One hundred and fifty-one were built at BR’s Derby, Crewe and Darlington Works, the first twenty of them as part of the British Railways 1955 Modernisation Plan. This Class was used as the basis for the development of the Class 25 locomotives. Initial deliveries were for operation in the Crewe and Derby areas, but fifteen of the initial twenty were diverted for use on the Southern Region to cover for delays in the Kent Coast Electrification scheme.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs deliveries continued, allocations were made to both the London Midland Region and Eastern Region, and with the Class becoming familiar to crews and staff around London they were used on freight trains over the Metropolitan Widened Lines. Locos allocated to East Anglia for use on freight soon became redundant due to the rundown of services in that region, and these were, in turn, moved to Wales and Lancashire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll Class 24s were powered by the reliable 6LDA28-A Sulzer engine which gave an output of 1,160bhp. Disc headcodes were fitted to all Class 24\/0s along with large fuel tanks and water tanks for the steam heat boilers, although these were later removed in many cases. The first Class 24 was withdrawn in 1967 following fire damage but the last remained in service until 1980.

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. Passenger machines appeared in BR Blue Large Logo, InterCity and Regional Railways schemes to name just three, whilst freight engines received numerous varieties of Railfreight livery, Transrail, Mainline and Loadhaul. The Class continued to be widely used into the Privatisation-era, with examples operating for the likes of EWS, DRS, West Coast Railways and Colas, whilst others have received ‘retro’ heritage repaints\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44025782960363,"sku":"35-311SF","price":305.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/5292\/7467\/files\/35-311SF.jpg?v=1688828574"},{"product_id":"bachmann-35-311-class-37-0-centre-headcode-37262-dounreay-br-engineers-grey","title":"Bachmann 35-311 - Class 37\/0 Centre Headcode 37262 'Dounreay' BR Engineers Grey","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe British Rail Class 37 is a favourite among enthusiasts and modellers alike and, having been a firm fixture in the Bachmann Branchline OO scale range for many years, in 2022 an all-new model of this iconic locomotive was launched.

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. Passenger machines appeared in BR Blue Large Logo, InterCity and Regional Railways schemes to name just three, whilst freight engines received numerous varieties of Railfreight livery, Transrail, Mainline and Loadhaul. The Class continued to be widely used into the Privatisation-era, with examples operating for the likes of EWS, DRS, West Coast Railways and Colas, whilst others have received ‘retro’ heritage repaints.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44025792397547,"sku":"35-311","price":217.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/5292\/7467\/files\/35-311.jpg?v=1688829055"},{"product_id":"bachmann-35-310-class-37-0-37175-colas-railfreight","title":"Bachmann 35-310 - Class 37\/0 37175 Colas Railfreight","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe British Rail Class 37 is a favourite among enthusiasts and modellers alike and, having been a firm fixture in the Bachmann Branchline OO scale range for many years, in 2022 an all-new model of this iconic locomotive was launched.

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. Passenger machines appeared in BR Blue Large Logo, InterCity and Regional Railways schemes to name just three, whilst freight engines received numerous varieties of Railfreight livery, Transrail, Mainline and Loadhaul. The Class continued to be widely used into the Privatisation-era, with examples operating for the likes of EWS, DRS, West Coast Railways and Colas, whilst others have received ‘retro’ heritage repaints.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44061826089195,"sku":"35-310","price":220.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/5292\/7467\/files\/35-310.jpg?v=1691240415"},{"product_id":"hornby-r30011-scotrail-class-153-no-153377","title":"Hornby R30011 - Scotrail Class 153 No. 153377","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe origins of the Class 153 date back to 1990, when British Rail needed replacements for its ageing fleet of Class 121 and 122 'Bubble Car' diesel railcars for use on the quiet Cornish, Welsh, North-Western, Norfolk and Lincolnshire branch lines, as well as augmenting rural two car units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally built as a two-car Class 155 'Super Sprinter' by British Leyland between 1987 and 1988, using a construction technique similar to that used in the Pacers, pre-formed panels were riveted together, creating a lightweight body on a welded floor assembly. Introduction was rapid, but teething troubles with the door mechanisms soon emerged, consequently the fleet was taken out of use and modified, with the Class 156 units taking over the duties. The conversion to Class 153 was carried out by Hunslet-Barclay at Kilmarnock between 1991 and 1992, with 70 vehicles being produced. The layout of the original non-cab ends was different from the original cab end, so the ends are noticeably distinct with the vehicles not being symmetrical. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePowered by a 285hp Cummins NT855-R5 Diesel, working through a Voith Hydraulic transmission, the maximum speed of a Class 153 is 75 mph, making it perfectly suited for small cross-country services. They are fitted with standard BSI auto-couplers, allowing them to work in tandem with other multiple units from the 14X and 15X Classes fitted with the same coupler, as well as newer units like the Class 170. In 2019\/2020, five former GWR 153s moved from Northern to Abellio ScotRail for use on the West Highland Line attached to Class 156s as 'active travel' carriages.

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. Passenger machines appeared in BR Blue Large Logo, InterCity and Regional Railways schemes to name just three, whilst freight engines received numerous varieties of Railfreight livery, Transrail, Mainline and Loadhaul. The Class continued to be widely used into the Privatisation-era, with examples operating for the likes of EWS, DRS, West Coast Railways and Colas, whilst others have received ‘retro’ heritage repaints.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44100941480171,"sku":"35-338","price":217.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/5292\/7467\/files\/35-338_34b7df2c-fec5-4ae3-aa06-3425e5881f94.jpg?v=1693943099"},{"product_id":"bachmann-35-353-class-20-0-d8133-br-green-small-yellow-panels","title":"Bachmann 35-353 - Class 20\/0 D8133 BR Green (Small Yellow Panels)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe all-new Bachmann Branchline Class 20\/0 broke cover in 2021, our first New Tooling project to be unveiled in the quarterly British Railway Announcements, and now we have more new models to share with you.

