With the arrival of TOPS they were renumbered to Class 46. Fifty-six locomotives were built. The first was withdrawn in 1977 and all of them were withdrawn by the end of 1984. Class 46s began their lives with twin headcode panels situated in the centre of the nose, and later built examples a single central headcode panel, to which all class members were progressively converted. The majority received plated over nose ends with sealed beam headlights in the 1970s. Liveries worn were standard BR lined green, 'austerity' green without the cream embellishments of the original livery, and BR Blue with full yellow ends.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Class 46 design was structurally the same as the preceding Class 45 build, and had the same Sulzer engine, but differed in the fitment of a Brush generator and traction motors, in place of the Crompton Parkinson equipment fitted to the Class 45. Along with the other Sulzer Class 44 and 45 designs they are often referred to as \"Peaks\", so named because the earliest of the Class 44 were named after mountains.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite intermittent use on freight trains, Class 46s were regular performers on passenger turns, particularly North East-South West, Trans-Pennine and secondary North East-London trains, and depot allocations reflected this with locos at Gateshead and Plymouth in 1977 giving a typical spread. Freight workings were also quite often worked over long distances, particularly \"clay hoods\" carrying china clay from Cornwall to the area around Stoke-on-Trent. In the 1980s the remaining locomotives were concentrated at Gateshead depot, and the final booked passenger workings for the class were the dated summer Saturday services Bradford - Weymouth (between Bradford and Birmingham New Street), Newcastle - Plymouth, Newcastle - Blackpool North, and York - Blackpool North. The Class 46s also worked several named expresses including the Yorkshire Pullman, Flying Scotsman, Hull Executive, Thames-Clyde and Thames-Forth, also known as The Waverley, on the much lamented route from Carlisle to Edinburgh via Hawick.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42811266105535,"sku":"BAC-32-704","price":159.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/IMG_1276.jpg?v=1714394575"},{"product_id":"rapido-trains-uk-948107-class-45-br-1co-co1-45108-br-blue-diesel-locomotive","title":"948107 Class 45 45108 BR Blue With Domino Headcodes Diesel Locomotive","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn much the same way as the locos were produced in real-life, the development of our N Gauge Class 45 and 46 has progressed as a continuation from the Class 44.

Directional lighting is also included, which again can be controlled via switches or DCC functions, and a high intensity headlight is fitted at one end only, as sported by the prototype. Whilst the real units were unpowered, the sounds of auxiliary gear and general running noise would still be heard when the units are in motion and so to this end, provision is made for anyone wishing to add sound to their model with a  space and connections for a speaker to be fitted in conjunction with a suitable third-party DCC sound decoder.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDecorated in the rich maroon livery of London Transport and with the lining, including orange lining at cantrail level, numbering and London Transport logos all added to the highest standards using specialist printing techniques, this new model is sure to be a stunning addition to any modern collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMODEL FEATURES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBachmann Branchline OO Scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra 9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnit is Preserved\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePristine London Transport Lined Maroon livery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet No. 428\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-Car Unmotorised Unit comprising DTSO No. LT76297, TFK No. LT71163, TBSK No. LT70823 and DTSO No. LT76324\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccessory Pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNEM Coupling Pockets (outer ends)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConductive Couplings with Integral Close Coupling Mechanisms Between Vehicles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirectional Lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCab and Interior Lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnit Ready to Accept a Speaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquipped with a 21 Pin DCC Decoder Socket – Recommend Decoder item No. 36-557A\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(required to operate the lighting functions when used on DCC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength 1080mm (over couplings)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCLASS 438 4-TC HISTORY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 4-TC (4-Car Trailer Control) units were created between 1966 and 1967 by converting Mk1 loco-hauled coaches and consisted of two Driving Trailer Second Opens (DTSO), a Trailer First Corridor (TFK) and a Trailer Brake Second Corridor (TBSK). A small number of 3-car units were initially made which omitted the TFK, but these soon had a TFK added to bring their formation up to four coaches. The 4-TCs were required to work the London Waterloo to Weymouth line which had been newly electrified but only as far as Bournemouth due to a lack of funds. To overcome this, highly-powered 4-REPs were introduced which operated from London to Bournemouth propelling one or two 4-TCs. At Bournemouth, the unpowered 4-TC(s) would be uncoupled, and a Class 33\/1 diesel locomotive would haul them to Weymouth. On the return journey, the Class 33\/1 would propel the units back to Bournemouth where they would couple to a 4-REP for the return journey to London. In addition to these operations, the 4-TCs could also work in multiple with Class 73s, Class 74s and compatible 1951-\/1957-\/1963-built EMUs and with a driving cab at each end, they could be marshalled at either end of a train and worked in multiple from either cab. Despite being unpowered, the 4-TCs were regarded as Electric Multiple Units (EMUs) by the Southern Region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAside from their usual area of operation between London and Weymouth, the 4-TCs could frequently be seen throughout the South Western division of the Southern Region. Their days were numbered however when the line to Weymouth was electrified in 1988, and most had been withdrawn by 1990. Two units were retained until 1994 for use on ‘Premier Charters’ and whilst operating on railtours 4-TCs reached many parts of the British Rail network including Birmingham, Cardiff, Meldon and Barnstaple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing their withdrawal by BR, eight Class 438 vehicles were acquired by London Underground in 1992. Today, four of these vehicles formed as one 4-TC set remains with London Undeground and this is used for railtours and charters on the London Underground Metropolitan line and national main line, and for hire to heritage railways for galas and special events. The 4-TC forms part of a rake that variously includes the two London Transport livered Class 20 diesel locomotives ‘Sherlock Holmes’ and ‘Sir John Betjeman’, E Class steam locomotive ‘Met 1’, Metropolitan-Vickers electric locomotive ‘Sarah Siddons’, the LT-liveried Inspection Saloon No. 17 ‘Florence Nightingale’, and other mainline locomotives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52560763191680,"sku":"BAC-32-645","price":325.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/IMG_4375_1a60d328-c066-4fcd-803d-6d1447dc84af.jpg?v=1733836797"},{"product_id":"hornby-r30446-greater-anglia-class-755-4-flirt-4-car-pride-livery-train-pack","title":"R30446 Greater Anglia Class 755-4 FLIRT 4 Car Pride Livery Train Pack","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eUnsuitable for Rails DCC Fitting Service as this model requires X2 decoders.

