R30395SSBR (Early) - Thompson A2-2 - 60501 'Cock O the North' (With Steam Generator)
The London and North Eastern Railway Class A2/2 was a Class of six 4-6-2 steam locomotives rebuilt by Edward Thompson in 1943 and 1944 from his predecessor’s P2 Class of 2-8-2 express passenger locomotives. Withdrawals began in 1959 with 605 ‘Thane of Fife’, followed by ‘Lord President’ and ‘Cock O’ the North in 1960.
Thompson Class A2-2 ‘Cock O the North’ is the latest detailed locomotive to be produced with Hornby’s innovative steam generator functionality where the locomotive creates realistic steam from the chimney of the model created by water vapour. Add this newly tooled design to your model railway today.
This locomotive also comes fitted with sound. It has a series of sounds true to this class of locomotive, and the sounds and steam effects are synced to the model's movement, creating a realistic ‘chugging’. This is all controlled by the pre-installed HM7000 21-pin decoder, which can then be operated by DCC or Bluetooth via the free HM7000 app and powered by a strong 5-pole motor with all-wheel electrical pickup.
For 2025, this model has gone through several tooling updates. These include the addition of a Gen 2 steam generator, which improves steam output and eliminates water clogging, the addition of an optical speed sensor for accurate wheel speed detection, a flickering firebox and a quick-release loco to tender connection.
R30394BR (Late) - Thompson Class A2-3 - 60521 'Watling Street'
Of the 15 newly built A2s, only the first, No. 500, emerged from Doncaster under Edward Thompson while he was Chief Mechanical Engineer. That was in May 1946 and, by the end of the following month, Thompson had retired aged 65.
The remaining 14 were built under his successor, Arthur Peppercorn, between July 1946 and September 1947. They had planned to build 25 in total, but Peppercorn cancelled the remainder while he made modifications to the design.
His new design became the A2 and the Thompson locomotives were designated A2/3s. No. 60521 entered service as No. 521 ‘Watling Street’ at Gateshead in May 1947 and was withdrawn by BR at Tweedmouth in November 1962.
R30455SR - Merchant Navy Class - 21C9 'Shaw Savill' (VE Day 80th Anniversary)
Built at Eastleigh Works, this locomotive entered traffic in July 1942 as one Oliver Bulleid’s unconventional air-smoothed ‘Pacifics’ and named after Shaw Savill Line of London, a well-known merchant shipping company at the time. Turned out in Southern Railway black with green-shaded ‘Sunshine’ lettering, the locomotive was painted into traditional malachite green after hostilities ended.
Renumbered to 35009 in August 1949 under British Railways following nationalisation the previous year, it was rebuilt in 1957 to a more conventional design and was allocated to Exmouth Junction, from where it was withdrawn in September 1964.

R30404GWR - Saint Class - 2999 'Lady of Legend'
As none of the original ‘Saint’ Class survived into preservation, the last being withdrawn in 1953, the Great Western Society purchased GWR ‘Hall’ Class No. 4942 Maindy Hall from Barry scrapyard in 1974 with the intention of rebuilding it as a ‘Saint’. The ‘Hall’ was a direct development of the ‘Saint’, No. 2925 Saint Martin being used as its prototype in 1924 by Charles B. Collett, Churchward’s successor as Chief Mechanical Engineer at the GWR. Work on the conversion finally got underway in 1995 and, in April 2019, No. 2999 Lady of Legend made its first moves in steam at Didcot Railway Centre.
R30405GWR - Saint Class - 2975 'Lord Palmer'
Entering service in March 1905 as the unnamed No. 175, the locomotive was given the name Viscount Churchill in 1907 and numbered 2975 in December 1912. In February 1924, the locomotive was renamed Sir Ernest Palmer, but when Baronet Palmer gained peerage in June 1933, it was renamed Lord Palmer in the October.
The locomotive was extensively damaged in an accident while hauling a goods train at Appleford in December 1942 and was finally withdrawn on 30th November 1944 from Bristol Bath Road shed after a creditable 39 years and nine months of service.
R40471BR - Kitchen and Buttery Car & Composite Restaurant - 7834 'Jolly Tar' - Coach Twin Pack
In 1949, two pairs of carriages were put into service on BR Southern Region to provide catering facilities with a difference. The idea came from Oliver Bulleid, the former Southern Railway’s Chief Mechanical Engineer, who had a track record of thinking ‘outside the box’ with his unusual air-smoothed ‘Pacifics’, double-deck carriages and cabbed ‘Leader’ locomotives.
Each pair consisted of a Composite Dining Car and a ‘Tavern Coach’. These were allocated to the ‘Atlantic Coast Express’ and provided thirsty commuters with a pub-on-wheels for their homeward journey.
Internally, each ‘tavern’ was decorated to mimic an olde English pub, with tiled floor, whitewashed walls, ‘oak’ beams and high-backed settles, all illuminated by ‘lanterns’. Externally, the paintwork was divided horizontally, in carmine and cream, but the lower section was lined out to represent brickwork.
The upper section had ‘half-timber’ relief and a painted pub sign, while the small windows had old-style leaded panes.
The dining cars were unpopular and were quickly re-fitted in 1950, at which point the mock brickwork on the ‘taverns’ was repainted in plain carmine. They lasted in service in their pairs until late 1959 but were repainted in unlined BR(SR) green in 1957. Similar pairs of ‘Tavern Cars’ operated on other BR regions.