English Electric adapted an existing design based on an export model for a 1,000bhp diesel and 20 were built as a pilot scheme for assessment.\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 by 1962 a total of 127 had been built. Following assessment of all the Type 1 diesels, BRB placed a further order increasing the total to 228 by 1968 and the design became the BR standard for 1,000bhp diesel locomotives. With the introduction of TOPS the locomotives 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.

A total of 200 were built by English Electric between 1958 and 1962 and numbered in the series D200-D399. They were for a time the pride of the British Rail early diesel fleet. Despite their initial success, by the time the last examples were entering service they were already being replaced on some top-link duties by more powerful locomotives. As they were slowly relegated from express passenger uses, the type found work on secondary passenger and freight services where they worked for many years. The final locomotives ended regular service in 1985.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClass 40s operated in all areas of British Railways although Western and Southern Region workings were less common. After the early trials, the majority of Class 40s were based at depots in northern England; notably Longsight, Carlisle Kingmoor, and Wigan Springs Branch on the Midland Region, and Thornaby and Gateshead on the Eastern Region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heyday of the Class was in the early 1960s when they hauled top-link expresses on the West Coast Main Line and in East Anglia. However, the arrival of more powerful diesel locomotives, such as Class 47s and Class 55s, together with the electrification of the West Coast Main Line, meant that the fleet was gradually relegated to more mundane duties. In later life, the locomotives were mainly to be found hauling heavy freight and passenger trains in the north of England and Scotland. As additional new rolling stock was introduced, their passenger work decreased, partly due to their lack of electric train heating for newer passenger coaches. They lost their last front-line passenger duties - in Scotland - in 1980, and the last regular use on passenger trains was on the North Wales Coast Line between Holyhead, Crewe and Manchester, along with regular forays across the Pennines on Liverpool to York and Newcastle services.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout the early 1980s Class 40s were common performers on relief, day excursion (adex) and holidaymaker services along with deputising for electric traction, especially on Sundays between Manchester and Birmingham. This resulted in visits to many distant parts of the network. It would be fair to say that few routes in the London Midland and Eastern regions did not see Class 40-worked passenger services from time to time. Regular destinations included the seaside resorts of Scarborough, Skegness and Cleethorpes on the Eastern region, with Blackpool and Stranraer being regularly visited on the West Coast.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44357090345195,"sku":"32-491","price":202.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/5292\/7467\/files\/32-491.jpg?v=1700772929"},{"product_id":"efe-rail-e83032-class-144-2-car-dmu-144013-br-regional-railways","title":"EFE Rail E83032 - Class 144 2-Car DMU 144013 BR Regional Railways","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Class 144 Diesel Multiple Unit was part of British Rail’s Second Generation DMU fleet.

Ltd and Richard Hornsby \u0026amp; Sons Ltd on September 11, 1918 and their first narrow gauge diesel locomotive left the works on September 1, 1931.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the summer of 1932, production was moved to the larger Boultham Works, where the firm were eventually to become Britain's largest builder of diesel locomotives, with over 6,500 being built by the time production ceased in 1969. Almost as soon as the firm's 44\/48HP 0-4-0 locomotives were making an appearance, an upgraded, more powerful 0-4-0 was on the drawing board. Although many of the features of the 44\/48HP were retained for the new 80\/88HP, such as the chain drive and running gear, a new type of transmission was fitted, along with Westinghouse airbrakes. The new power unit, Ruston's own 4VPB, delivered 80BHP at 1000rpm and was later supplanted by Ruston's improved 4VPH that delivered 88BHP, but it required compressed air to be injected into the cylinders to be able to start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile running, an air reservoir was kept charged via the braking system, but after standing idle for a period the reservoir depleted and a secondary source was required to recharge the reservoir. This was achieved by fitting a small, secondary 1½HP 'donkey' engine, giving rise to a distinctive raised cover on the right hand side of the engine compartment that differed in size and placement depending on the make of engine used. Two basic weight options were offered for the 80\/88HP, of 17 tons and 20 tons, the difference being achieved by attaching weights to the outside frames, as well as to the front and rear buffer beams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1941, Ruston's locomotive classifications were changed, with the 80\/88HP becoming 88DS (with the narrow gauge versions being assigned the DSM and DSN suffix, and the broader gauges assigned DSW). Outward appearance changes to the 'standard' locomotives were mainly confined to the cab area, with examples from mid-1947 replacing the open cab with a fully enclosed cab that featured several ad-hoc styles of front window. The final 88DS, 518494, left Boultham Works on 29 November 1967, bringing to an end a production run of 271 locomotives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRuston 441934 was built new for Rowntree \u0026amp; Co.

In 1979, the York factory bought a new 0-6-0 locomotive and No.3 was transferred to Rowntree's Fawdon factory in Newcastle. Rail services at Fawdon came to a halt on 30 January 1987, with No. 3 being handed over to the North York Moors Railway for preservation. After some years being moved about it was purchased in 2013 by two members of the Derwent Valley Light Railway, Glynnis and Tony Frith. 441934 has now been named Ken Cooke, in honour of the former Rowntree's York employee, D-Day veteran and holder of France's highest military honour, the Legion dHonneur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hornby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44692232896747,"sku":"R3895","price":103.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/5292\/7467\/files\/R3895_1_88DS-Rowntree_RENDER.jpg?v=1709312763"},{"product_id":"bachmann-32-704-class-46-46045-br-blue-weathered","title":"Bachmann 32-704 - Class 46 46045 BR Blue (Weathered)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe popular Class 46 Diesel Locomotive returns to the Bachmann Branchline range with this OO scale model depicting No. 46045 in BR Blue livery after its headcode panels were removed and sealed beam headlights were fitted.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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":45207408476395,"sku":"32-704","price":176.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/5292\/7467\/files\/32-704.jpg?v=1714151592"},{"product_id":"bachmann-35-125a-class-20-3-20310-gresty-bridge-drs-blue","title":"Bachmann 35-125A - Class 20\/3 20310 'Gresty Bridge' DRS Blue","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Bachmann Branchline Class 20\/3 was first released in 2021, and since then we’ve improved this stunning model further by fitting marker lights at the cab ends, meaning that when operated prototypically as pairs nose-to-nose, a full complement of lighting can now be enjoyed at either end of the formation.

