A. Riddles. Drawing inspiration from the LMS’s Stanier 5MT ‘Black 5s’, the ‘Standard 5’ had higher running boards and modern features like roller bearings, mechanical lubricators, self-cleaning fireboxes, hopper ashpans and rocking fire grates. In all 172 examples were built at BR’s Derby and Doncaster Works and the Class was widely distributed, with locomotives being allocated to every region of the BR network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5MTs were coupled to a variety of tenders according to the needs of each region and the routes undertaken, for instance those allocated to the Southern Region received tender types with a greater water capacity than some delivered to the Midland Region, due to the lack of water troughs on the electrified Southern network. A significant engineering innovation was the fitting of the BR Caprotti valve gear to 30 members of the class – this part proved to be more mechanically efficient than the standard Walschaerts valve gear and the Caprotti locomotives were consequently more powerful for their size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwenty of the Southern Region locomotives were named in 1959, with each name being transferred from SR King Arthur Class locomotives that were being withdrawn. Withdrawals of the Standard 5s commenced in 1964 with just 23 surviving until 1968, when, with steam coming to an end on BR, the final examples were withdrawn. Five locomotives have however been preserved, including one fitted with Caprotti valve gear, and all have steamed in the preservation era.\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","brand":"Graham Farish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44114217664747,"sku":"372-730","price":157.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/5292\/7467\/files\/372-730.jpg?v=1694860949"},{"product_id":"graham-farish-372-626bsf-lms-ivatt-2mt-class-46474-br-lined-black-early-emblem","title":"Graham Farish 372-626BSF - LMS Ivatt 2MT Class 46474 BR Lined Black Early Emblem","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe popular LMS Ivatt 2MT returns to the Graham Farish N scale range following upgrades to include the Next18 DCC decoder interface and a pre-fitted speaker.

G. Ivatt for the London, Midland \u0026amp; Scottish Railway (LMS), 128 of these Class 2 Moguls were built for light freight and passenger duties. With construction commencing in 1946, just twenty examples were built by the LMS and the remaining 108 were outshopped by British Railways following Nationalisation in 1948. The construction programme was completed in 1952 and these Mixed Traffic locomotives would go on to operate on all the BR regions, with the exception of the Southern. Light axle loadings allowed the Ivatt 2MTs to be used on most routes including branch lines, where their almost enclosed cabs made them ideal for working tender first when no turning facilities existed. The design provided the basis for the BR Standard Class 2MT 2-6-0, and the two are very similar in appearance, with the Standard version having only a modified cab and tender profile to allow unrestricted route availability across the British network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith BR progressively closing more and more branch lines, and rationalising others – often employing new diesel multiple units to provide a more economical passenger service – duties for small locomotives like the Ivatt 2MTs began to disappear and the decline of the class began in 1961 when the first example was withdrawn. The Mogul’s versatility and its relatively modern design however ensured that many examples were still in traffic until the mid-1960s, but by 1967 all had been withdrawn.

G. Ivatt for the London, Midland \u0026amp; Scottish Railway (LMS), 128 of these Class 2 Moguls were built for light freight and passenger duties. With construction commencing in 1946, just twenty examples were built by the LMS and the remaining 108 were outshopped by British Railways following Nationalisation in 1948. The construction programme was completed in 1952 and these Mixed Traffic locomotives would go on to operate on all the BR regions, with the exception of the Southern. Light axle loadings allowed the Ivatt 2MTs to be used on most routes including branch lines, where their almost enclosed cabs made them ideal for working tender first when no turning facilities existed. The design provided the basis for the BR Standard Class 2MT 2-6-0, and the two are very similar in appearance, with the Standard version having only a modified cab and tender profile to allow unrestricted route availability across the British network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith BR progressively closing more and more branch lines, and rationalising others – often employing new diesel multiple units to provide a more economical passenger service – duties for small locomotives like the Ivatt 2MTs began to disappear and the decline of the class began in 1961 when the first example was withdrawn. The Mogul’s versatility and its relatively modern design however ensured that many examples were still in traffic until the mid-1960s, but by 1967 all had been withdrawn. Thankfully, seven Ivatt 2MT have been preserved and the type is an ideal source of motive power for many of the trains running on heritage railways today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Graham Farish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44426080878827,"sku":"372-626ASF","price":230.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/5292\/7467\/files\/372-626ASF.jpg?v=1702658075"},{"product_id":"graham-farish-372-136b-lms-5mt-black-5-with-welded-tender-45247-br-lined-black-early-emblem","title":"Graham Farish 372-136B - LMS Stanier Class 5 with Welded Tender 45247 BR Lined Black (Early Emblem)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe LMS ‘Black 5’ is arguably the most famous of the 4-6-0 mixed traffic types built by the LMS, or any of the ‘Big 4’ railway companies, and this iconic design is brought to life in miniature thanks to this N scale model.

