<p>The Class 08 will go down in history as one of the most dependable shunters ever built. While all Class 08 shunters were built by British Railways they are actually based on an earlier LMS design. With 996 of these shunters built between 1953 and 1962, they are still a common sight at mainline yards and sidings, and a common sight on heritage railways, with the number preserved almost outnumbering those currently in service.</p> <p>With no thought given to aesthetics, the Class 08 was a utilitarian workhorse of the railways, with its longevity speaking volumes to its performance. The locomotive would have a cab at the number one end and equipment housed in the long nose extending towards the number two end.</p> <p>While not intended for mainline duties, some of the class in the south could be seen trundling up the mainline if there was a short distance between yards that stock needed to be moved between, assuming no express services needed to occupy the track at the time.D3069 was built in November 1953 as part of the first batch of Darlington built shunters.</p> <p>Initially, the locomotive was numbered 13069, with this number it was allocated to shed 38E in Woodford Halse in Northamptonshire. In 1957 it would see its first renumbering to D3069. The locomotive is one of a very small number of shunters to never receive a TOPS number, being absorbed by BR as departmental stock in July 1974.</p> <p>In departmental use it was renumbered to 966509 and it would wear this number until June 1979 when it left the departmental pool. The locomotive would be cut up in 1980 by BR at Thornaby, all traces of the locomotive were gone by the end of May.</p> <h3>Specification</h3> <ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 12.4</li> <li>Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 5</li> <li>Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 3.5</li> <li>Item Weight - Without Packaging: 0.2</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:76 Scale 00 Gauge</li> <li>Finish: Painted</li> <li>Colour: Green</li> <li>Gauge: OO</li> <li>DCC Status: Sound fitted</li> <li>Operator: BR</li> <li>Designer: BREL</li> <li>Wheel Configuration: 0-6-0</li> <li>Livery: BR Green</li> <li>Minimum Curve (mm): Radius 1</li> <li>Motor: 5 Pole Skew wound</li> <li>Number of Parts: 1</li> <li>Class: Class 08</li> <li>Buffer Type: Sprung Metal Buffers</li> <li>Coupling Type: NEM Tension Lock</li> </ul>

**Unleash the Legend: The LNER Gresley A4 – A Piece of Railway History** Step back in time to an era of daring speed and unparalleled engineering brilliance with this meticulously crafted LNER Gresley A4 Pacific locomotive. More than just a model, this is a tangible piece of British railway heritage, born from a relentless pursuit of speed and a visionary design by Sir Nigel Gresley himself. Inspired by the pioneering Fliegende Hamburger and the record-breaking Burlington Zephyr, Gresley set out to create a locomotive that would redefine express passenger travel. Witness the birth of the iconic “Silver Jubilee” trains – a marvel of engineering boasting a revolutionary streamlined steam circuit, increased boiler pressure, and an extended firebox – all designed to consume less coal and water and maximize performance. Legend has it, the very shape of the A4’s chimney was inadvertently influenced by a fortunate thumbprint left on a clay model during wind tunnel testing, dramatically enhancing smoke clearance and creating the signature, almost ethereal, plume. These magnificent locomotives, produced in four distinct batches between 1935 and 1938, were destined for legendary service hauling express passenger trains from King's Cross to Edinburgh, pushing the boundaries of speed on the East Coast Mainline. The most famous of them all, 'Mallard,' snatched a world speed record in 1938, a feat that remains unbroken to this day – a testament to Gresley’s genius and the A4’s incredible potential. This beautifully painted 1:76 scale 00 Gauge model captures the essence of the A4 Class 4-6-2 in stunning blue livery, ready to grace your layout and transport you back to a golden age of steam.
