<h3>Early History of the 82 Class</h3> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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’</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>This overall fleet reduction reduced the average age of Freight Rail’s locomotive fleet from over twenty five year old to approximately ten.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>On Track Models is pleased bring you this highly desired locomotive as a highly detailed model in HO Scale.</p> <h3>82 Class Improvements:</h3> <ul> <li>ESU designed PCB with two sugar cube speakers</li> <li>Independent working headlights, white and red marker lights (DCC only)</li> <li>See through Dynamic blower housing with box</li> <li>Improved one-piece MU cables</li> <li>Improved air hoses</li> <li>Improved axles bushes for better electrical pick up</li> <li>Factory Painted &amp; Decorated in new PN livery</li> </ul> <h3>82 Class Model Locomotive Standard Features:</h3> <ul> <li>Ready-to-Run</li> <li>Scale AMRA Profile Metal Wheels</li> <li>All wheel drive - All wheel pick up</li> <li>18" Recommended minimum radius</li> <li>Highly detailed bogies with separately applied parts</li> <li>Easy access to the DCC 21 pin plug</li> <li>Easy body removal</li> <li>Quality 5 pole skew wound motor</li> <li>Die cast metal chassis with recesses for twin speakers</li> <li>Twin brass flywheels</li> <li>Etched metal detail parts</li> <li>Separately applied metal parts</li> <li>Genuine Kadee Metal Couplers</li> <li>Detailed cab interrior</li> <li>Operational headlights, foglights, &amp; marker lights</li> <li>Compatible with Code 70, 83, &amp; 100 Rail</li> <li>Accurate Paint Schemes &amp; Printing</li> <li>Factory Painted &amp; Decorated</li> </ul> <br> <h3>Photos shown are representative of the finished model.

<p>Originally conceived as a cheaper, more reliable alternative to the Advanced Passenger Train in the early 1970s, the British Railways Board authorised the development of a prototype High Speed Diesel Train, with two locomotives designated as Class 41. These aerodynamic power cars were constructed by British Railways Engineering Ltd at their Crewe Works and emerged in June and August 1972, fitted with Paxman Valenta 12RP200L engines, developing 2,250 hp.</p><p>The power cars, having initially been numbered 41001 and 41002, were later given the coaching stock numbers 43000 and 43001 for operating trials on the Eastern Region and subsequent transfer to the Western Region. Following evaluation and a change of name to High Speed Train, British Rail placed orders for similar trains for use on the Western, Eastern, Scottish and London Midland Regions.</p><p>When originally built at BREL's Crewe Works, the InterCity 125 units were considered to be diesel multiple units and allocated as Class 253 to the Western Region and Class 254 for the Eastern Region. With the introduction of Trailer Guard Second (TGS) carriages, later power cars had no guard's equipment installed and by 1987 most power cars were simply classified as Driving Motor (DM), although they still had luggage van space, retaining a window by the luggage door on each side.</p><p>Following problems with the power cars and the operational ease of removing power cars to perform scheduled maintenance, unit formations were abandoned, resulting in the Class 43 locomotive prefix being adopted. The 197 Class 43 power cars produced between 1976 and 1982 were numbered 43002 to 43198 and are officially the fastest diesel units in the world. The units have an absolute maximum speed of 148mph (238kph), which is the current world diesel traction record, set on November 1, 1987.</p><p>In 1987, for trial purposes, eight of the Class 43s were converted for use as Driving Vehicles with the Class 89 and Class 91 locomotives. The power cars were fitted with buffers and Time Division Multiplex (TDM) equipment that allowed them to directly control the other locomotive. Following the delivery of British Rail's Mk 4 coaching stock, the TDM equipment was removed and the power cars reverted to their normal duties, retaining their buffers.</p><p>During the late 1990s, twenty-five of the Class 43s were updated with Paxman 12VP185L engines in an attempt to reduce fuel consumption and emissions; however these proved to be less reliable in service than was hoped.</p><p>Unit number 43238 was built in February 1977 and would go on to serve BR high speed services in both the BR blue and grey livery as well as the InterCity executive guise. By 2019 the unit would find itself in service with LNER, awaiting a transition to service with the East Midlands Railway.