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.

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.

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":54514278760833,"sku":"372-611","price":187.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/5292\/7467\/files\/372-611.jpg?v=1753374681"},{"product_id":"graham-farish-372-611sf-lner-v2-4843-kings-own-yorkshire-light-infantry-lner-lined-green-sound-fitted","title":"Graham Farish 372-611SF - LNER V2 4843 'Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry' LNER Lined Green (Sound Fitted)","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":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. Often described as ‘the engines that won the war’, these new Graham Farish models are sure to win the heart of any discerning N scale enthusiast. Depicting one of the LNER’s most successful steam locomotive designs, this masterpiece in miniature captures the look and the character of the prototype to a tee. With highly detailed mouldings and many separate parts used on both the locomotive and tender, including era- and prototype-specific detailing to allow accurate models of any given class member throughout their working lives, the performance of these new V2s is just as impressive as their appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA powerful coreless motor and flywheel is incorporated into the diecast locomotive chassis, powering the driving wheels which run in separate metal bearings.

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":"graham-farish-372-613-lner-v2-60964-durham-light-infantry-br-lined-green-late-crest","title":"Graham Farish 372-613 - LNER V2 60964 'Durham Light Infantry' BR Lined Green (Late Crest)","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.

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":54522692862337,"sku":"372-614","price":187.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/5292\/7467\/files\/372-614.jpg?v=1764351057"},{"product_id":"dapol-2s-016-009-m7-0-4-4-tank-30248-british-railways-lined-black","title":"Dapol 2S-016-009 - M7 0-4-4 Tank 30248 British Railways Lined Black","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"gm-col-50\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe LSWR M7 Class is a class of 0-4-4 passenger tank locomotive built between 1897 and 1911. Drummond designed the class for use on the intensive London network of the London \u0026amp; South Western Railway (LSWR). The locomotive proved to be well suited to such tasks. Because of their usefulness, 105 were built, 95 being built at Nine Elms Works with the remaining ten built at Eastleigh Works. The class went through several modifications over five production batches. For this reason, there were detail variations such as frame length. Many of the class were fitted for push-pull operations, that enabled efficient use on branch line duties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder LSWR and Southern Railway ownership they had been successful suburban passenger engines, although with the increased availability of newer standard designs, many of the class were diagrammed to take on a new role as reliable branch line engines, especially in Southern England.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany of the class also entered service with British Railways.

