To haul these services a top link locomotives were required and at first, A1 and A3 Class ‘Pacifics’ were employed along with the LNER’s K3 2-6-0s, although the K3s were not suited to the high speeds required for the ‘Green Arrow’ services. With the Pacifics required for passenger work, in 1935 the LNER announced its intention to develop a new locomotive for long-distance, mixed traffic work and the following year the first of Sir Nigel Gresley’s V2 Class entered traffic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing the convention of naming a locomotive after the named train it was principally employed on, the first V2 was named ‘Green Arrow’. Another convention not followed by the V2 however was that of the wheel arrangement, with the V2 using the 2-6-2 ‘Prairie’ wheel arrangement which in Great Britian was generally the preserve of tank locomotives, with other ‘Big Four’ railway companies generally using the 4-6-0 formation for their larger mixed traffic machines. The 2-6-2 wheel arrangement accommodated a wide firebox, the same type used so successfully on Gresley’s Pacifics and P1\/P2 ‘Mikados’, and whilst visually the V2s had many similarities to the Pacifics, their similarities to the P2s were in many ways their crowning features, including 6ft 2in driving wheels, v-fronted cab, and monobloc cylinder castings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour more locomotives emerged soon after ‘Green Arrow’, and such was their success that a further 179 were quickly ordered. Despite the outbreak of the Second World War, construction continued of what was to become an important contributor to the war effort. Whilst services such as the ‘Green Arrow’ goods trains were suspended in wartime, the V2s were employed plentifully moving goods, people, mail, parcels, troops and munitions far and wide. Their performances on lengthened passenger trains were notable, often hauling trains much heavier than what the class had been designed to haul, and at speed too. Such was their contribution to the British transport network between 1939 and 1945 that the V2s later became known to many as ‘the engines that won the war’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce peacetime returned, the V2s went back to hauling fast freight and passenger services across much of the LNER network. Many were deployed to the former Great Central routes and in Scotland and in both areas, the Class would become a stalwart until the final days of steam. Notable modifications made to the V2s during their operational years include the replacement of the monobloc casting with three separate cylinders – 71 engines were so treated between 1956 and the final withdrawals in 1966. Several types of chimneys were experimented with; one locomotive received a lipless single chimney and three others trialled separate versions including a double blast pipe borrowed from the LMS ‘Royal Scot’ 4-6-0s. Ultimately, the Kylchap exhaust was trialled and proved successful, so much so that it was recommended the entire class should be fitted, however the onset of dieselisation meant only five locomotives received the new exhaust and associated double chimney.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithdrawals began in 1962 and in December 1966 the final V2 was taken out of service. Class pioneer ‘Green Arrow’ was one of the first locomotives to be withdrawn, however its future had already been secured as it was selected for preservation as part of the national collection and following withdrawal, ‘Green Arrow’ was restored at Doncaster Works. Returning to the mainline during the 1970s, ‘Green Arrow’ went on to be a popular performer on both the national network and heritage railways until 2008 when she was withdrawn from service with a boiler failure. Notwithstanding the work required to repair the boiler, it is a crack in the monobloc cylinder casting which is the greatest challenge that would need to be overcome if the locomotive were to be restored and returned to steam once again. Today, ‘Green Arrow’ can be found on display in the Danum Gallery, Library and Museum in its birthplace, Doncaster, where it is on loan from the National Railway Museum.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Graham Farish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54514279711105,"sku":"372-611SF","price":281.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/5292\/7467\/files\/372-611SF.jpg?v=1753374911"},{"product_id":"graham-farish-372-613-lner-v2-60845-br-lined-black-early-emblem","title":"Graham Farish 372-612 - LNER V2 60845 BR Lined Black (Early Emblem)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSome twenty years since the V2 was first produced in N scale by Graham Farish, this all-new model of the LNER Mixed Traffic icon is made to standards not even dreamt of twenty years ago.