These rebuilds were virtually indistinguishable from the G2s and were very successful for the LMS, with over 300 examples rebuilt.

One example, No. 49395 has been preserved as part of the National Collection, where it has been restored to running order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOwing to a lack of suitable freight engines in the 1930s, the LMS decided to rebuild a significant number of LNWR-built G1s with the powerful 175psi belpaire boiler found on the G2 to create a new class of locomotives, the G2A. These rebuilds were virtually indistinguishable from the G2s and were very successful for the LMS, with over 300 examples rebuilt. Although some were downgraded back to a 160psi boiler and reclassified to G1, the majority of the class was inherited by British Railways in 1948, with the last four cut up in 1964.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55659458822528,"sku":"BAC-31-483SF","price":239.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/IMG_5884_762c7bbf-7c04-4a31-9fe9-8e1c66138b38.jpg?v=1746627050"},{"product_id":"dapol-554725-science-museum-commemorative-wagon-stockton-darlington-200","title":"554725 Science Museum Commemorative Wagon - Stockton \u0026 Darlington 200","description":"\u003cp\u003eIntroducing our Railway 200 Commemorative wagon in N gauge, manufactured by Dapol to mark this monumental anniversary.

In 1925, to mark the centenary, a celebration of railways featuring locomotives from the past century was put on by the London \u0026amp; North Eastern Railway (LNER). Opened by the Duke and Duchess of York – later King Geroge VI and Queen Elizabeth – a procession of locomotives took place over some six miles of line between Stockton and Darlington, passing the royal grandstand and delighting the hundreds of thousands of onlookers who turned out to witness the celebrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe parade of 53 locomotives intended to showcase the evolution of the steam locomotive, from the early examples to modern designs and included LNER K3 No. 203 which was one of the youngest locos on show, having been outshopped by the LNER’s Darlington Works earlier that year. No. 203 was renumbered to 1860 under the LNER’s 1946 renumbering programme, becoming 61860 upon Nationalisation when it entered the British Railways fleet. The locomotive enjoyed a career spanning more than 35 years before it was withdrawn in 1961 and subsequently scrapped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bachmann Branchline model of Gresley’s 2-6-0 mogul employs a diecast running plate and locomotive chassis to provide an impressive weight, ensuring that the model’s strength and versatility is true to prototype. Meanwhile, those components produced in plastic are precision moulded, with details such as rivets and boiler bands crisply reproduced. Separate parts are then added to enhance the authenticity of the model further, from the metal handrails and lamp irons to the safety valves and sprung buffers, each of which are turned brass. Within the cab, controls, dials and pipework are all moulded authentically and decorated accordingly. Multiple parts are added to the locomotive’s chassis, with brake blocks and brake rigging, footsteps and metal wire sandpipes all fitted separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoving to the tender and the locomotive to tender drawbar is adjustable to suit different layout conditions whilst the tender itself is finely moulded, with several separately applied details including the lamp irons, handrails, handwheels and sprung metal buffers.