first of the GWR 4073 ‘Castle’ Class locomotives was built in 1923 to the design of then- Chief Mechanical Engineer Charles Collett. The type was intended for express passenger trains and used the 4-6-0 wheel arrangement so favoured by the GWR and built on the success of the earlier Star Class which first entered traffic in 1907 albeit with a new, larger boiler making it more powerful and capable of handling the longest expresses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver a period of 27 years a total of 155 Castles were built by the GWR’s Swindon Works, joined between 1925 and 1940 by 16 more that were converted from older locomotives, mostly Stars. All 171 locomotives were named, usually after Castles in the west, but those rebuilt from Stars generally retained their original names although during their careers some Castles carried other names, including those of noble Earls and some named after RAF aircraft used during World War Two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Castle Class turned out to be one of the GWR’s most successful designs, they were not as powerful as the later King Class locomotives, however these were restricted to a small number of routes due to their greater weight, a problem not faced by the Castles which could be found hauling many of the fastest and heaviest express workings across a large part of the GWR network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo impressive was the original design that very few developments were made during their service lives. Streamlining was trialled on one example, but the GWR did not pursue this idea, and several were converted to oil firing for a short period but again this came to nothing. The fitting of a double chimney to 65 members of the class from 1956 was the most significant change as BR bid to improve high speed performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first withdrawal came in 1950 when ‘Star’ conversion No. 4009 bowed out of service, but the type remained strong until 1965 when No. 7029 ‘Clun Castle’ was the last to be withdrawn after it had worked the final steam out of Paddington on 27th November 1965. ‘Clun Castle’ is among eight Castles that survive in preservation today, although the future of one, No. 7027 ‘Thornbury Castle’ which has never been restored from scrapyard condition, remains uncertain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Graham Farish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55028863172993,"sku":"372-034","price":153.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/5292\/7467\/files\/372-034.jpg?v=1764352231"},{"product_id":"graham-farish-372-034sf-gwr-4073-castle-5055-earl-of-eldon-gwr-lined-green-gw-crest-sound-fitted","title":"Graham Farish 372-034SF - GWR 4073 'Castle' 5055 'Earl of Eldon' GWR Lined Green (GW Crest) (SOUND FITTED)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Graham Farish Castle Class locomotive is a worthy replica of one of the Great Western Railway’s (GWR) finest steam locomotive designs, with its elegant appearance only amplified by the beautiful lined green livery that was synonymous with the GWR, and later British Railway’s Western Region.

CLASS HISTORY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first of the GWR 4073 ‘Castle’ Class locomotives was built in 1923 to the design of then- Chief Mechanical Engineer Charles Collett. The type was intended for express passenger trains and used the 4-6-0 wheel arrangement so favoured by the GWR and built on the success of the earlier Star Class which first entered traffic in 1907 albeit with a new, larger boiler making it more powerful and capable of handling the longest expresses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver a period of 27 years a total of 155 Castles were built by the GWR’s Swindon Works, joined between 1925 and 1940 by 16 more that were converted from older locomotives, mostly Stars. All 171 locomotives were named, usually after Castles in the west, but those rebuilt from Stars generally retained their original names although during their careers some Castles carried other names, including those of noble Earls and some named after RAF aircraft used during World War Two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Castle Class turned out to be one of the GWR’s most successful designs, they were not as powerful as the later King Class locomotives, however these were restricted to a small number of routes due to their greater weight, a problem not faced by the Castles which could be found hauling many of the fastest and heaviest express workings across a large part of the GWR network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo impressive was the original design that very few developments were made during their service lives. Streamlining was trialled on one example, but the GWR did not pursue this idea, and several were converted to oil firing for a short period but again this came to nothing. The fitting of a double chimney to 65 members of the class from 1956 was the most significant change as BR bid to improve high speed performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first withdrawal came in 1950 when ‘Star’ conversion No. 4009 bowed out of service, but the type remained strong until 1965 when No. 7029 ‘Clun Castle’ was the last to be withdrawn after it had worked the final steam out of Paddington on 27th November 1965. ‘Clun Castle’ is among eight Castles that survive in preservation today, although the future of one, No. 7027 ‘Thornbury Castle’ which has never been restored from scrapyard condition, remains uncertain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Graham Farish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55028898365825,"sku":"372-034SF","price":247.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/5292\/7467\/files\/372-034SF.jpg?v=1764353994"},{"product_id":"kato-10-503-2-pocket-line-series-steam-passenger-train-pack","title":"Kato 10-503-2 - Pocket Line Series Steam Passenger Train Pack","description":"\u003ch2\u003ePocket Line Steam Passenger Train Pack\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1:150 scale model produced by Kato.