</p><p>In preparation for this the locomotive was painted out of its LNER colour scheme and into an all over red scheme with a yellow front panel, a livery which could simply have a vinyl EMR loco added to it when the time came to transition companies. This colour led to the unit being nicknamed the 'Flying Tomato'.</p><p>Unit 43305 entered service in the winter of 1978 with BR initially in the blue and grey livery before transitioning to the InterCity livery in line with the rest of the class as BR high speed services forged an identity of its own. By the late 2010's the locomotive was in service with LNER painted in their standard livery. After transitioning to East Midlands Railway with much of the LNER fleet the locomotive is currently in storage.</p><p>Upgraded for 2023, the Hornby Class 43 pack includes lights front and rear and well as motorised fans in the roof and a kinomatic coupling system. Fitted with a 5 pole motor and dual flywheels the motor car is all wheel drive. Both units are fitted with 21 pin DCC sockets and pre-fitted dual speakers which allow for the use of sound on DCC as well as offering greater control of the lights and fans.</p><h3>Specifications</h3><ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 46</li> <li>Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 5</li> <li>Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 3.5</li> <li>Item Weight - Without Packaging: 0.72</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:76 Scale 00 Gauge</li> <li>Finish: Painted</li> <li>Colour: Red and Yellow</li> <li>Gauge: OO</li> <li>DCC Status: DCC Ready 21 pin socket</li> <li>Operator: LNER</li> <li>Designer: Sir Kenneth Grange</li> <li>Wheel Configuration: Bo-Bo</li> <li>Livery: LNER Red 'Flying Tomato'</li> <li>Minimum Curve (mm): Radius 2</li> <li>Motor: 5 Pole Skew wound</li> <li>Number of Parts: 2</li> <li>Buffer Type: Sprung Metal Buffers</li> <li>Coupling Type: NEM Tension Lock</li> <li>Hornby Decoder Compatibility Primary: HM7000-21TXS: Bluetooth® &amp; DCC Sound Decoder (21-pin)</li> </ul>

<p>This locomotive will be included in a bespoke box, along with a medallion featuring the Flying Scotsman centenary logo, operator, running number and year.</p><p>The largest of the constituent companies that would become the famous LNER was the GNR, and their Chief Mechanical Engineer naturally adopted the same position in the newly formed company, a man by the name of Herbert Nigel Gresley. As the brains behind the locomotive stock of the GNR, he had commissioned a new high speed passenger locomotive class to serve the GNR’s London to York main line. These became the A1 locomotive class, before a subsequent rebuild gave them the designation of the A3 class. One such example of this new and powerful class was named after the 10:00am service between London and Edinburgh, the named Special Scotch Express, or as it was renamed in 1924 the Flying Scotsman.</p><p>The locomotive in question, number 1472, was originally outshopped from the GNR’s Doncaster Works as a class A1 with GNR colouring, lettering and numbering before being renumbered and named in 1924 to promote the LNER’s Flying Scotsman service. Despite its new name and number, 4472 Flying Scotsman herself did not actually pull the Flying Scotsman service until 1928, spending the first four years of its life undertaking promotional work and light duties for the LNER, such as being its star exhibit at both the 1924 and 1925 British Empire Exhibition. Relatively little of note would occur in the locomotives life and service for the next twenty years, with main changes consisting of her coupling with a corridor tender in 1928 (this allowed the locomotive to run non-stop between London and Edinburgh as the crew could be swapped via the tender mid run) before being reverted to the original tender in 1936. The game of LNER musical chairs did not stop here however, with the tender again being swapped in 1938 for a streamlined tender, with much the same appearance as a corridor tender without the corridor. Flying Scotsman would retain her streamlined tender until her withdrawal from British Railways service, numbered 60103, in 1963.