New models from Tri-ang Railways occurred at an astonishing rate until by 1960 their range boasted many exciting train sets, locomotives, coaches, wagons, buildings and track. The excitement of the Tri-ang Railways sets were superbly highlighted by imaginative full colour graphics in the annual Tri-ang Railways catalogue that not only depicted the trains but where sets were concerned invariably placed them in an action-packed situation which just simply inspired and excited those young eyes that eagerly scanned the pages. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe enigmatic images and the dramatic set titles were enough for the catalogues to be poured over for hours on end with hopes and wishes that for Christmas or maybe a birthday the train set which offered so much potential excitement would be the present most wanted.

Collett for mixed traffic use. A prototype locomotive was produced in 1924 when Collett modified No. 2925 ‘Saint Martin’ of the Churchward ‘Saint’ Class by fitting smaller driving wheels, realigning the cylinders and fitting a ‘Castle’-style cab. Extensive trials ensued and small modifications were made before orders were placed for the first production series of ‘Hall’ Class locomotives in 1928.

Collett for mixed traffic use. A prototype locomotive was produced in 1924 when Collett modified No. 2925 ‘Saint Martin’ of the Churchward ‘Saint’ Class by fitting smaller driving wheels, realigning the cylinders and fitting a ‘Castle’-style cab. Extensive trials ensued and small modifications were made before orders were placed for the first production series of ‘Hall’ Class locomotives in 1928. The first engine soon emerged, and the class received names of country houses in England and Wales with ‘Hall’ in their titles, so becoming the ‘Hall’ Class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy all accounts the ‘Halls’ were very successful mixed traffic locomotives, 258 were built and the later-built Stanier 5MT ‘Black Five’ and Thompson B1 – built by the GWR’s competitors the LMS and LNER respectively and both of which were more numerous still – each followed some of the principles employed in the earlier ‘Hall’ Class design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the GWR required further mixed traffic locomotives, Collett’s successor Frederick W. Hawksworth modernised the design producing the ‘Modified Hall’ Class and a further 71 locomotives were built between the GWR and BR, with construction continuing until 1950. BR gave both types locomotive the power classification 5MT, the same as their previously-mentioned LMS and LNER counterparts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne 49XX ‘Hall’ Class locomotive was withdrawn prior to Nationalisation, however the rest of the class remained in traffic until 1959 when withdrawals commenced, and all had gone by the end of 1965.

The G2 was a class of 60 brand new steam locomotives built between 1921-22, and with a boiler generating a pressure of 175psi, they were the most powerful design the LNWR had ever constructed. From 1924 onwards, the G2s were rebuilt with a belpaire boiler which improved performance even further. The entire class passed into BR ownership in 1948, with the first withdrawals beginning in 1959 and the last in 1964.