English Electric adapted an existing design based on an export model for a 1,000bhp diesel and 20 were built as a pilot scheme for assessment.  \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 by 1962 a total of 127 had been built. Following assessment of all the Type 1 diesels, BRB placed a further order increasing the total to 228 by 1968 and the design became the BR standard for 1,000bhp diesel locomotives. With the introduction of TOPS the locomotives 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 2,000bhp they were able to haul the heavier block freight trains. \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.

English Electric adapted an existing design based on an export model for a 1,000bhp diesel and 20 were built as a pilot scheme for assessment.  \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 by 1962 a total of 127 had been built. Following assessment of all the Type 1 diesels, BRB placed a further order increasing the total to 228 by 1968 and the design became the BR standard for 1,000bhp diesel locomotives. With the introduction of TOPS the locomotives 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 2,000bhp they were able to haul the heavier block freight trains. \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. A tribute to the design is that after 45 years the Class is still in service with DRS on mainline duties following refurbishment, the resulting locomotives being designated Class 20\/3s. At least 28 of the class are now preserved.\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\u003cdiv class=\"flexRow row\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flexRow row\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flexRow row\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flexRow row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"FlexBra\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"pbc_bc_b180_prodDet_ctl00_ctl61_dvBlock\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"pbc_bc_b180_prodDet_ctl00_ctl61_dvPanel\" class=\"panel panel-default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"pbc_bc_b180_prodDet_ctl00_ctl61_dvPanelHeading\" class=\"wbPanelPointer panel-heading\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#pbc_bc_b180_prodDet_ctl00_ctl61_dvProducts\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45333073854699,"sku":"35-125BSF","price":277.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/5292\/7467\/files\/35-125BSF.jpg?v=1715962326"},{"product_id":"bachmann-32-652a-class-44-44007-ingleborough-br-blue","title":"Bachmann 32-652A - Class 44 44007 'Ingleborough' BR Blue","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe popular Class 44 ‘Peak’ Diesel Locomotive returns to the Bachmann Branchline range with this OO scale model depicting No. 44007 ‘Ingleborough’.

The first locomotive entered service in November 1957 and the design was one of the Pilot Scheme locomotives ordered by British Railways to replace steam traction. The Class was originally allocated to the Eastern Region, but gradually became common on both the Western and London Midland regions too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally built with Mirrlees engines, these proved unsuccessful and in 1964 an English Electric 12SVT engine was fitted to one example for trails. The trials proved successful and between 1965 and 1969 the entire class was fitted with English Electric engines. Two TOPS classifications were used to distinguish between the two engine types, with the Mirrelees engine locomotives denoted Class 30s, whilst the English Electric examples became Class 31s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Class 31\/1s were the standard locomotives, distinguished from the first small batch of locos – the 31\/0s – which had Red Circle multiple-working control equipment, a non-standard feature that led to them being withdrawn relatively early in the late-1970s. The 31\/1s were fitted with Blue Star multiple-working equipment, as found on many other BR classes, and all had steam heating boilers from new, making them ideal for hauling passenger services. The Class 31\/1s could be found on a variety of secondary and relief passenger duties as well as parcels and freight traffic. Commonly used in East Anglia, with allocations at Stratford and March depots, they were also found throughout the Eastern Region of BR with Finsbury Park sporting a large allocation, along with the depots at Tinsley, Immingham and Thornaby. Examples were also allocated to Bristol Bath Road and Old Oak Common on the Western Region, where they could be found working passenger trains as far west as Barnstaple and Paignton. In the early 1980s, Healey Mills and Bescot on the Midland Region also gained an allocation as replacements for Class 25s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the 1970s some Class 31s were fitted with Electric Train Heating (ETH) and these were reclassified as 31\/4s to denote this feature. The 1980s would see BR undertake a programme of refurbishment for much of the fleet, this included the fitting of ETH to more locomotives, but refurbishment was not reserved exclusively for the 31\/4s, Class 31\/1s were also refurbished without receiving ETH equipment. During refurbishment bufferbeam cowlings were removed along with the bodyside band, headcode boxes were plated over and fitted with two marker lights, and any remaining disc headcodes were removed. Where steam heat boilers remained, these were removed and a concrete block added instead to maintain the weight balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs passenger work dried up, many of the 31\/4s were displaced and found themselves allocated to the departmental sector. In 1990, to reduce maintenance costs and prevent their ETH-fitted locos being borrowed for passenger work when extra traction was needed, the departmental sector isolated the ETH and removed the jumper cables from some of its 31\/4s, resulting in these locos being reclassified as 31\/5s. There were also two locomotives classified as 31\/6, these had through ETH wiring fitted allowing them to work double-headed with an ETH-fitted loco.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first withdrawal came in 1975 following accident damage, but most survived until the 1990s when EWS took on 153 examples from BR’s Transrail and Mainline freight divisions, although EWS spent little time running down its inherited fleet. Other operators however kept Class 31s active on the mainline with operations only now dwindling out. The Class has also been popular with the preservation movement, with more than 25 examples now preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45754210681067,"sku":"35-805","price":170.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/5292\/7467\/files\/35-805.jpg?v=1724499183"},{"product_id":"bachmann-35-805a-class-31-1-31293-br-blue","title":"Bachmann 35-805A - Class 31\/1 31293 BR Blue","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Brush Type Twos – Class 30s and Class 31s – are the next Diesel Locomotives to get the Bachmann Branchline treatment, with models of these long-lived prototypes joining the Branchline OO scale range for the first time.

