The British Rail Class 43 (HST) is the TOPS classification used for the InterCity 125 High Speed Train (formerly Classes 253 and 254) power cars, built by British Rail Engineering Limited from 1975 to 1982, and in service in the UK since 1976.
In April 2021 RailAdventure signed a new partnership deal with Hanson & Hall Rail Services, while at the same time obtaining eight Class 43 locomotives, which will operate back to back to operate domestic services.
RailAdventure, who are based in Munich, have been involved in delivering new trains from Europe to the UK, for some time and the Class 43 units will be used to continue this service.
Detailed model of the GWRs large 94xx class 0-6-0 pannier tank engines. Larger than the earlier 57xx class the 94xx was considerably more powerful and a capable replacement for the small 0-6-0 tender engines built at the start of the 20th century.This model of the British Railways locomotive 9463 finished in plain black livery with the later lion holding wheel crest.

The DCC99 is the PowerPal and is designed to keep your locomotives running through dirty or dead track sections. Once a bad bit of track is detected the capacitors kick in and keep the motion, lights and sounds alive until power is restored. The time period can change depending on the decoder that the PowerPal is fitted to.Length 40mm, Width 14mm, Thickness 8mm, Harness Length 110mm.
Pack of 10 Honby clip style close coupler pocket couplings with NEM attachment.These couplings are ideal for use with Hornby and Bachmann coaching stock fitted with extending couplers arms which increase the coupling spacing between coaches on curves
When coupled these couplings form a solid bar connecting the two coaches, helping to ensure the coupler arms return to the 'closed up' position on straight track.
These couplers will couple with the Roco close couplers. The Hornby units are slightly longer than the Roco versions, so coach spacings can be adjusted further using Roco and Hornby couplers to find optimum combinations for your layout.
This all-new model is a high-fidelity miniature recreation of the prototype, sporting details such as metal handrails, sand boxes and pipes, brake hangers and separately fitted brake rigging, and a decorated cab backhead. Daylight is visible beneath the boiler, just as it should be, below which a representation of the inside motion has been moulded onto the chassis. The model is powered by a coreless motor, with electrical pickup from all wheels whilst each axle runs in a pair of separate metal bearings. DCC provision is by way of a 6 pin decoder socket located in the cab, however due to the limited space available a very small decoder such as the Bachmann 6 Pin Micro decoder (36-571) is required for this model.
The Manchester Ship Canal was an early adopter of the Austerity Saddle Tank for private use and this model is decorated in the attractive grey livery of the company.
DCC Ready. 6-pin decoder required for DCC operation.

The 21 pin version measures 15mm across the connector, 17mm length. 10 years warranty against failure in normal use.
A detailed OO gauge model of the JHA aggregate hopper wagons built by Powell Duffryn for ARC, initially painted in ARC livery, later repainted into Hanson Aggregates colours. This fleet of wagons is notable due to the use of the inside bearing TF1 bogies and trains are normally formed with a number of bufferless 'middle' wagons coupled between 'end' wagons which have conventional couplings at one end. Dapol have replicated this using buffers and tension lock couplers at the outer end of end wagons and knuckle couplers to and between middle wagons.Model of ARC PD type JHA hopper middle wagon 19823 in ARC olive and grey livery.
Following Nationalisation, the locomotive spent some time in storage, briefly being reinstated for two months in early 1953, before re-entering traffic properly at Tonbridge in October 1953, now numbered as 31552 and briefly fitted with a push-pull motor for just two months. In November 1961, 31552 was withdrawn whilst allocated to Ashford.