Johnson for the Midland Railway (MR) and 65 locomotives were built at the MR’s Derby Works between 1881 and 1886. Tank engines with a 0-4-4 wheel formation were the Midland’s principle suburban and branch line passenger locomotive and so the 1532s were joined by several other very similar classes; by 1900 the railway had a fleet of more than 200 0-4-4Ts of comparable types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Class 1532s were built across five batches and two of the batches included locomotives fitted with condensing gear, in total ten examples were equipped in order to work through the Metropolitan Railway tunnels around London. Other locomotives were fitted with push-pull gear, evidenced by the additional apparatus fitted to the smokebox and the extra vacuum pipes adorning the bufferbeams, along with cab roof fittings that allowed the whistle to be controlled remotely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpon Grouping in 1923 the London, Midland \u0026amp; Scottish Railway (LMS) inherited 62 locomotives which they classified as 1Ps. Two examples had already been withdrawn by the MR and a third was sold to the Somerset \u0026amp; Dorset Joint Railway (SDJR), this would be absorbed into LMS stock in 1930.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModifications were made to the locomotives throughout their careers, with the fitting of different chimneys, smokeboxes and smokebox doors, but a major change occurred under LMS ownership when they began fitting Belpaire boilers in place of the original round-top versions. As a result, the cab fronts were rebuilt with the cab windows moved higher up, and the new boilers were complemented by new domes and safety valves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst the condensing locomotives were concentrated in and around London, the rest of the fleet found use across the Midland Railway network, and their geographical spread continued under LMS and then British Railways (BR) ownership. The 1532s were withdrawn gradually by the LMS and at the time of Nationalisation in 1948, just 14 members of the original 65 Class 1532s remained. By this time however, some of the MR’s similar designs had become collectively known as 1532s, so in total BR inherited 62 1Ps from the LMS, of which 34 were considered as 1532s. Withdrawals continued under BR until the final 1P was retired in 1959 and sadly none were preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54295520838017,"sku":"31-741BSF","price":243.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/5292\/7467\/files\/31-741BSF.jpg?v=1746883006"},{"product_id":"bachmann-31-742b-mr-1532-1p-tank-58056-br-lined-black-early-emblem","title":"Bachmann 31-742B - MR 1532 (1P) Tank 58056 BR Lined Black (Early Emblem)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Midland Railway Class 1532, later known as the 1P, is one of many jewels in the Bachmann Branchline steam locomotive fleet and now, this OO scale model is returning to the range in British Railways condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the first examples were built in 1881, almost seventy years later British Railways inherited many of these Victorian machines following Nationalisation and set them to work on the branch lines and local services with which they were already very familiar.

By this time however, some of the MR’s similar designs had become collectively known as 1532s, so in total BR inherited 62 1Ps from the LMS, of which 34 were considered as 1532s.

As a result, the cab fronts were rebuilt with the cab windows moved higher up, and the new boilers were complemented by new domes and safety valves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst the condensing locomotives were concentrated in and around London, the rest of the fleet found use across the Midland Railway network, and their geographical spread continued under LMS and then British Railways (BR) ownership. The 1532s were withdrawn gradually by the LMS and at the time of Nationalisation in 1948, just 14 members of the original 65 Class 1532s remained. By this time however, some of the MR’s similar designs had become collectively known as 1532s, so in total BR inherited 62 1Ps from the LMS, of which 34 were considered as 1532s. Withdrawals continued under BR until the final 1P was retired in 1959 and sadly none were preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54295527031169,"sku":"31-743","price":149.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/5292\/7467\/files\/31-743.jpg?v=1746883734"},{"product_id":"hornby-r3860-r3860-br-merchant-navy-class-4-6-2-35012-united-states-lines","title":"Hornby R3860 - R3860 BR, Merchant Navy Class, 4-6-2, 35012 'United States Lines'","description":"\u003cp\u003eConceived in 1937 when Oliver Bulleid became Chief Mechanical Engineer of the Southern Railway, the Merchant Navy Class represented Bulleid's vision for a quick accelerating, mixed traffic 4-6-2 locomotive, equally capable of hauling passenger services (such as the Golden Arrow and Atlantic Coast Expresses), or freight workings, to a speed of around 75mph. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMainly designed from the Brighton Works Drawing Office, under C.S Cocks, Bulleid, always aware of the practical applications and costing implications ensured that the best design practices of the time were applied to the new locomotive. Like his mentor, Nigel Gresley, Bulleid was a technically arrogant CME, an advocate for locomotives being driven hard and to brisk schedules and this materialised in his design ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1934, Bullied had been opposed to the use of streamlining but for the Merchant Navy's 'air-smoothed' design is suited his purposes, being easy to clean mechanically and hiding the boiler's external pipes, which in turn meant that they could be run for function, rather than aesthetics. Opting for a welded steel firebox, instead of traditional copper construction for reduced weight and pressure benefits, Bulleid was able to make the three equally sized cylinders smaller, at 18', and better balanced. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew X-ray inspection techniques were specifically developed to monitor wear to the welded areas, whilst the newly designed Bulleid Firth Brown 6\" 2' driving wheels reduced the amount of hammer blow to the rails, also resulting in less wear. Of all the new features Bulleid incorporated into the design, perhaps the most ingenious and, ultimately, most controversial was his decision to totally enclose the valve motion in an oil bath to prevent attritional wear through grit ingress. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the onset of war in 1939, Bullied's design was accepted by the wartime Railway Executive Committee and production commenced though November 1940 at Eastleigh Works. The first member of the class, Channel Packet, was introduced in June of 1941 as the rather complicatedly numbered 21C1. Only 20 locomotives would be built under the SR, with a further 10 being built by BR entering straight into their service between 1948 and 1949. The last of the locomotives would be withdrawn towards the end of steam on BR in July of 1967.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocomotive 35012 entered service with the Southern Railway in January 1945 with the palindromic locomotive 'number' 21C12. It would gain its more conventional number under BR before being rebuilt by the nationalised operator in February 1957, making it one of the first examples to be rebuilt. The locomotive would go on to serve under BR, mainly on the former Southern region before being withdrawn in April 1967. United States Lines would be scrapped in Newport shortly after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hornby Merchant Navy is fitted with a powerful five pole motor and a large flywheel providing excellent performance.