The first locomotive entered service in November 1957 and the design was one of the Pilot Scheme locomotives ordered by British Railways to replace steam traction. The Class was originally allocated to the Eastern Region, but gradually became common on both the Western and London Midland regions too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally built with Mirrlees engines, these proved unsuccessful and in 1964 an English Electric 12SVT engine was fitted to one example for trails. The trials proved successful and between 1965 and 1969 the entire class was fitted with English Electric engines. Two TOPS classifications were used to distinguish between the two engine types, with the Mirrelees engine locomotives denoted Class 30s, whilst the English Electric examples became Class 31s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Class 31\/1s were the standard locomotives, distinguished from the first small batch of locos – the 31\/0s – which had Red Circle multiple-working control equipment, a non-standard feature that led to them being withdrawn relatively early in the late-1970s. The 31\/1s were fitted with Blue Star multiple-working equipment, as found on many other BR classes, and all had steam heating boilers from new, making them ideal for hauling passenger services. The Class 31\/1s could be found on a variety of secondary and relief passenger duties as well as parcels and freight traffic. Commonly used in East Anglia, with allocations at Stratford and March depots, they were also found throughout the Eastern Region of BR with Finsbury Park sporting a large allocation, along with the depots at Tinsley, Immingham and Thornaby. Examples were also allocated to Bristol Bath Road and Old Oak Common on the Western Region, where they could be found working passenger trains as far west as Barnstaple and Paignton. In the early 1980s, Healey Mills and Bescot on the Midland Region also gained an allocation as replacements for Class 25s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the 1970s some Class 31s were fitted with Electric Train Heating (ETH) and these were reclassified as 31\/4s to denote this feature. The 1980s would see BR undertake a programme of refurbishment for much of the fleet, this included the fitting of ETH to more locomotives, but refurbishment was not reserved exclusively for the 31\/4s, Class 31\/1s were also refurbished without receiving ETH equipment. During refurbishment bufferbeam cowlings were removed along with the bodyside band, headcode boxes were plated over and fitted with two marker lights, and any remaining disc headcodes were removed. Where steam heat boilers remained, these were removed and a concrete block added instead to maintain the weight balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs passenger work dried up, many of the 31\/4s were displaced and found themselves allocated to the departmental sector. In 1990, to reduce maintenance costs and prevent their ETH-fitted locos being borrowed for passenger work when extra traction was needed, the departmental sector isolated the ETH and removed the jumper cables from some of its 31\/4s, resulting in these locos being reclassified as 31\/5s. There were also two locomotives classified as 31\/6, these had through ETH wiring fitted allowing them to work double-headed with an ETH-fitted loco.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first withdrawal came in 1975 following accident damage, but most survived until the 1990s when EWS took on 153 examples from BR’s Transrail and Mainline freight divisions, although EWS spent little time running down its inherited fleet. Other operators however kept Class 31s active on the mainline with operations only now dwindling out. The Class has also been popular with the preservation movement, with more than 25 examples now preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45754234208491,"sku":"35-805A","price":170.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/5292\/7467\/files\/35-805A.jpg?v=1724499840"},{"product_id":"bachmann-32-341sf-class-25-2-d5282-br-two-tone-green-small-yellow-panels","title":"Bachmann 32-341SF - Class 25\/2 D5282 BR Two-Tone Green (Small Yellow Panels)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Class 25 Diesel Locomotive has long been a fixture of the Bachmann Branchline OO scale range, but this all-new model owes nothing to its predecessors.

A development of the Class 04 ‘Drewry’ shunter, construction was shared between British Railways' Swindon Works and Doncaster Works and initial allocations for the class covered all regions except Scotland. Shunting was the main employment, with their short wheelbase and light weight making them particularly useful in areas where weight restrictions or tight trackwork existed. Examples were also assigned to station pilot duties and due to the short wheelbase, it was common for them to be coupled to a ‘shunter’s truck’ or ‘runner wagon’ to ensure sufficient length for reliable operation of track circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeighing in at 30 Tons, some 18 Tons less than the Class 08 diesel shunter, the Class 03’s were fitted with Gardner engines and their distinctive jackshaft drive arrangement gave the locomotives a top speed of 28½ mph. Despite their usefulness, a downturn in shunting requirements meant that withdrawals began in 1968, although the last remained in service on mainland Britain until 1987. Two examples operated on the Isle of Wight, with lowered cab roofs to account for the restricted loading gauge, and these remained in traffic on the island until 1993. One of these Isle of Wight locos, No. 03179, was resurrected by West Anglia Great Northern in 1998 to shunt their Hornsey Depot. Subsequently operated by First Capital Connect, the loco was finally withdrawn in 2008 after which the locomotive was preserved bringing the total number of surviving examples to 56.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45818037108971,"sku":"31-364B","price":136.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/5292\/7467\/files\/31-364B.jpg?v=1726604307"},{"product_id":"bachmann-32-334-class-25-3-d7672-tamworth-castle-br-two-tone-green-full-yellow-ends","title":"Bachmann 32-334 - Class 25\/3 D7672 'Tamworth Castle' BR Two-Tone Green (Full Yellow Ends)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Class 25 Diesel Locomotive has long been a fixture of the Bachmann Branchline OO scale range, but this all-new model owes nothing to its predecessors.