To haul these services a top link locomotives were required and at first, A1 and A3 Class ‘Pacifics’ were employed along with the LNER’s K3 2-6-0s, although the K3s were not suited to the high speeds required for the ‘Green Arrow’ services. With the Pacifics required for passenger work, in 1935 the LNER announced its intention to develop a new locomotive for long-distance, mixed traffic work and the following year the first of Sir Nigel Gresley’s V2 Class entered traffic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing the convention of naming a locomotive after the named train it was principally employed on, the first V2 was named ‘Green Arrow’. Another convention not followed by the V2 however was that of the wheel arrangement, with the V2 using the 2-6-2 ‘Prairie’ wheel arrangement which in Great Britian was generally the preserve of tank locomotives, with other ‘Big Four’ railway companies generally using the 4-6-0 formation for their larger mixed traffic machines. The 2-6-2 wheel arrangement accommodated a wide firebox, the same type used so successfully on Gresley’s Pacifics and P1\/P2 ‘Mikados’, and whilst visually the V2s had many similarities to the Pacifics, their similarities to the P2s were in many ways their crowning features, including 6ft 2in driving wheels, v-fronted cab, and monobloc cylinder castings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour more locomotives emerged soon after ‘Green Arrow’, and such was their success that a further 179 were quickly ordered. Despite the outbreak of the Second World War, construction continued of what was to become an important contributor to the war effort. Whilst services such as the ‘Green Arrow’ goods trains were suspended in wartime, the V2s were employed plentifully moving goods, people, mail, parcels, troops and munitions far and wide. Their performances on lengthened passenger trains were notable, often hauling trains much heavier than what the class had been designed to haul, and at speed too. Such was their contribution to the British transport network between 1939 and 1945 that the V2s later became known to many as ‘the engines that won the war’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce peacetime returned, the V2s went back to hauling fast freight and passenger services across much of the LNER network. Many were deployed to the former Great Central routes and in Scotland and in both areas, the Class would become a stalwart until the final days of steam. Notable modifications made to the V2s during their operational years include the replacement of the monobloc casting with three separate cylinders – 71 engines were so treated between 1956 and the final withdrawals in 1966. Several types of chimneys were experimented with; one locomotive received a lipless single chimney and three others trialled separate versions including a double blast pipe borrowed from the LMS ‘Royal Scot’ 4-6-0s. Ultimately, the Kylchap exhaust was trialled and proved successful, so much so that it was recommended the entire class should be fitted, however the onset of dieselisation meant only five locomotives received the new exhaust and associated double chimney.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithdrawals began in 1962 and in December 1966 the final V2 was taken out of service. Class pioneer ‘Green Arrow’ was one of the first locomotives to be withdrawn, however its future had already been secured as it was selected for preservation as part of the national collection and following withdrawal, ‘Green Arrow’ was restored at Doncaster Works. Returning to the mainline during the 1970s, ‘Green Arrow’ went on to be a popular performer on both the national network and heritage railways until 2008 when she was withdrawn from service with a boiler failure. Notwithstanding the work required to repair the boiler, it is a crack in the monobloc cylinder casting which is the greatest challenge that would need to be overcome if the locomotive were to be restored and returned to steam once again. Today, ‘Green Arrow’ can be found on display in the Danum Gallery, Library and Museum in its birthplace, Doncaster, where it is on loan from the National Railway Museum.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Graham Farish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54522558022017,"sku":"372-612","price":187.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/5292\/7467\/files\/372-612.jpg?v=1753526130"},{"product_id":"pre-order-bachmann-31-065-ner-e-tank-495-ner-lined-green-maroon","title":"Bachmann 31-065 - NER E Tank 495 NER Lined Green \u0026 Maroon","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe North Eastern Railway E Class 0-6-0T, later the LNER J71, was the forerunner to the E1 (LNER J72) and whilst models of the E1 have famously been made by Bachmann and its predecessor Mainline Railways for almost 50 years, the NER E Class has never been produced in OO Scale, until now!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing inspiration from the all-new Branchline E1 model that was launched to great acclaim just a few years ago, the new E Class employs a wealth of new tooling to accurately depict the NER’s original standard 0-6-0 tank locomotive.

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. Early examples had clack valves feeding the boiler with Ramsbottom safety valves and a bell whistle.

