R30346S&DR, 0-4-0, Locomotion No. 1
'OO' GaugeReleased: 23/12/24
DCC Ready (Next18)Era 11'Locomotion' No. 1 was an early example of ingenuity for the use of motive power on British railways. The Stockton & Darlington Railway ordered the engine in 1824 after its construction by the pioneering railway engineers, Robert Stephenson & Company, in Newcastle as an 0-4-0 locomotive in 1825. They initially ordered four engines, including 'Locomotion'. The fifth engine was a different design and completed in 1827. The original nickname of 'Locomotion' was 'Active', and this is how it was referred to until the summer of 1833 when it became 'Locomotion'. The engine only gained its number in 1827.
The locomotive made its historic debut on 27th September 1825 for the opening of the first public railway, the S&DR. It was driven by George Stephenson, and it hauled eleven wagons of coal, the carriage 'Experiment' and twenty wagons carrying many passengers in a world-first. After its debut on the S&DR, 'Locomotion' continued to run as a mineral locomotive until it was withdrawn from service in 1841.
It was decided that 'Locomotion' would be preserved for future generations to enjoy, and in 1857, the locomotive was restored at Shildon Works to resemble its original appearance. It was then mounted on a display plinth at North Road Station in Darlington. The locomotive visited various locations around the world and was displayed in places such as Chicago and Paris. In 1883, when 'Locomotion' journeyed to Chicago, it acquired a bell with the legend “Stockton & Darlington Railway”. The 'Locomotion' was also displayed in Liverpool, Newcastle, Edinburgh, York, Manchester, London, Darlington and Shildon. In 1892, 'Locomotion' was relocated to Darlington's Bank Top station. In 1924 and 1961, further restoration of the locomotive occurred at Darlington Works.
For most of its preserved life, the locomotive was based at the Head of Steam Museum in Darlington. 'Locomotion' was moved from there to the Locomotion Museum at Shildon (where it remains today). It was agreed with Darlington Borough Council that 'Locomotion' will be displayed for six months in Head of Steam in the first half of 2025, the 200th anniversary of the S&DR.
This 'Locomotion' No. 1 model reflects its preserved status and features the 1883 incorporated bell, the single chimney, the coal detail in the tender and green etched nameplates incorporating 'Locomotion'. A wood grain print is used to represent the wooden boiler barrel of the locomotive. This model comes fitted with a Next 18 pin socket but due to the locomotives size limitations sadly it cannot take a HM7000 Next 18 pin decoder.

R3908TPE, Class 802/2 'Nova 1' Train Pack
'OO' GaugeReleased: 23/12/24DCC Ready (21 Pin)Era 11The second operator of the Class 802 was TransPennine Express, their 802/2 5-car units referred to as 'Nova 1's as part of TransPennine's unique branding of the Class 802s built by Hitachi and given also to Great Western Railway and Hull Trains. The reason given behind the moniker, ‘Nova’, was that it evoked the “positive changes and explosion of energy that will truly transform rail travel for customers and so, they are known as our Nova fleet.”
TPE ordered nineteen five car sets of the Class 802 bi-mode multiple units in March 2016, and they were procured through the leasing company Angel Trains. Hitachi’s plant in Japan started working on Nos. 802201 and 802202 in early 2018, with the first bodyshell arriving in the UK in June 2018. The rest of TPE’s fleet were built at Hitachi’s Newton Aycliffe factory in County Durham. Testing of the first unit, No. 802201, began in September 2018 with trial runs from Hitachi’s Doncaster Carr depot. More trial runs took place on the East Coast Main Line to Darlington and then south to London King’s Cross.
With the units on test proving to be running fine, the first 'Nova 1' unit entered service in late 2019 with TPE operating the 802 on services between Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Scarborough, and Edinburgh. ‘Nova’ services on the West Coast Main Line started in December 2021, with four services operating per day between Manchester and Edinburgh (two in both directions).
These new ‘Nova’ units replaced a fleet of three car Siemens Class 185 DMUs and Class 350/4 EMUs. Compared to the old fleet where the Class 185 units contained only 181 seats, the ‘Nova 1’ offers an upgrade to 342 seats with 318 as Standard Class and 24 seats as First Class. There are five toilets on board with one universal access toilet, storage for up to four bicycles, free Wi-Fi, and power sockets for every pair of seats. An electronic seat reservations system is in place with green meaning a seat is free, yellow is a seat that’s partially reserved and red is a seat that has been fully reserved.
Taking inspiration from Japanese bullet train technology, the cab front features a sleek nose front to make the units light and aerodynamic. This aerodynamic shape enables the maximum speed to be up to 140mph in electric mode and 125mph in diesel mode. MTU engines were fitted to reduce harmful emissions to the environment. Trains can run in five or ten car formations for each service, and all are fitted with the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS).
This train pack features intricate detailing on the units such as the TPE ‘Nova 1’ branding with dynamic lines and the sleek nose front of the cab replicating the Japanese bullet train technology for aerodynamics. The models are DCC ready and available with a 21-Pin connection to enable digital control. A powerful 5 pole skew wound motor allows for smoother running around points and for greater traction.