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.

The E4 was somewhere in between, making it ideal for mixed traffic purposes and resulting in the E4 being the most numerous member of the family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first E4 was built in 1897 and over a period of 6 years, 75 were outshopped from the LB\u0026amp;SCR’s Brighton Works. Known as ‘Radial’ Tanks because of the radial axle below the cab which was used instead of a more conventional pony truck, these tanks were go anywhere locomotives and found work on local passenger and freight services. In later life BR employed some as station pilots including at London Waterloo where they would marshal empty carriages between the station and the carriage sidings at Clapham Junction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeveral of the Class were named after towns, villages and geographical features in the LB\u0026amp;SCR area, and all passed into Southern Railway ownership upon Grouping in 1923. One was lost to enemy action during World War Two, but the remaining 74 were inherited by British Railways in 1948 although one was withdrawn the same year. Thereafter no further withdrawals were seen until 1955, and it was not until 1963 that the final four bowed out of service. Thankfully, one example No. 473 (later 32473 under BR ownership) was preserved and now forms part of the Bluebell Railway collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rapido Trains UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54865002299777,"sku":"35-079A","price":140.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/5292\/7467\/files\/35-079A.jpg?v=1760187047"},{"product_id":"bachmann-31-066sf-ner-e-j71-tank-317-lner-lined-black-sound-fitted","title":"Bachmann 31-066SF - NER E (J71) Tank 317 LNER Lined Black (Sound Fitted)","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. 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.

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.

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. The final three were withdrawn in 1936, 1942 and 1945 – the last being No. 563 which was then stored before appearing at the centenary of Waterloo Station in 1948. No. 563 would go on to be saved as part of the national collection, appearing at the Museum of British Transport at Clapham and then the National Railway Museum (NRM) at York.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2017, having been loaned for use in theatre productions of The Railway Children in both Canada and London, the NRM transferred ownership of No. 563 to the Swanage Railway Trust 563 Locomotive Group, a move that drew much attention at the time but one that ultimately resulted in the locomotive being restored to full working order. No. 563 returned to steam in October 2023 at the Swanage Railway where it can be found running today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EFE Rail model has been developed with the help of the South Western Circle – the historical society for the London South Western Railway – who have provided archive drawings and photographs, and the Swanage Railway Trust 563 Locomotive Group who have provided access to the preserved locomotive throughout its restoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55028912521601,"sku":"E85030","price":170.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/5292\/7467\/files\/E85030.jpg?v=1764355024"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.grandadstrainshop.co.uk\/collections\/steam-locomotive-oo-gauge.oembed?page=2","provider":"Grandad's Train Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