</p><p>In preservation, Flying Scotsman has captured the hearts of the nation, becoming recognised by even those with less than a passing interest in railways and railway history. Under various notable owners, including Alan Pegler and Sir William McAlpine, Flying Scotsman has undertaken tours of America and Australia with mixed success and under ownership of the National Railway Museum saw a six million pound overhaul, cementing her future as a main line stalwart. Alan Pegler, the original saviour of the locomotive passed away in 2012, with his ashes being thrown into Scotsman’s firebox on the Farewell Alan Pegler rail tour between King’s Cross and York in 2018.</p><p>This Hornby Dublo model features the locomotive as it would have appeared during its tour of the United States in 1969. The locomotive is finished in a gleaming green paint which couples with the diecast boiler to create a finish close to that that could have been seen on the full size locomotive. The model features a strong 5 pole motor, cab detailing including crew figures, a diecast body and is DCC ready. This locomotive also features the specific embellishments that Flying Scotsman required to run on US rails, including its functioning top lamp, bell and cowcatcher painted red as it would have been seen on the tour before its stop in St Louis, Missouri on the 30th June 1970 where the catcher was painted black to blend in with the existing locomotive features. This pack also includes the second tender, an iconic part of its USA consist.</p><h3>Specifications</h3><ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 29.1</li> <li>Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 5</li> <li>Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 3.5</li> <li>Item Weight - Without Packaging: 0.6</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:76 Scale 00 Gauge</li> <li>License: Yes</li> <li>License line: Produced under licence for SCMG Enterprises Ltd. © SCMGE.

**Unearth a Legend: The Princess Coronation Class Duchess – A Collector’s Dream** Step back in time and experience the raw power and elegance of the Princess Coronation Class Duchess locomotives, meticulously crafted to capture the spirit of the British railway era. This isn’t just a model; it’s a tangible piece of history, born from a fascinating story of engineering priorities and a bold vision. The genesis of the Duchesses lies in a pivotal moment – a challenge issued by Sir William Stanier to produce a conventional version alongside the streamlined Princess Royals. Stanier famously declared, “Let them have their streamliners if they b***** want them, but we will also build them five proper ones!” And so, five stunning locomotives – 6230 Duchess of Buccleuch to 6234 Duchess of Abercorn – emerged, quickly earning the affectionate moniker "Duchesses." These early versions, with their single chimney and timeless design, are revered by purists as the finest Pacific locomotives ever built. But the story doesn’t end there. Four more Duchesses, 6249-6252, arrived in 1944, initially ordered as streamlined but ultimately deemed too costly. Cleverly, they emerged without the casings, retaining their streamlined tenders. Further refinements followed, culminating in 1946 with the introduction of curved fall plates and smoke deflectors on the final three – 6253-6255. The de-streamlining process was a gradual transformation, culminating in the iconic slant of the smokebox edges, now visible on locomotives like 6235 City of Birmingham and 6243 City of Lancaster. By late 1958, the majority of the fleet had adopted a unified appearance, a testament to the evolution of design. Our featured model is a magnificent 6231 Duchess of Atholl, a standout example clad in the striking LMS Crimson Lake livery. This particular Duchess served with distinction until its final days in November 1963, numbered 46231 and sporting an experimental blue livery along the way. **Detailed Specifications:** * **Scale:** 1:120 – A remarkably accurate miniature. * **Length:** 19.7 cm – Impressive size for a detailed model. * **Height:** 3.7 cm – A truly substantial locomotive. * **Width:** 2.5 cm – Perfectly proportioned. * **Weight:** 0.16 kg – A weighty reminder of its heritage. * **Finish:** Expertly painted and brought to life. * **Colour:** LMS Crimson Lake – A vibrant and historically accurate livery. * **Gauge:** TT – Compatible with your favorite TT layouts. * **DCC Status:** Next 18 Socket (NEM 662) – Ready for advanced operation. * **Motor:** 5 Pole – Delivering smooth and powerful movement. * **Number of Parts:** 1 – For easy assembly. * **Designer:** Sir William Stanier - A true engineering icon. * **Wheel Configuration:** 4-6-2 – The classic Pacific configuration. * **Minimum Curve (mm):** Radius 2 – Ideal for use on smaller layouts.