R1288LNER Azuma High Speed Train Set
The LNER Azuma train set is the perfect modern passenger train set, with the train itself a replica of the Class 800 train that was introduced to the East Coast mainline in 2019. These trains were designed and built using Japanese bullet train technology that offers a faster, smoother and quieter journey. The Class 800s are bi-mode powered, which means they run on electricity where the line is electrified or powered by a diesel engine where the line is not, making them versatile on the modern rail network.
The train is made up of a drive unit at each end - one is the power car, motorised to power the train, and both have directional lighting. At the forward end, the lighting is white, and it is red at the rear. Finally, there's a passenger coach in the middle. It also comes with an oval of track with a siding, a buffer stop and a controller with a mains power supply.

35-945Class 13 D4502 BR Green (Wasp Stripes)
Although diesel shunters had been trialled by the ‘Big Four’ railway companies as early as the 1930s, it was not until after Nationalisation in 1948 that their use became widespread, culminating in the creation of the British Railways (BR) 350hp diesel electric shunter – or Class 08. Eventually 996 locomotives were built, making the Class 08 the most numerous of all British locomotive classes.
The 08s proved to be strong and versatile machines, capable of most shunting tasks, but there were some unique scenarios where they were not quite up to the job. One such scenario was at Tinsley Marshalling Yard, to the northeast of Sheffield; an enormous freight marshalling yard which opened in 1965 and was essentially a distribution hub where goods trains would arrive, be broken down, and were then reformed for onwards travel to other destinations. To aid the forming of new trains the yard employed hump shunting which allowed wagons to roll into the siding where their train was being assembled, however, to move these trains and propel the wagons up the hump for gravity to take effect, a new locomotive was required.
The solution was the Class 13. Formed of two modified Class 08s, the 13s had a greater tractive effort than any standard locomotive in BR’s fleet at the time, and by using two locomotives coupled together rather than one long-framed bogie locomotive, the risk of grounding on the hump was avoided.

35-777Class 69 69002 'Bob Tiller CM&EE' BR Blue (Large Logo) (GBRf)
The Class 69 Diesel Locomotive was conceived by rail freight operator GB Railfreight (GBRf) to meet their growing locomotive needs. With a requirement for locomotives similar in performance to their fleet of Class 66s, but being unable to purchase new Class 66s, GBRf turned to redundant Class 56s which could be converted into new locos with similar capabilities. As part of the conversion new equipment and systems were installed, including EMD 710 diesel engines, the same as those used in Class 66s. The pool of Class 56s to be converted included examples built at BREL Crewe, BREL Doncaster and Electroputere in Romania, with the conversion work undertaken in Stoke-On-Trent by the American company Progress Rail.
GBRf formally announced the project in Spring 2019 and the first locomotive, No. 69001, commenced running trials at the Severn Valley Railway in February 2021. The type received approval by the Office of Rail and Road in May 2021, allowing the new locomotives to be pressed into service.

With a requirement for locomotives similar in performance to their fleet of Class 66s, but being unable to purchase new Class 66s, GBRf turned to redundant Class 56s which could be converted into new locos with similar capabilities. As part of the conversion new equipment and systems were installed, including EMD 710 diesel engines, the same as those used in Class 66s. The pool of Class 56s to be converted included examples built at BREL Crewe, BREL Doncaster and Electroputere in Romania, with the conversion work undertaken in Stoke-On-Trent by the American company Progress Rail.
GBRf formally announced the project in Spring 2019 and the first locomotive, No. 69001, commenced running trials at the Severn Valley Railway in February 2021. The type received approval by the Office of Rail and Road in May 2021, allowing the new locomotives to be pressed into service.
