R30514Loadhaul - Ruston & Hornsby - 88DS - 97088
A total of 271 of Ruston & Hornsby’s ‘88DS’ four-wheel diesels were supplied mainly to industrial sites in the UK and overseas, and were rated at 80/88hp. Built in Lincoln between 1938 and 1967, seven of these were also used by BR’s North Eastern Region on departmental duties.
This model is finished in the distinctive ‘Loadhaul’ livery of black and orange. Formed in 1994 as part of the privatisation of BR, Loadhaul Ltd became part of EWS and subsequently DB Cargo.
R30515Glenochil Yeast Factory - Ruston & Hornsby - 88DS
Display the bold logo of Glenochil Yeast Factory on this 88DS model locomotive. This diesel features NEM tension lock couplings and a lovely green livery.
The 80/88hp Ruston & Hornsby 4wDM was a reliable machine and ideal for the modest demands of smaller industrial concerns. Several found use in Scotland shunting rail-connected whisky distillery yards – in this case the yeast factory alongside the distillery of the same name, located just south of Menstrie in Clackmannanshire, where sidings connected with the Cambus-Alva branch line.
Works No. 245030 was built in 1947 and worked the factory yard until 1969, when it was sold to William Kerr Ltd in Stirling. It moved to Babcock & Wilcox Ltd., boiler makers in Renfrew, in 1971, where it remained until about 1978, then presumably scrapped.
R30465LNER - Flying Scotsman & GWR - Pendennis Castle (Australian Tour) - Train Pack
n 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'
372-011GWR 49XX 'Hall' 4936 'Kinlet Hall' BR Lined Green (Late Crest
The Great Western Railway (GWR) was famous for its variety of 4-6-0 steam locomotive classes, and none were more numerous and successful than the 49XX ‘Hall’ Class. After a long period of absence from the Graham Farish range, the ‘Hall’ makes a triumphant return for 2025 with this brand new model that has been designed from the rails up to produce a masterpiece in miniature befitting of such an iconic prototype. These mixed traffic machines were found across the Great Western network and beyond, and the new Graham Farish models will find many stablemates in the Bachmann range – from other locomotives to rolling stock and Scenecraft buildings – all suited to creating an authentic Western scene.