The first locomotive entered service in November 1957 and the design was one of the Pilot Scheme locomotives ordered by British Railways to replace steam traction. The Class was originally allocated to the Eastern Region, but gradually became common on both the Western and London Midland regions too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally built with Mirrlees engines, these proved unsuccessful and in 1964 an English Electric 12SVT engine was fitted to one example for trails. The trials proved successful and between 1965 and 1969 the entire class was fitted with English Electric engines. Two TOPS classifications were used to distinguish between the two engine types, with the Mirrelees engine locomotives denoted Class 30s, whilst the English Electric examples became Class 31s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Class 31\/1s were the standard locomotives, distinguished from the first small batch of locos – the 31\/0s – which had Red Circle multiple-working control equipment, a non-standard feature that led to them being withdrawn relatively early in the late-1970s. The 31\/1s were fitted with Blue Star multiple-working equipment, as found on many other BR classes, and all had steam heating boilers from new, making them ideal for hauling passenger services. The Class 31\/1s could be found on a variety of secondary and relief passenger duties as well as parcels and freight traffic. Commonly used in East Anglia, with allocations at Stratford and March depots, they were also found throughout the Eastern Region of BR with Finsbury Park sporting a large allocation, along with the depots at Tinsley, Immingham and Thornaby. Examples were also allocated to Bristol Bath Road and Old Oak Common on the Western Region, where they could be found working passenger trains as far west as Barnstaple and Paignton. In the early 1980s, Healey Mills and Bescot on the Midland Region also gained an allocation as replacements for Class 25s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the 1970s some Class 31s were fitted with Electric Train Heating (ETH) and these were reclassified as 31\/4s to denote this feature. The 1980s would see BR undertake a programme of refurbishment for much of the fleet, this included the fitting of ETH to more locomotives, but refurbishment was not reserved exclusively for the 31\/4s, Class 31\/1s were also refurbished without receiving ETH equipment. During refurbishment bufferbeam cowlings were removed along with the bodyside band, headcode boxes were plated over and fitted with two marker lights, and any remaining disc headcodes were removed. Where steam heat boilers remained, these were removed and a concrete block added instead to maintain the weight balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs passenger work dried up, many of the 31\/4s were displaced and found themselves allocated to the departmental sector. In 1990, to reduce maintenance costs and prevent their ETH-fitted locos being borrowed for passenger work when extra traction was needed, the departmental sector isolated the ETH and removed the jumper cables from some of its 31\/4s, resulting in these locos being reclassified as 31\/5s. There were also two locomotives classified as 31\/6, these had through ETH wiring fitted allowing them to work double-headed with an ETH-fitted loco.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first withdrawal came in 1975 following accident damage, but most survived until the 1990s when EWS took on 153 examples from BR’s Transrail and Mainline freight divisions, although EWS spent little time running down its inherited fleet. Other operators however kept Class 31s active on the mainline with operations only now dwindling out. The Class has also been popular with the preservation movement, with more than 25 examples now preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45818069385451,"sku":"35-823","price":170.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/5292\/7467\/files\/35-823.jpg?v=1726604905"},{"product_id":"bachmann-35-823a-class-31-1-refurbished-31304-br-railfreight-petroleum-sector-copy","title":"Bachmann 35-823A - Class 31\/1 Refurbished 31304 BR Railfreight Petroleum Sector (Copy)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Brush Type Twos – Class 30s and Class 31s – are the next Diesel Locomotives to get the Bachmann Branchline treatment, with models of these long-lived prototypes joining the Branchline OO scale range for the first time.

The first locomotive entered service in November 1957 and the design was one of the Pilot Scheme locomotives ordered by British Railways to replace steam traction. The Class was originally allocated to the Eastern Region, but gradually became common on both the Western and London Midland regions too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally built with Mirrlees engines, these proved unsuccessful and in 1964 an English Electric 12SVT engine was fitted to one example for trails. The trials proved successful and between 1965 and 1969 the entire class was fitted with English Electric engines. Two TOPS classifications were used to distinguish between the two engine types, with the Mirrelees engine locomotives denoted Class 30s, whilst the English Electric examples became Class 31s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Class 31\/1s were the standard locomotives, distinguished from the first small batch of locos – the 31\/0s – which had Red Circle multiple-working control equipment, a non-standard feature that led to them being withdrawn relatively early in the late-1970s. The 31\/1s were fitted with Blue Star multiple-working equipment, as found on many other BR classes, and all had steam heating boilers from new, making them ideal for hauling passenger services. The Class 31\/1s could be found on a variety of secondary and relief passenger duties as well as parcels and freight traffic. Commonly used in East Anglia, with allocations at Stratford and March depots, they were also found throughout the Eastern Region of BR with Finsbury Park sporting a large allocation, along with the depots at Tinsley, Immingham and Thornaby. Examples were also allocated to Bristol Bath Road and Old Oak Common on the Western Region, where they could be found working passenger trains as far west as Barnstaple and Paignton. In the early 1980s, Healey Mills and Bescot on the Midland Region also gained an allocation as replacements for Class 25s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the 1970s some Class 31s were fitted with Electric Train Heating (ETH) and these were reclassified as 31\/4s to denote this feature. The 1980s would see BR undertake a programme of refurbishment for much of the fleet, this included the fitting of ETH to more locomotives, but refurbishment was not reserved exclusively for the 31\/4s, Class 31\/1s were also refurbished without receiving ETH equipment. During refurbishment bufferbeam cowlings were removed along with the bodyside band, headcode boxes were plated over and fitted with two marker lights, and any remaining disc headcodes were removed. Where steam heat boilers remained, these were removed and a concrete block added instead to maintain the weight balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs passenger work dried up, many of the 31\/4s were displaced and found themselves allocated to the departmental sector. In 1990, to reduce maintenance costs and prevent their ETH-fitted locos being borrowed for passenger work when extra traction was needed, the departmental sector isolated the ETH and removed the jumper cables from some of its 31\/4s, resulting in these locos being reclassified as 31\/5s. There were also two locomotives classified as 31\/6, these had through ETH wiring fitted allowing them to work double-headed with an ETH-fitted loco.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first withdrawal came in 1975 following accident damage, but most survived until the 1990s when EWS took on 153 examples from BR’s Transrail and Mainline freight divisions, although EWS spent little time running down its inherited fleet. Other operators however kept Class 31s active on the mainline with operations only now dwindling out. The Class has also been popular with the preservation movement, with more than 25 examples now preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45818090553579,"sku":"35-823A","price":170.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/5292\/7467\/files\/35-823A.jpg?v=1726605168"},{"product_id":"bachmann-35-825sf-class-31-4-refurbished-31435-br-blue","title":"Bachmann 35-825SF - Class 31\/4 Refurbished 31435 BR Blue","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Brush Type Twos – Class 30s and Class 31s – are the next Diesel Locomotives to get the Bachmann Branchline treatment, with models of these long-lived prototypes joining the Branchline OO scale range for the first time.