His predecessor, Henry Ivatt, had already implemented the GNR's letter 'H' classification system for the 20 engines described as Class H1 purchased from the Baldwin Company, USA. The letter 'H' indicated a 2-6-0 locomotive. Gresley's pioneer class of 1912 was in essence an Ivatt 0-6-0 with pony truck and outside cylinders; this received the designation Class H2. A few years later, a development of this class with a larger boiler became Class H3. All were two cylinder locomotives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSubsequently, 1920 saw the introduction of a version with an even larger boiler and three cylinders described as Class H4. After the Grouping they became reclassified K1, K2 and K3 by the LNER in order of their introduction. Altogether, 183 Class K3 locomotives were constructed between 1924 and 1937 at a variety of workshops in compliance with LNER standards, in addition to the ten GNR versions outshopped in 1920.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe emergence of Gresley's Class V2 2-6-2 locomotives in 1936 saw the end of K3 construction. The 193-strong fleet was used all over the former LNER system and the first K3 was withdrawn in February 1958. By December 1962 all were gone and sadly none survived into preservation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55944154317184,"sku":"BAC-32-279B","price":144.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/IMG_2703_6f7628b7-6c04-4f2c-9c59-9c388ac2be0f.jpg?v=1761038647"},{"product_id":"dapol-4d-088-004w-highly-detailed-premium-weathered-class-88-aurora-88010-drs-refrigerated-rail-electro-diesel-locomotive","title":"4D-088-004W Highly Detailed Premium Weathered Class 88 'Aurora' 88010 DRS Refrigerated Rail Electro-Diesel Locomotive","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"sse-row sse-clearfix\" draggable=\"false\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sse-column sse-full\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sse-row sse-clearfix\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sse-column sse-full\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/exclusives2023-200px.png?v=1688556435\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #b70d0d;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExclusive to Rails of Sheffield\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #b70d0d;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCustom Weathered\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iMyJ5G_WXYk?si=lk3cpdOlM9mN582M\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003ePrototype\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sse-row sse-clearfix\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sse-column sse-full\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cb\u003eBritish Rail Class 88\u003c\/b\u003e is a type of mainline mixed traffic electro-diesel locomotive manufactured by Stadler Rail for Direct Rail Services (DRS) in the United Kingdom.

With electrical pickup from all wheels, a firebox lighting system and Next18 DCC interface, plus a pre-fitted speaker in every model, the E Class boasts the same impressive technical specification as its E1 relative. Whilst the drive train and electronics may not be visible, every part of the model that can be seen is treated to an exquisite paint finish to complete the look, with rich colours and precision printing of the numbering and lettering to produce a model as elegant as its Victorian prototype.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model of No. 317 forms part of our new Railway Celebrations range and depicts the locomotive that took part in the 100th Anniversary celebrations of the opening of the Stockton \u0026amp; Darlington Railway.

North Eastern Railway (LNER), was designed by Thomas W. Worsdell for the North Eastern Railway and was intended to become the company’s standard design for shunting engines. T. W. Worsdell became the NER’s Locomotive Superintendent in 1885 and a year later, the first E Class tank entered traffic. Eventually totalling 120 locomotives, 60 were built under T. W. Worsdell’s tenure, followed by 60 more when his brother Wilson Worsdell took over as Locomotive Superintendent following Thomas’s retirement in 1890. Construction ceased in 1895 and three years later, Wilson introduced his own take on the design, the E1 Class, the first of which entered traffic in 1898.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe E Class was set apart from the later E1s by having larger driving wheels and smaller cylinders. The splashers were larger as a result of the larger wheels, meanwhile the ‘Es’ sported smaller bunkers and were not fitted with coal rails at first, although these were later included.