All 120 locomotives passed into LNER ownership upon Grouping in 1923, becoming J71s, and remained in similar roles to those the NER had previously assigned them. By 1930 however, the E1s (now classified as J72s by the LNER) had started to replace the older J71s and by the time of Nationalisation in 1948, the class had been depleted by almost a third, leaving 81 examples in traffic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fleet that British Railways (BR) inherited in 1948 remained largely intact to start with, but by the 1950s they were being replaced by new 350hp Diesel Shunters (later BR Class 08) and by 1961 the final J71, No. 68233, had been withdrawn after a service life of 74 years.

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. Early examples had clack valves feeding the boiler with Ramsbottom safety valves and a bell whistle. Later, Ross Pop safety valves and a tubular whistle were fitted and the clack valves were removed, bringing commonality between the E and E1 types. Metal bufferbeams were employed as built, but later many were fitted with wooden planks sandwiched between two metal sheets, as found on the later E1 engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe E Class tanks were found to be suitable workhorses for the NER’s sprawling network across the North East, particularly at coastal ports, freight depots and wharves where tracks could feature tight curves and weight restrictions were often in place.

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. Early examples had clack valves feeding the boiler with Ramsbottom safety valves and a bell whistle. Later, Ross Pop safety valves and a tubular whistle were fitted and the clack valves were removed, bringing commonality between the E and E1 types. Metal bufferbeams were employed as built, but later many were fitted with wooden planks sandwiched between two metal sheets, as found on the later E1 engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe E Class tanks were found to be suitable workhorses for the NER’s sprawling network across the North East, particularly at coastal ports, freight depots and wharves where tracks could feature tight curves and weight restrictions were often in place. They were also suited to station pilot duties and local trip working, as well as allocations at the NER’s Darlington Works and Shildon workshops where they handled internal movements. All 120 locomotives passed into LNER ownership upon Grouping in 1923, becoming J71s, and remained in similar roles to those the NER had previously assigned them. By 1930 however, the E1s (now classified as J72s by the LNER) had started to replace the older J71s and by the time of Nationalisation in 1948, the class had been depleted by almost a third, leaving 81 examples in traffic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fleet that British Railways (BR) inherited in 1948 remained largely intact to start with, but by the 1950s they were being replaced by new 350hp Diesel Shunters (later BR Class 08) and by 1961 the final J71, No. 68233, had been withdrawn after a service life of 74 years.

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.

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.

The elegant appearance of the T3 carried many hallmarks of a locomotive designed by William Adams, with long frames extending beyond the smokebox and stovepipe chimneys. Intended for use on the undulating lines west of Salisbury, they worked from depots on the Bournemouth line as well as the West of England line. Whilst in service several changes and modifications were made to the locomotives including the replacement of the original equalising beam suspension with traditional springing. In addition, once Dugald Drummond took post as the LSWR’s Chief Mechanical Engineer he began to change the stovepipe chimney to one of his own design whilst some examples also received Drummond boilers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll twenty locomotives were inherited by the Southern Railway (SR) at Grouping in 1923, however with the SR being an early adopter of electrification there soon became a locomotive surplus and within ten years, all but three T3s had been withdrawn.

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. Early examples had clack valves feeding the boiler with Ramsbottom safety valves and a bell whistle. Later, Ross Pop safety valves and a tubular whistle were fitted and the clack valves were removed, bringing commonality between the E and E1 types. Metal bufferbeams were employed as built, but later many were fitted with wooden planks sandwiched between two metal sheets, as found on the later E1 engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe E Class tanks were found to be suitable workhorses for the NER’s sprawling network across the North East, particularly at coastal ports, freight depots and wharves where tracks could feature tight curves and weight restrictions were often in place. They were also suited to station pilot duties and local trip working, as well as allocations at the NER’s Darlington Works and Shildon workshops where they handled internal movements. All 120 locomotives passed into LNER ownership upon Grouping in 1923, becoming J71s, and remained in similar roles to those the NER had previously assigned them. By 1930 however, the E1s (now classified as J72s by the LNER) had started to replace the older J71s and by the time of Nationalisation in 1948, the class had been depleted by almost a third, leaving 81 examples in traffic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fleet that British Railways (BR) inherited in 1948 remained largely intact to start with, but by the 1950s they were being replaced by new 350hp Diesel Shunters (later BR Class 08) and by 1961 the final J71, No. 68233, had been withdrawn after a service life of 74 years.
