BR 0-6-0 DIESEL ELECTRIC SHUNTER, CLASS 08 Two running numbers

The LMS first experimented with Diesel shunting locomotives before the Second World War and the Class 08 design owes much to the work done prior

to the nationalisation. At 49 Tons and with a traction of 35,000lbs, the 08's were more than suited for their task. Type 7 motor fitted to SSPP chassis.

Length 124mm. Code: R2157

BR CO-CO DIESEL ELECTRIC CL58 LOCO "58050" WEATHER EDITION

There were 50 of these Ruston Paxman 12 cylinder powered locomotives built between 1983 & 1987 most of which are used to haul 'merry-go-round' trains. The colouring on this model is that of Railfreight coal sector livery and consequently does not look out of place with a weathered appearance. A type motor powers the model.

Length 252mm. Code: R2252

EWS CO-CO DIESEL ELECTRIC CLASS 37 (MULTIPLE WORKING), WEATHERED EDITION

The class 37 was designed as a mixed traffic locomotive and is as much at home pulling passenger stock as MGR's. Their distinctive engine roar supplied by a 12 cylinder English Electric motor emphasised the power that these locomotives have. The Hornby example has two 37's working 'closed coupled' a sight quite often seen on the BR network. Power is provided by a ringfield motor located in the leading model with both locomotives benefiting from the weathered effect.
