The 221 series is a JR West suburban train that was introduced in 1989, and was used for the special rapid service along with the 117 series when it was introduced.

Also, since 1998, yaw dampers have been added to some bogies, and the lower part of the skirt of the leading car has been extended since 2004.

In-order to allow running at 125 mph on Britain's railways, new rolling stock was needed by British Railways. Significant improvements over the Mk2 included new secondary air suspension between the bogies and the coach body as well as aerodynamic skirting on the underframe. Mk3 coaches are 75ft (23m) long enabling far greater capacity than older coaches. Mk3 coaches also incorporate disk brakes and wheel slip protection enabling faster deceleration.

The first Mk3 coaches to be delivered were used as part of the HST prototype along with the two Class 41 diesel power cars in 1972. Mk3 coaches entered service in 1975 along with the Class 43 forming the iconic InterCity 125 trainset.

Following a period of privatised operations carried out by Virgin Trains East Coast, the InterCity East Coast franchise was re-nationalised. The new operator, named LNER in reference to operator of train services in the area between 1923 and 1948, is owned by the Department for Transport and currently awarded the franchise until at least 2025. LNER inherited a large fleet of IC 125 and IC 225 sets, but quickly began replacing the ageing stock with more modern Hitachi built high-speed multiple units. The last IC 125 train operated by LNER ran as part of a farewell tour at the end of 2019.

Freight Australia VHGF Wheat Hopper Kit

Tulloch Limited of Rhodes, N.S.W., constructed an initial batch of one hundred aluminium wheat hopper wagons in 1966. These wagons bore code/numbers GJX 1 to 20 and GJF 21 to 100. A similar design, but featuring steel construction, was prepared and one hundred steel hoppers were constructed in 1968/69 by Steelweld of Victoria. These wagons continued the GJF code, being numbered 101 to 200. Further GJF wagons were fabricated in steel at Newport and Ballarat Workshops which extended the number series. The various batches of steel hoppers varied in details such as type and arrangement of brake equipment, including hand brake, filling hatches, discharge outlets, walkways and sidesill cross section. This kit is representative of wagon numbers 381 to 635 constructed from 1984 to 1987 at Ballarat Workshops. These wagons were originally coded VHGY but were changed to VHGF in more recent years.

Model illustrated has been fitted with shunter's steps and couplers (not included).

QR Bogie Open Wagon kit

QR number 1 was built at the VR Newport workshops in 1889, being the forerunner of a long lived and useful class of wagon. Wright and Edwards of Braybrook built 150 wagons, numbered 2 to 151 in 1890/91 with a further 50 wagons, numbered 152 to 201 constructed by the VR at Braybrook in 1892. These wagons were built with swing motion diamond frame bogies, a composite steel and wood underframe with truss rods and were rated at 26tons capacity. Construction of QR resumed in 1912 with a further 175 wagons constructed to a slightly altered design, featuring plate frame bogies, in the following two years. During the 1930s the fleet were rebuilt with all steel underframes, auto-couplers and heavier bracing for the ends. The brake equipment on wagons 1-201 was altered from a combination brake cylinder-auxiliary reservoir to a larger brake cylinder with separate auxiliary reservoir. The all steel underframe was stronger and the rated capacity increased to 30 tons, with a further increase to 31 tons in the late 1950s when buffers and truss-rods were removed.

The kit represents a wagon as running from the mid to late 1950s until final withdrawal in the 1990s. Includes etched details and 40 Ton Cast Steel Bogies.

Only wagon is pictured. Refer to title for bogie style.
