R3869Dowlais Ironworks, Peckett W4 Class, 0-4-0ST, 33 'Lady Cornelia'
'OO' GaugeReleased: 23/12/24
Era 2Peckett Works No. 834/1900 was built new for the Dowlais Ironworks, which had been sold to Arthur Keen the previous year.

R30141GB Railfreight, Class 08, 0-6-0, 08818 'Molly'
'OO' GaugeReleased: 30/12/24DCC Ready (8 Pin)Era 11The 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.
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.
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.
While perhaps recognised as GBRf No.4, this example of the Class 08 shunter was officially known by the BR TOPS number 08818, a number that it was given in February 1974. Initially wearing the number D3986, the Derby built locomotive would serve with BR before being transferred to EWS at the onset of privatisation.
Purchased by Harry Needle Railroad Company in 2000, the locomotive was named ‘Molly’. As of 2024, HNRC lease the locomotive to GBRf, where the locomotive is still in servic

'OO' GaugeReleased: 30/12/24DCC Ready (8 Pin)Era 7No. 08570’s main duty in service was shunting motorail vans and sleeper portions at Edinburgh Waverly. It was painted in an Intercity Swallow livery. 08570 was withdrawn from service on 18th January 1992 and then stored at Motherwell. On 7th and 8th September 1993, the shunter was cut up by M.C.

Class 08 shunters are common, but our model of No. 08570 is a one-of-a-kind model. Liveried in a BR Intercity Swallow with intricate detail, this model is DCC-ready and compatible with our HM7000 8-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.