The first locomotive entered service in November 1957 and the design was one of the Pilot Scheme locomotives ordered by British Railways to replace steam traction. The Class was originally allocated to the Eastern Region, but gradually became common on both the Western and London Midland regions too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally built with Mirrlees engines, these proved unsuccessful and in 1964 an English Electric 12SVT engine was fitted to one example for trails. The trials proved successful and between 1965 and 1969 the entire class was fitted with English Electric engines. Two TOPS classifications were used to distinguish between the two engine types, with the Mirrelees engine locomotives denoted Class 30s, whilst the English Electric examples became Class 31s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Class 31\/1s were the standard locomotives, distinguished from the first small batch of locos – the 31\/0s – which had Red Circle multiple-working control equipment, a non-standard feature that led to them being withdrawn relatively early in the late-1970s. The 31\/1s were fitted with Blue Star multiple-working equipment, as found on many other BR classes, and all had steam heating boilers from new, making them ideal for hauling passenger services. The Class 31\/1s could be found on a variety of secondary and relief passenger duties as well as parcels and freight traffic. Commonly used in East Anglia, with allocations at Stratford and March depots, they were also found throughout the Eastern Region of BR with Finsbury Park sporting a large allocation, along with the depots at Tinsley, Immingham and Thornaby. Examples were also allocated to Bristol Bath Road and Old Oak Common on the Western Region, where they could be found working passenger trains as far west as Barnstaple and Paignton. In the early 1980s, Healey Mills and Bescot on the Midland Region also gained an allocation as replacements for Class 25s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the 1970s some Class 31s were fitted with Electric Train Heating (ETH) and these were reclassified as 31\/4s to denote this feature. The 1980s would see BR undertake a programme of refurbishment for much of the fleet, this included the fitting of ETH to more locomotives, but refurbishment was not reserved exclusively for the 31\/4s, Class 31\/1s were also refurbished without receiving ETH equipment. During refurbishment bufferbeam cowlings were removed along with the bodyside band, headcode boxes were plated over and fitted with two marker lights, and any remaining disc headcodes were removed. Where steam heat boilers remained, these were removed and a concrete block added instead to maintain the weight balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs passenger work dried up, many of the 31\/4s were displaced and found themselves allocated to the departmental sector. In 1990, to reduce maintenance costs and prevent their ETH-fitted locos being borrowed for passenger work when extra traction was needed, the departmental sector isolated the ETH and removed the jumper cables from some of its 31\/4s, resulting in these locos being reclassified as 31\/5s. There were also two locomotives classified as 31\/6, these had through ETH wiring fitted allowing them to work double-headed with an ETH-fitted loco.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first withdrawal came in 1975 following accident damage, but most survived until the 1990s when EWS took on 153 examples from BR’s Transrail and Mainline freight divisions, although EWS spent little time running down its inherited fleet. Other operators however kept Class 31s active on the mainline with operations only now dwindling out. The Class has also been popular with the preservation movement, with more than 25 examples now preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45818223165675,"sku":"35-825SF","price":263.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/5292\/7467\/files\/35-825SF.jpg?v=1726605764"},{"product_id":"bachmann-35-825sfx-class-31-4-refurbished-31435-br-blue","title":"Bachmann 35-825SFX - Class 31\/4 Refurbished 31435 BR Blue","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Brush Type Twos – Class 30s and Class 31s – are the next Diesel Locomotives to get the Bachmann Branchline treatment, with models of these long-lived prototypes joining the Branchline OO scale range for the first time.

