BR Diesel Locomotives

The LMS ‘Twins’ – Nos. 10000 and 10001 – were the very first mainline diesel locomotives built in the UK and now, this pioneering pair is available in N scale for the first time thanks to Graham Farish.

This model of No. 10000 depicts the first of the ‘Twins’ which entered service with the LMS just days before Nationalisation in December 1947, and so carries ‘LMS’ in large chrome letters on the bodyside – the locomotive would carry these during its early years of BR-ownership and was so adorned until 1951. In this original condition, No. 10000 operated on the Midland Region hauling trains both alone and as a pair with its twin, providing additional haulage power and range.

This model of No. 10001 depicts the second of the ‘Twins’, which entered service under BR ownership, having been completed little more than six months after Nationalisation. Unlike No. 10000, 10001 was outshopped without LMS or BR markings and instead its black and silver paintwork was adorned only with its number in large chrome numerals below each cab side. In this original condition, No. 10001 operated on the Midland Region hauling trains both alone and as a pair with its twin, providing additional haulage power and range.

This detailed model weighs over 50 grammes to enhance the tractive effort and are fitted with NEM coupling pockets. An accessory pack is also supplied that allows alternative buffer beam details.

This model of No. 10000 depicts the first of the ‘Twins’ during the period after its time on the Southern Region – between 1953 and 1955 – when the two locomotives were trialled on the SR alongside the Southern’s own prototype diesel locomotives.

This model of No. 10001 depicts the second of the ‘Twins’ during its final years in service and makes a perfect addition to any steam/diesel transition fleet. Carrying the eye-catching BR Green livery with Small Yellow Panels, No. 10001 is modelled at a time when its partner was being withdrawn and 10001 was left to soldier on as the last of a unique pair of prototypes, sustained using parts from its twin, 10000.

Joining the Graham Farish range in the future will be the Western regions' class 14 'Teddy Bear' diesel-hydraulic locomotive.

These 650bhp locomotives were designed as replacements for the GWR pannier tanks, with a top speed of 40mph allowing their use on local and branchline goods trains.

This model carries the BR blue livery and TOPS number 14029. This livery was never applied to the class in BR service, but D9529 was painted in this scheme following preservation. Subsequently this locomotive has been used on the construction of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link and hired out for yard shunting duties on the 'mainline'.

One of the first designs of diesel locomotive to enter service the Derby type 2, later class 24 took over from steam power on many classic branch lines.

This model is painted in the BR blue livery of the 1970s with TOPS number 24035. Following the closure of many minor routes the 24s were withdrawn during the 1970s and many remember these pioneers of diesel traction during their last years.

This all new model from the Bachmann Graham Farish range is sure to be a popular addition to many modellers' locomotive fleets.

This model is painted in the BR standard BR green livery of the 1960s with original D series number, as seen when the new diesels shared duties with steam power.

Green was probably the main Warship livery, the class did not start receiving the maroon livery of the later Westerns until 1966, by which time the corporate rail blue livery was being agreed. Most of the class did make it into a variation of maroon for a brief time before the corporate livery wiped away the regional identities again.

A well detailed model of the BR class 47, the most numerous of the mainline diesel locomotives and the standard general purpose locomotive of the BR diesel era.

Gaugemaster Collection Dapol N gauge model of BR class 56 number 56032 County of South Glamorgan finished in the Railfreight triple grey livery with Metals sub-sector markings.

Dapols' model of the 56s incorporates many of the detail changes between batches, the most noticeable being the changes to the front grille and marker lights. Inside the bodyshell the diecast chassis houses a centrally mounted motor driving both bogies. A 6-pin DCC decoder socket is fitted to the circuit board which also controls the directional lighting.

The Graham Farish class 60 model features a highly detailed bodyshell allied with a carefully designed diecast chassis which keeps cab interiors clear and provides space behind the large bodyside grilles to show the body structure and visible internal equipment. A centrally mounted motor drives all six axles giving plenty of power for hauling long freight trains.
Wire handrails and sanding pipes and direction controlled lighting really makes the locomotive stand out when running.

Standard N gauge couplers are fitted, a small additional bag is supplied containing the deep headstock plates and plows, plus the air brake pipes for modellers wishing to finish their models with these.
