Specifications

• Driving wheels: Spoked
  
• Tender: Coal

Upon becoming Chief Mechanical Engineer of the LNER, Thompson sought to create an unstreamlined, mixed traffic version of Gresley's A4 Pacific locomotives. Being unable to secure permission to construct new locomotives, Thompson decided to rebuild the 2-8-2 P2 Class locomotives as the new A2/2 Class.

Thompson advocated divided drive, a system in which the middle cylinder drove the forward two of the six driving wheels whilst the outside cylinders drove the middle two. Due to his quest for standardisation, this arrangement necessitated the middle cylinder to be placed further forward than normal and the outside cylinders further back, behind the leading bogie, so that standard connecting rods could be used for all cylinders. Although the new designs retained much of the P2's power despite their lighter weight, wheel slip issues made them unsuitable for the routes the P2's had been designed for.

P2 No. 2002 'Earl Marischal' was rebuilt to become a A2/2 in June 1944, before being renumbered 502 in 1946 and 60502 upon the nationalisation of the railways. After becoming a A2/2, 'Earl Marischal' returned to Scotland before being moved south of the border to the York Shed at the end of 1949. The locomotive was withdrawn for service in 1961.

In the mid 1940s several D3 class locomotives were fitted with electric headlights, some retained their earlier low sided flare top tender.

SDS Models have undertaken the production of two dedicated, and era specific, running numbers from this period. The engine units are based upon the forthcoming Phoenix Reproductions model mated with our own low sided tender. These models are being produced concurrently with the Phoenix Reproductions units and should be available Qtr1 2021.

Introduced in 1996 by National Rail Corporation these 120 units were built by A Goninan and Co. The locomotives are 3000kw General Electric powered and used on standard gauge Australia wide.

They were introduced in grey and marigold and several were painted into various business units of NRC. Later they wore GSR train liveries representing the Hook and Pull agreement between the two companies.

In 2002 Pacific National acquired the assets of NRC and commenced to repaint the NR class into their new blue and yellow colours.

The model features the current tooling from Austrains and includes operating headlights, marker and ditch lights and is Kadee equipped. These are an ideal way to add colour to your collection.

SDS Models HO T360 VR Blue & Gold T4 Series T Class Locomotive

Based upon the tried and proven Austrains T class mechanism, SDS Models have comprehensively retooled almost every item, bringing the model inline with their exacting scale and design standards. Some 220 new or re-made parts are involved in the production of the four series.

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.

Introduced in 1985 by the operating company, Great Scottish & Western Railway Co. (GS&WR), since 2005 the overnight luxury train has been run by Belmond Ltd. Initially hauled by West Coast Railways using Class 37, 47 or 57 locomotives, since 2016 GBRf have held the haulage contract; two Class 66 locomotives being dedicated to the train: 66743 and 66746. Both locomotives carry the Belmond Royal Scotsman maroon livery, featuring the GS&WR crest, which was applied during April/May 2016 at Arlington Fleet Services' Eastleigh works. 66746 entered traffic on 11th April and 66743 followed shortly after, on 30th May.

514 Chamossaire entered traffic on 28 September 1946. It was allocated to Kings Cross from new, although it only spent two years on the top lines duties before being moved out to Peterborough's New England shed on 19 December 1948.

Chamossaire had been renumbered to 60514 under British Railways on 23 March 1948 and was a late recipient of the Diagram 118 boiler, entering Doncaster Works on 16 January 1961 and re-entering traffic just over a month later.
