Maximum speed in service is 160 km/h, but it has reached a speed of 193 km/h Formation: 4 to 7 passenger cars White headlights, red tail lights, and fully illuminated passenger car interiors bring the XPT to life after dark.  Specifications All-Wheel Pickup Interior Lighting Directional Lighting DCC and Sound Ready (Next18) Zimo recommended Minimum Radius 280mm Contents 2x Power Car  4x Economy Carriages 1x First Class Carriage 1x Instruction Sheet

In 1988, Australia celebrated its bicentenary and, to mark the occasion, the world-famous ‘Flying Scotsman’ was invited to travel from Britain to take part in a series of railtours that were part of the ‘Aus Steam 88’ Festival, arriving in October that year. Already resident in Western Australia since 1977, in the care of the Pilbara Railway Historical Society, former GWR ‘Castle’ Class 4-6-0 ‘Pendennis Castle’ was moved by road to Perth in early 1989 to operate alongside its one-time rival ‘A3’ Class ‘Pacific’. This unlikely reunion occurred almost 9,000 miles from where a week-long locomotive exchange once took place between the LNER and GWR, in April 1925. This LNER and GWR Train Pack celebrates that landmark event in Australia 37 years ago in 1989. Featuring OO gauge locomotive model replicas of 'Flying Scotsman' and 'Pendennis Castle', these highly detailed designs include sprung metal buffers and NEM tension lock couplings for smooth rake creation. Add a 21-pin decoder to upgrade to HM7000 control.

The new locomotives had many innovations, such as chain-driven valve gear that was lubricated by means of an oil bath, electric lighting, one piece Firth-Brown driving wheels, and the distinctive air-smooth casing. The unusual French-style number 21C4 was replaced by the BR number 35004 in October 1949, following nationalization of the railways. Rebuilt in July 1958, it was eventually withdrawn from Bournemouth shed in October 1965 and scrapped by Cohens at Eastleigh shed in 1966.

It was one of only eight locomotives given a name from new, the remainder being named between August 1925 and the following February.  Isinglass was rebuilt as an ‘A3’ in April 1946, which included a new boiler to a higher pressure, matching 27 new ‘A3’ locomotives constructed between 1928 and 1935. Renumbered 531 in 1946, the locomotive became No. 60063 under BR and was fitted with a double-chimney in 1959 and smoke deflectors in 1961. It was withdrawn from service in June 1964 and scrapped.

This model of BR ‘Patriot’ Class 4-6-0 No. 45540 ‘Sir Robert Turnbull’ is presented in its post-rebuild condition, reflecting its appearance under British Railways ownership. DCC ready with a 21-pin decoder socket, the locomotive is designed with metal sprung buffers and NEM tension lock couplers. This locomotive started out as 5901 when it emerged from Crewe Works in August 1933, but was later renumbered to 5540. It was rebuilt with a Stanier taper boiler in October 1947, which promoted it from power class ‘6P’ to ‘7P’. It became 45540 under BR in May 1948 and survived in service until condemned in April 1963 and was scrapped by July that year.  The locomotive’s name, transferred from withdrawn ‘Large Claughton’ 1161, was in honour of Sir Robert Turnbull, former General Manager of the LNWR, who was knighted in 1913.

Henry Fowler designed the ‘Patriot’ 4-6-0 for the LMS as an upgrade of the LNWR’s ‘Large Claughton’ Class for express passenger work. Built at both Crewe and Derby Works, 42 and ten respectively, 52 entered service between 1930 and 1934. ‘Holyhead’ was new from Crewe in September 1932, numbered 5983, but this was changed to 5514 in August 1938, as represented by the model.  The locomotive would later be rebuilt with a Stanier taper boiler in 1947, before becoming BR 45514, with withdrawal coming at Derby in May 1961, the first of the rebuilt ‘Patriots’ to be condemned. This Hornby model of LMS ‘Patriot’ Class 4-6-0 No. 5514 ‘Holyhead’ is finished in accurate period detail as it appeared in the late 1930s. Designed for reliable performance on OO gauge layouts, the locomotive is DCC ready with a 21-pin decoder socket and if fitted with Metal sprung buffers and NEM tension lock couplers.

Weighing in at more than 400,000 pounds and with a length in excess of 80 feet and massive 5,000 horsepower tractive effort, the SD80MAC is one of the heaviest, longest, and most powerful single diesel locomotives in the world. Conrail was the first railroad to receive the SD80MAC in early 1996. As it would turn out, Conrail would be the only original buyer of this locomotive, even purchasing both of the demonstrator units. CSX and Norfolk Southern have since acquired these units, using them primarily in coal service.  Features Power five-pole KATO motor with dual brass flywheels Directional Headlight and preprinted numberboards Kato magnetic knuckle coupler DCC Friendly mechanism ready for drop-in decoder installation Drop in DCC compatible with the Digitrax DN163K2 or Train Control Systems K2D4

The smart black BR (Early) Class 9F makes a wonderful OO gauge model locomotive addition to your collection. With sprung metal buffers and NEM tecnsion lock couplings, this model is DCC ready with a 21-pin socket. New to March in Cambridgeshire in November 1954, 92031 was one of 251 ‘standard’ heavy freight locomotives built to the design of Robert Riddles between January 1954 and March 1960. Its working career took it to allocations at New England (Peterborough), Annesley, Westhouses and Newton Heath, Manchester, from where it was withdrawn in January 1967 after an incredibly short working life of just 12 years and almost two months. Scrapped at T.W. Ward at Killamarsh, near Sheffield, the locomotive was always paired with a standard BR1F tender.

Kato’s line of UNITRACK offers a variety of pieces and turnouts to allow you to build any layout your heart desires, all while ensuring track quality and steady delivery of electricity to your locomotives. Available both as individual pieces and as track sets! The UniJoiner is the basis for Kato’s UNITRACK worry-free design. As a Removable connector slip, the UniJoiner can be replaced in the event that a piece breaks (unlike other snap tracks there the entire section of track will have to be replaced), and can be easily swapped out for wired UniJoiners or insulated UniJoiners for more advanced layout wiring techniques. The UNITRACK Advantage Thanks to UniJoiners the connection and energy flow between track is firmly secured UniJoiners can be removed and exchanged for new ones UniJoiners can be exchanged for insulated UniJoiners UniJoiners can be used for both N and HO scale UniJoiners can be used for other companies’ TT scale and HOn3 scale track By removing UniJoiners, you can easily connect UNITRACK to flexible track UNITRACK can be used with analog and DCC UNITRACK can conduct 36VA (12V x 3A) UNITRACK has a wide roadbed for stability UNITRACK looks great with switch machines and feeder wires hidden away UNITRACK offers endless possibilities for creating layouts With Radii from R117 to R718, UNITRACK fits in spaces of any size Reliable and Ethical production in Japan