The first locomotive entered service in November 1957 and the design was one of the Pilot Scheme locomotives ordered by British Railways to replace steam traction. The Class was originally allocated to the Eastern Region, but gradually became common on both the Western and London Midland regions too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally built with Mirrlees engines, these proved unsuccessful and in 1964 an English Electric 12SVT engine was fitted to one example for trails. The trials proved successful and between 1965 and 1969 the entire class was fitted with English Electric engines. Two TOPS classifications were used to distinguish between the two engine types, with the Mirrelees engine locomotives denoted Class 30s, whilst the English Electric examples became Class 31s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Class 31\/1s were the standard locomotives, distinguished from the first small batch of locos – the 31\/0s – which had Red Circle multiple-working control equipment, a non-standard feature that led to them being withdrawn relatively early in the late-1970s. The 31\/1s were fitted with Blue Star multiple-working equipment, as found on many other BR classes, and all had steam heating boilers from new, making them ideal for hauling passenger services. The Class 31\/1s could be found on a variety of secondary and relief passenger duties as well as parcels and freight traffic. Commonly used in East Anglia, with allocations at Stratford and March depots, they were also found throughout the Eastern Region of BR with Finsbury Park sporting a large allocation, along with the depots at Tinsley, Immingham and Thornaby. Examples were also allocated to Bristol Bath Road and Old Oak Common on the Western Region, where they could be found working passenger trains as far west as Barnstaple and Paignton. In the early 1980s, Healey Mills and Bescot on the Midland Region also gained an allocation as replacements for Class 25s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the 1970s some Class 31s were fitted with Electric Train Heating (ETH) and these were reclassified as 31\/4s to denote this feature. The 1980s would see BR undertake a programme of refurbishment for much of the fleet, this included the fitting of ETH to more locomotives, but refurbishment was not reserved exclusively for the 31\/4s, Class 31\/1s were also refurbished without receiving ETH equipment. During refurbishment bufferbeam cowlings were removed along with the bodyside band, headcode boxes were plated over and fitted with two marker lights, and any remaining disc headcodes were removed. Where steam heat boilers remained, these were removed and a concrete block added instead to maintain the weight balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs passenger work dried up, many of the 31\/4s were displaced and found themselves allocated to the departmental sector. In 1990, to reduce maintenance costs and prevent their ETH-fitted locos being borrowed for passenger work when extra traction was needed, the departmental sector isolated the ETH and removed the jumper cables from some of its 31\/4s, resulting in these locos being reclassified as 31\/5s. There were also two locomotives classified as 31\/6, these had through ETH wiring fitted allowing them to work double-headed with an ETH-fitted loco.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first withdrawal came in 1975 following accident damage, but most survived until the 1990s when EWS took on 153 examples from BR’s Transrail and Mainline freight divisions, although EWS spent little time running down its inherited fleet. Other operators however kept Class 31s active on the mainline with operations only now dwindling out. The Class has also been popular with the preservation movement, with more than 25 examples now preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45818235617515,"sku":"35-825SFX","price":306.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/5292\/7467\/files\/35-825SFX.jpg?v=1726606058"},{"product_id":"bachmann-35-503-class-117-3-car-dmu-r334-br-green-small-yellow-panels","title":"Bachmann 35-503 - Class 117 3-Car DMU R334 BR Green (Small Yellow Panels)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Class 117 3-Car Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) is Bachmann Branchline’s flagship First Generation multiple unit, equalled only by its single-car Class 121 stablemate. Employing cutting edge technology, these high fidelity models boast a wealth of detail and era-specific options to depict specific units at various points during their working careers which, for some, extended to almost 40 years in service. Returning to the Branchline range in a selection of new liveries, these iconic suburban DMUs will make a fine addition to any model railway set in the steam-diesel transition period onwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComprising a Driving Motor Brake Second (DMBS), Trailer Composite with Lavatory (TCL) and a Driving Motor Second (DMS), each of the three vehicles is modelled true to prototype, adorned with separate detail components whilst underneath the engine, drive gear and auxiliary equipment is all depicted faithfully. It may be hard to believe, but within these components and integrated into the underframe is hidden the drive mechanism, on the DMBS at least, which is totally invisible with no intrusion into the interior of the model. Talking of the interior and the fine detail extends inside the model too, complete with prototypical decoration.

In total, 39 3-car sets were built along with three pairs of spare driving vehicles, and all were deployed initially to BR’s Western Region, working the suburban routes out of London Paddington with the units largely based at Reading and Southall depots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough not originally fitted, between 1965 and 1972 gangways were added to all vehicles in the class. As other first generations units were withdrawn, the 117s became more widespread with some moving from the Western Region to Birmingham and Scotland, prior to the delivery of new units to replace them. Selected for life-extending refurbishment during the 1970s, the entire fleet was refurbished with new interiors and returned to traffic. The following decade saw units repainted into Regional Railways livery as Sectorisation began, and later Network SouthEast livery was applied to those working around London and in the south east.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithdrawals began as new, second generation units were introduced on their routes and the final bastions for the 117s were Haymarket depot in Scotland and Bletchley in England.

The first locomotive entered service in November 1957 and the design was one of the Pilot Scheme locomotives ordered by British Railways to replace steam traction. The Class was originally allocated to the Eastern Region, but gradually became common on both the Western and London Midland regions too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally built with Mirrlees engines, these proved unsuccessful and in 1964 an English Electric 12SVT engine was fitted to one example for trails. The trials proved successful and between 1965 and 1969 the entire class was fitted with English Electric engines. Two TOPS classifications were used to distinguish between the two engine types, with the Mirrelees engine locomotives denoted Class 30s, whilst the English Electric examples became Class 31s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Class 31\/1s were the standard locomotives, distinguished from the first small batch of locos – the 31\/0s – which had Red Circle multiple-working control equipment, a non-standard feature that led to them being withdrawn relatively early in the late-1970s. The 31\/1s were fitted with Blue Star multiple-working equipment, as found on many other BR classes, and all had steam heating boilers from new, making them ideal for hauling passenger services. The Class 31\/1s could be found on a variety of secondary and relief passenger duties as well as parcels and freight traffic. Commonly used in East Anglia, with allocations at Stratford and March depots, they were also found throughout the Eastern Region of BR with Finsbury Park sporting a large allocation, along with the depots at Tinsley, Immingham and Thornaby. Examples were also allocated to Bristol Bath Road and Old Oak Common on the Western Region, where they could be found working passenger trains as far west as Barnstaple and Paignton. In the early 1980s, Healey Mills and Bescot on the Midland Region also gained an allocation as replacements for Class 25s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the 1970s some Class 31s were fitted with Electric Train Heating (ETH) and these were reclassified as 31\/4s to denote this feature. The 1980s would see BR undertake a programme of refurbishment for much of the fleet, this included the fitting of ETH to more locomotives, but refurbishment was not reserved exclusively for the 31\/4s, Class 31\/1s were also refurbished without receiving ETH equipment. During refurbishment bufferbeam cowlings were removed along with the bodyside band, headcode boxes were plated over and fitted with two marker lights, and any remaining disc headcodes were removed. Where steam heat boilers remained, these were removed and a concrete block added instead to maintain the weight balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs passenger work dried up, many of the 31\/4s were displaced and found themselves allocated to the departmental sector. In 1990, to reduce maintenance costs and prevent their ETH-fitted locos being borrowed for passenger work when extra traction was needed, the departmental sector isolated the ETH and removed the jumper cables from some of its 31\/4s, resulting in these locos being reclassified as 31\/5s. There were also two locomotives classified as 31\/6, these had through ETH wiring fitted allowing them to work double-headed with an ETH-fitted loco.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first withdrawal came in 1975 following accident damage, but most survived until the 1990s when EWS took on 153 examples from BR’s Transrail and Mainline freight divisions, although EWS spent little time running down its inherited fleet. Other operators however kept Class 31s active on the mainline with operations only now dwindling out. The Class has also been popular with the preservation movement, with more than 25 examples now preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45846882418923,"sku":"35-801","price":170.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/5292\/7467\/files\/35-801.jpg?v=1727448797"},{"product_id":"bachmann-32-343asf-class-25-1-d5179-br-green-small-yellow-panels","title":"Bachmann 32-343ASF - Class 25\/1 D5179 BR Green (Small Yellow Panels)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Class 25 Diesel Locomotive has long been a fixture of the Bachmann Branchline OO scale range, but this all-new model owes nothing to its predecessors.

