The London and North Eastern Railway initially approached Napiers and although they created a few designs the project was sold to Scammell Lorries where the Mechanical Horse was designed by O.D North. One of the unique features was that it automatically coupled and uncoupled with trailers. The Mechanical Horse was a large 3-wheeler with a steel frame with a wooden cab attached to it and came in two sizes with either a 3 ton or 6 ton load capacity. Power came from Scammell's own 1,125cc side valve petrol engine in the 3-ton model and the 2,043cc engine in the 6 ton model. The unique thing about the Mechanical Horse was that its single front wheel could turn 360 degrees and so produced a highly manoeuvrable vehicle. The mechanical horse remained largely unchanged until the late 1940's when the tractor section was redesigned creating the Scammell Scarab. The Scarab's cab was more rounded and made from Steel and with the engine being mounted lower than in the Mechanical Horse the Scarab was much more stable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model is delivered on a black base with an attached clear jewel case ready to be displayed.

Hawksworth was the last Chief Mechanical Engineer of the Great Western Railway (GWR), succeeding Charles Collett in 1941, and his coach designs were the final evolution of passenger stock built by the GWR, being designed at the end of World War Two and entering traffic from 1947 onwards. With the Nationalisation of Britain’s railways in 1948, construction continued under BR and the final examples were outshopped during the 1950s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntended for use on express and secondary passenger services, the coaches featured distinctive domed roof-ends and continued to feature the bow-ended profile introduced by Collett in earlier coach designs. Post-war material shortages meant that Hawksworth’s designs were not as lavishly appointed as earlier GWR types, yet still their appearance was maybe not as sleek and modern as the post-war coach designs of competing companies like the LNER (Thompson) and SR (Bulleid). Used extensively on the Western Region until the mid-1960s, a small number survived in service to receive British Rail’s corporate Blue \u0026amp; Grey colour scheme whilst others were repurposed for departmental use. Some Full Brakes were used well into the BR corporate era, as was often the case with non-passenger carrying coaching stock (NPCCS).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese N scale models of the GWR Hawksworth Coaches are one of the many jewels in the Graham Farish Rolling Stock fleet. Essential for any Western Region modeller, every coach is a faithful replica of the prototype and there are four vehicle types to choose from, allowing authentic trains to be created with ease.

Below the solebar the vacuum and steam heat pipework is present, along with battery boxes, dynamo and brake equipment – all fitted around the truss rod frames. The bogies are fitted with metal wheelsets, whilst the standard N scale coupling is attached via a NEM coupling pocket to the close coupling mechanism that is fitted to the carriage floor, which operates in tandem with the bogie. Inside each model is an interior featuring the prototypical layout of compartments and seating, whilst the icing on the cake is the livery application, using authentic colours, logos and fonts making every model a masterpiece in miniature.\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\u003eGraham Farish N Scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePristine BR Maroon livery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRunning No. W318W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccessory Pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNEM Coupling Pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClose Coupling Mechanism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength 138mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Graham Farish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45754474725611,"sku":"374-586A","price":41.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/5292\/7467\/files\/374-586A.jpg?v=1724511552"},{"product_id":"bachmann-37-751e-gwr-12t-fruit-van-gwr-grey","title":"Bachmann 37-751E - GWR 12T Fruit Van GWR Grey","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"gm-col-50\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gm-col-50\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gm-col-50\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gm-col-50\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gm-col-50\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gm-col-50\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gm-col-50\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gm-col-50\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gm-col-50\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gm-col-50\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gm-col-50\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gm-col-50\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gm-col-50\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gm-col-50\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gm-col-50\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gm-col-50\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBritain’s railways were developed primarily to move freight and the early railway companies employed vans of many different designs to transport goods and merchandise that required covered transport.
