Designed by R. A. Riddles and derived from Ivatt's LMS 2MT 2-6-0 locomotive design, itself a variation of Ivatt's Class 2 2-6-2T, the BR Standard Class 2 was the smallest of the BR standards and featured changes to the LMS design such as smaller cabs so that they could be used across the network where loading gauges were less generous. Darlington works was responsible for building the entire fleet of 65 engines and for a time construction of the LMS and BR designs overlapped. Like the LMS predecessor the BR design had a tender cab to enhance crew protection and visibility when running tender-first.

78006 was one of the first batch of the 2MT standard design built by British Railways. The locomotives in this batch were built for the Western Region at Darlington who had experience building the LMS Ivatt 2-6-0s. The locomotive was initially assigned to the Oswestry depot for work in mid-Wales where the enclosed cab design proved a huge advantage. From 1962 the locomotive was based in Gloucester where it remained until withdrawal in December 1965.

The Victorian Railways received their second series of T class locomotives from late 1959, these were mechanically similar to the first series but featured a new raised height operating cab layout. This new style of raised cab design featured throughout the remainder of the T class series.

SDS Models are pleased to offer the inclusion of the T-2 series within our range of Victorian Railways T class models.

Based upon the tried and proven Austrains T class mechanism we have comprehensively retooled almost every item, bringing the model inline with our exacting scale and design standards. Some 220 new or re-made parts are involved in the production of the four series we are offering below. All the models now feature prototypically correct width long hoods, series specific and appropriate fuel tank and battery box combinations, improved appearance bogie side frames and brake shoe / wheel tread alignment and a host of other design detail enhancements.

The EF510-300 series is an AC/DC electric locomotive that was introduced to replace the ED76 and EF81 series currently operating in Kyushu. The previous 0 and 500 series, which mostly ran on DC sections, were equipped with regenerative braking, but the 300 series is equipped with AC regenerative braking since it mainly runs on AC sections.

The paint color is based on the silver color inherited from the EF81-300 series, with navy blue and red stripes on the bottom of the car body, and the logo is placed on the side of the car body, inheriting the nickname "ECO-POWER Red Thunder" of the previous EF510 series.

The mass-produced pre-production car, No. 301, will appear in December 2021, and running tests are being conducted with the aim of starting operation around March 2023.

Features

• Among the EF510-300 series for the Kyushu region, the No. 301, the pre-production model, has been newly reproduced
• The headlights are equipped with a constant lighting board
• The front handrail (vertical) is a separate part
• JR FREIGHT mark and "RED THUNDER" logo printed
• The number plate is a separate part "EF510-301"
• Signal flares and whistle are separate parts
• Dummy coupler and self-coupled TN coupler included
• Integrated plate wheel centering wheels
• Flywheel-equipped power
• Gray bogie frame and silver wheels
• M-13 motor

Early History of the 82 Class

March 23rd, 1994 heralded a new era in freight rail operations in Australia. On this day, Clyde Engineering in association with General Motors EMD released the first of fifty eight ‘82' Class locomotives from Clyde’s Mittagong plant.

These locomotives along with their imported cousins, the EMD Canadian built 90 class, marked a new beginning in the way a locomotive fleet was operated and maintained.

Whilst these locomotives were operated by Freight Rail (a business unit of State Rail), they are actually supplied and serviced by Clyde at their Kooragang Island maintenance facility. This leasing arrangement was known as ‘Ready Power’

Under the terms of this contract, Clyde would be responsible for the overall up keep and maintenance of these units for a period of fifteen years. Although minor servicing and provisioning was undertaken by Freight Rail, major servicing and repairs was completed by Clyde.

With the introduction of these locomotives a wide spread reduction of the NSW locomotive fleet had begun. The first casualties were the veteran fleet of 44 class Alco’s, then the 45 and 442 classes along with the Mark I 48 class. Further reductions to the locomotive occurred with the withdrawals of the 422 and 49 classes.

This overall fleet reduction reduced the average age of Freight Rail’s locomotive fleet from over twenty five year old to approximately ten.

These locomotives have travelled all over NSW and have ventured into Queensland and Victoria on intermodal freight services, and in South Australia on the Leigh Creek coal service. They are currently seen on both coal and wheat services all over the state, through Sydney, and the occasional local trip train around the Sydney metropolitan area.

On Track Models is pleased bring you this highly desired locomotive as a highly detailed model in HO Scale.

Built at Cowlairs in August 1891, NBR 659 was rebuilt with the NBR Standard Boiler in September 1915. Sent to the Western Front in October 1917, it was numbered as ROD 6659.

On the locomotive's return it was named as Gough in April 1914, being renumbered as 9659 in 1926 then 5235 in 1946 under the LNER. In January 1949, under British Railways, Gough was renumbered as 65235 at which point it was allocated to Bathgate.

The first was imported in 1927, assembled at Newport Workshops, and placed in service in 1928. The bodies of the remaining nine were constructed at Newport Workshops using imported equipment and electrical equipment and placed in service between 1930 and 1931.