The first locomotive entered service in November 1957 and the design was one of the Pilot Scheme locomotives ordered by British Railways to replace steam traction. The Class was originally allocated to the Eastern Region, but gradually became common on both the Western and London Midland regions too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally built with Mirrlees engines, these proved unsuccessful and in 1964 an English Electric 12SVT engine was fitted to one example for trails. The trials proved successful and between 1965 and 1969 the entire class was fitted with English Electric engines. Two TOPS classifications were used to distinguish between the two engine types, with the Mirrelees engine locomotives denoted Class 30s, whilst the English Electric examples became Class 31s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Class 31\/1s were the standard locomotives, distinguished from the first small batch of locos – the 31\/0s – which had Red Circle multiple-working control equipment, a non-standard feature that led to them being withdrawn relatively early in the late-1970s. The 31\/1s were fitted with Blue Star multiple-working equipment, as found on many other BR classes, and all had steam heating boilers from new, making them ideal for hauling passenger services. The Class 31\/1s could be found on a variety of secondary and relief passenger duties as well as parcels and freight traffic. Commonly used in East Anglia, with allocations at Stratford and March depots, they were also found throughout the Eastern Region of BR with Finsbury Park sporting a large allocation, along with the depots at Tinsley, Immingham and Thornaby. Examples were also allocated to Bristol Bath Road and Old Oak Common on the Western Region, where they could be found working passenger trains as far west as Barnstaple and Paignton. In the early 1980s, Healey Mills and Bescot on the Midland Region also gained an allocation as replacements for Class 25s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the 1970s some Class 31s were fitted with Electric Train Heating (ETH) and these were reclassified as 31\/4s to denote this feature. The 1980s would see BR undertake a programme of refurbishment for much of the fleet, this included the fitting of ETH to more locomotives, but refurbishment was not reserved exclusively for the 31\/4s, Class 31\/1s were also refurbished without receiving ETH equipment. During refurbishment bufferbeam cowlings were removed along with the bodyside band, headcode boxes were plated over and fitted with two marker lights, and any remaining disc headcodes were removed. Where steam heat boilers remained, these were removed and a concrete block added instead to maintain the weight balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs passenger work dried up, many of the 31\/4s were displaced and found themselves allocated to the departmental sector. In 1990, to reduce maintenance costs and prevent their ETH-fitted locos being borrowed for passenger work when extra traction was needed, the departmental sector isolated the ETH and removed the jumper cables from some of its 31\/4s, resulting in these locos being reclassified as 31\/5s. There were also two locomotives classified as 31\/6, these had through ETH wiring fitted allowing them to work double-headed with an ETH-fitted loco.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first withdrawal came in 1975 following accident damage, but most survived until the 1990s when EWS took on 153 examples from BR’s Transrail and Mainline freight divisions, although EWS spent little time running down its inherited fleet. Other operators however kept Class 31s active on the mainline with operations only now dwindling out. The Class has also been popular with the preservation movement, with more than 25 examples now preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45877656420587,"sku":"35-821","price":170.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/5292\/7467\/files\/35-821.jpg?v=1728506792"},{"product_id":"hornby-r30382-br-class-47-co-co-doncaster-enterprice-no-47522","title":"Hornby R30382 - BR Class 47 Co-Co 'Doncaster Enterprice' No. 47522","description":"\u003cp\u003eBuilt between 1962 and 1968, the Class 47 Co-Co Diesel-Electric locomotive was once the most numerous class of mainline diesel in Britain with 512 examples. Brush Traction constructed 310 locomotives in Loughborough and the remaining 202 at Crewe. The locomotives were used for passenger and freight operations beginning in 1962 in the BR Green livery, before being repainted in the BR Blue colour scheme. Later diversification saw them painted in all manner of liveries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrong performers, these locomotives were among some of the largest to be employed by British Rail. The first five withdrawals were all due to accident damage with the first planned decommissioning taking place in February 1986.

On 3rd October 1987, 47522 was unveiled in a unique LNER-like apple green livery and was named ‘Doncaster Enterprise’ at Doncaster Works by Councillor Gladys Ambler, Mayor of Doncaster. After this, the locomotive attained ‘celebrity’ status. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn January 1990, the locomotive was seriously damaged after a crash occurred near Dover. While at Doncaster Works for repairs, it appears that by 20th May 1990, there was a missing dot above the 'i' on the ‘Doncaster Enterprise’ nameplate. The stuck-on dot had most likely fallen off. The No. 2 cab was replaced with the cab from No. 47645. Once repairs were complete, the locomotive was outshopped in a BR Parcels red and grey livery.
