a2-907f-0f03d2f276a8.jpg?v=1778064378"}],"url":"https:\/\/railsofsheffield.com\/collections\/graham-farish-march-2026-announcement.oembed","provider":"Rails of Sheffield","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