Worsdell became the NER’s Locomotive Superintendent in 1885 and a year later, the first E Class tank entered traffic. Eventually totalling 120 locomotives, 60 were built under T. W. Worsdell’s tenure, followed by 60 more when his brother Wilson Worsdell took over as Locomotive Superintendent following Thomas’s retirement in 1890. Construction ceased in 1895 and three years later, Wilson introduced his own take on the design, the E1 Class, the first of which entered traffic in 1898.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe E Class was set apart from the later E1s by having larger driving wheels and smaller cylinders.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Castle Class turned out to be one of the GWR’s most successful designs, they were not as powerful as the later King Class locomotives, however these were restricted to a small number of routes due to their greater weight, a problem not faced by the Castles which could be found hauling many of the fastest and heaviest express workings across a large part of the GWR network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo impressive was the original design that very few developments were made during their service lives. Streamlining was trialled on one example, but the GWR did not pursue this idea, and several were converted to oil firing for a short period but again this came to nothing. The fitting of a double chimney to 65 members of the class from 1956 was the most significant change as BR bid to improve high speed performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first withdrawal came in 1950 when ‘Star’ conversion No. 4009 bowed out of service, but the type remained strong until 1965 when No. 7029 ‘Clun Castle’ was the last to be withdrawn after it had worked the final steam out of Paddington on 27th November 1965. ‘Clun Castle’ is among eight Castles that survive in preservation today, although the future of one, No. 7027 ‘Thornbury Castle’ which has never been restored from scrapyard condition, remains uncertain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Graham Farish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56342580625792,"sku":"GF-372-035","price":144.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/IMG_7227_64f3be16-dd67-4b05-8dc7-93c2a9480438.jpg?v=1774457736"},{"product_id":"graham-farish-372-035sf-gwr-4073-castle-4082-windsor-castle-gwr-lined-green-shirtbutton-steam-locomotive-dcc-sound","title":"372-035SF GWR 4073 'Castle' 4082 'Windsor Castle' GWR Lined Green (Shirtbutton) Steam Locomotive - DCC Sound","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Graham Farish Castle Class locomotive is a worthy replica of one of the Great Western Railway’s (GWR) finest steam locomotive designs, with its elegant appearance only amplified by the beautiful lined green livery that was synonymous with the GWR, and later British Railway’s Western Region.

CLASS HISTORY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Castle Class turned out to be one of the GWR’s most successful designs, they were not as powerful as the later King Class locomotives, however these were restricted to a small number of routes due to their greater weight, a problem not faced by the Castles which could be found hauling many of the fastest and heaviest express workings across a large part of the GWR network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo impressive was the original design that very few developments were made during their service lives. Streamlining was trialled on one example, but the GWR did not pursue this idea, and several were converted to oil firing for a short period but again this came to nothing. The fitting of a double chimney to 65 members of the class from 1956 was the most significant change as BR bid to improve high speed performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first withdrawal came in 1950 when ‘Star’ conversion No. 4009 bowed out of service, but the type remained strong until 1965 when No. 7029 ‘Clun Castle’ was the last to be withdrawn after it had worked the final steam out of Paddington on 27th November 1965. ‘Clun Castle’ is among eight Castles that survive in preservation today, although the future of one, No. 7027 ‘Thornbury Castle’ which has never been restored from scrapyard condition, remains uncertain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Graham Farish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56342596387200,"sku":"GF-372-035SF","price":229.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/IMG_7227-Copy.jpg?v=1774457747"},{"product_id":"hornby-r30436-railroad-class-37-loram-an-comunn-gaidhealach-37418-diesel-locomotive","title":"R30436 RailRoad Class 37 Loram 'An Comunn Gaidhealach' 37418 Diesel Locomotive","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Hornby RailRoad Class 37 No. 37418 ‘An Comunn Gàidhealach’ is presented in Loram livery and comes DCC ready with a 21-pin decoder socket. this model also includes two etched nameplates for added detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs part of our RailRoad range, this model has been designed with fewer delicate detail parts and more durable detailing, making it better for handling - perfect for beginners or for adding to your existing collection!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased into BR traffic from Vulcan Foundry as D6971 on 18 March 1965, this locomotive was first allocated to Cardiff Canton.
