This four wheeled coach is a representation of the many which served on the Great Northern Railway (GNR) in the late 19th and early 20th century.

Four wheeled coaches proved especially good at branch line work where their small size enabled the traversing of tight radius curves, whilst lower passenger numbers meant their small size was more acceptable and enabled trains to be hauled by smaller engines.

This GNR coach is modelled as having step boards to enable access at stations with low platforms and gas lighting.

This model also features our new Maglight system which allows coach lights to be turned on and off using a magnetic wand, removing the need for track pick-ups which would increase rolling resistance.

In-order to allow running at 125 mph on Britain's railways, new rolling stock was needed by British Railways in order to replace the aging Mk2s. 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 the FirstGroup's decision to buyout their partner's shares in Great Western Holdings, a decision was made to rebrand the Great Western Trains HST units to First Great Western (FGW). Visually this change involved the fitting of a new vinyl gold strip and colour fading, as well as fitting new FGW logos. This livery was relatively short lived with FGW introducing a variety of new liveries over the next few years which were more in keeping with the First Group's other corporate liveries.

ADB975082 was a former Mk.1 BSO, 9261, that was converted into a Tool Van for the Landore Breakdown Unit in 1970. The livery represents the coach during the period when it ran with the unit in 1978.

The original Austrains PL series of carriages have been upgraded. The Austrains NEO series are based around the same 59'9" design as the original models.

We've retooled the sides to reflect another style of doorway synonymous to this type of carriage, the sliding door. At the same time we took the opportunity to remove the faux raised screw heads of the original model along the raised beading and letter board area of the car body.

We have also improved the dimensionally accuracy of the roof mounted torpedo ventilators, made some small changes to the appearance of the bogies and improved the interior seat representation.

Lastly, we have introduced an additional width underframe, with centered handbrake wheel position. This provides us with a opportunity to model specific car numbers that match the prototype and offer all new car numbers. Three distinct eras of operation are offered, all with specific annotations on the car sides.

The APL and BCPL cars use the original 8'0" wide style underframe and the BPL cars ride on a new 7'6" style of underframe with centered handbrake wheel.

Z 6 Wheel Guards Van Kit

Six wheeled brake vans, generally similar to the Z, trailed goods, passenger and mixed trains on the Victorian Railways since its inception in the 1850's until their withdrawal in the 1980's, only a few years before the withdrawal of all Guard's vans.

The prototype for this kit is the standard 8'6" wide, 6 wheeled van first issued to traffic in 1889 and classified D at that time. The kit portrays a van as running in the 1950's and '60s' with 4 windows in the front and back walls of the cupola. The model may be modernised to mid 1960's onwards by blanking out the middle 2 windows with 0.005" styrene or brass. A chimney is also included for a stove for heating in the Guard's compartment, which was a modification from mid 1950 onwards. By the early 1960's most vans had their buffers removed.

Model illustrated has been fitted with couplers (not included).

The Beatles require almost no introduction, it is hard to imagine a corner of the globe where their punchy sounds have not been heard in the almost 60 years they have achieved mainstream success.'The Beatles' is the only double album released by The Beatles in all their years of producing. 

The album features an uncharacteristically plain cover, with a solid white background only broken by the album and band name, The Beatles. It is for this reason that the album is often referred to as the 'White Album'. The album is often regarded as one of the best albums of all time, and features some of the most legendary Beatles songs such as 'Back in the USSR', 'Dear Prudence', 'Helter Skelter' and 'Glass Onion'.

The OAA wagon could be seen as a logical progression of the open wagons of yore, they had no explicit purpose in mind upon introduction but to haul a large amount of cargo wherever was required. Introduced in 1971 with a carrying capacity of 31 tonnes the OAA wagons had drop side doors on each side for the easy loading and unloading of cargo.

The OAA wagons saw conversions and rebuilds within a few years of introduction as the railways undertook a move towards specific rolling stock for specific uses, and the need for general wagons became reduced. Many wagons would go on to enter departmental service. A small handful of the wagons are still in service, although these tend to be used as barrier vehicles in the modern era.