R30333DB Cargo, Class 67, Bo-Bo, 67007 'Queen's Jubilee'
'OO' GaugeReleased: 23/12/24DCC Ready (21 Pin)Era 11The Class 67's were constructed by Alstom Meinfesa in Valencia between 1999 and 2000 for EWS. No. 67007 is operated by DB Cargo UK. The Class 67 locomotive was painted in a Queen's Platinum Jubilee Purple and White livery with the legend “Celebrating Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee 1952-2022” in 2022. This livery was presented by DB Cargo at the 2022 Toton Depot Open Day on 18th June. In the same month of 2022, a notable journey was made where 67007 hauled the Royal Train with No. 67006 at the rear. The locomotive ran from Wolverton to Windsor to pick up the Royal Family and transported them to their destination of Edinburgh before travelling south back to Wolverton.
Our model has a royal DB Cargo Purple livery with a Celebrating Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee legend, just like on the prototypical Class 67 locomotive. Special Platinum Jubilee logos adorn the bodysides. 'Queen's Jubilee' features a 5-pole skew-wound motor. This model is DCC-ready and is compatible with our HM7000 21-Pin decoder.

R30369BR, Class 09, 0-6-0, D4100 'Dick Hardy'
'OO' GaugeReleased: 23/12/24DCC Ready (8 Pin)Era 11No. D4100 was constructed at Horwich Works and entered BR service in September 1961 at Ashford. After moving to various locations, it was fitted with air brakes in 1968 before moving to Selhurst in July 1970. It became No. 09012 under the TOPS numbering scheme in January 1974. The locomotive was named 'Dick Hardy' in honour of Richard 'Dick' Hardy who was a Divisional Manager with BR and oversaw various railway changes.
After retiring in 1982, Richard became an author and wrote about railway heritage. The locomotive was withdrawn from service on 31st July 2010 and saved for preservation. In 2013, the locomotive arrived at the SVR under No. 09012 in a Departmental Grey livery. The Class 09 locomotive was overhauled and had its 'Dick Hardy' nameplates refitted in 2014. A BR Green livery was applied to the locomotive in 2015. D4100 is normally based at Kidderminster and operates as a shunter.
Our model replicates the preserved vivid BR green livery on the prototypical Class 09. Waist-level brake hoses are incorporated on the cab front with ‘Dick Hardy’ nameplates applied on the bodysides.

32-137B4575 Prairie Tank 4584 BR Black (Early Emblem)
'OO' GaugeReleased: 11/12/24DCC Ready (8 Pin)Era 4The 4575 ‘Prairie Tanks’ were some of the GWR’s most versatile locomotives and this Bachmann Branchline model brings the same versatility to any OO Scale layout set in the Western Region.
The charm of the prototype is captured in the Branchline model which features a highly detailed, precision moulded bodyshell that is adorned with a multitude of separate components, from the metal handrails and tank vents to the lamp irons, tank fillers, lubricators and whistle. Sprung metal buffers are carried on each bufferbeam and inside the small but perfectly formed bunker, a realistic coal load is fitted.
The chassis, powered by a substantial 3 pole motor, carries an 8 pin DCC decoder socket and is adorned with details like the springs, brake blocks, brake rigging and sand boxes – accompanied by separate wire sandpipes.
