Steam Train Model Locomotive Class A4 Silver King 60016 BR Hornby 1:120 Scale TT. The LNER Gresley A4 is one of the most iconic express locomotives in Great Britain, with its streamlined casing a classic symbol of the attitude towards speed and design in the 1930s, which saw increased competition to the railways from road and air travel. The LNER Board knew that they had to make travel between the major cities faster, comfortable and more reliable. Nigel Gresley, the LNER’s Chief Mechanical Officer, travelled on the Fliegende Hamburger diesel locomotive in Germany and was impressed by its streamlining, although he realized it was only efficient at high speeds. Gresley was certain that a modified A3 Pacific, with streamlining, could haul greater loads than other locomotives at the same speed or faster and a series of trials were conducted to confirm the A3’s suitability. With the trials successfully completed, the LNER Board gave Gresley the go-ahead to create the “Silver Jubilee” streamlined trains, the first of the new streamlined A4s. The streamlining of the A4s’ steam circuit, higher boiler pressure and extension of the firebox to create a combustion chamber made them more efficient than the A3 as they consumed less coal and water- especially later on when they were also fitted with a Kylchap double chimney. This improved their free steaming capabilities further. Their streamlined design not only made them capable of high speeds, but created an up draught of smoke, obscuring the driver’s vision, a major problem on the new Class A4 engines. The story goes that during wind tunnel testing, after several unsuccessful efforts to get the smoke to lift clear, a thumbprint was inadvertently left on the clay model just behind the chimney. This succeeded in clearing the smoke and was incorporated into the final design. 2511 Silver King was the 3rd A4 locomotive to be built, designed to pull the Silver Jubilee service. The locomotive entered service in November 1935 in the unique LNER Silver livery designed for the service. The locomotive would go on to work under BR before being scrapped in 1965, making it one of the longest serving A4 locomotives. Item Length – Without Packaging (cm).

Steam Train Model Locomotive Duchess of Montrose 46232 BR Hornby 1120 Scale TT

Steam Train Model Locomotive Duchess of Montrose 46232 BR Hornby 1:120 Scale TT. The story of the Princess Coronation Class is one of split personalities and purposes. The original streamlined form of the class arose from tests on Stanier’s development of the Princess Royal class locomotives. When the opportunity to produce five conventional versions of the Coronation Pacific as a comparison to the streamlined version arose, Stanier was quoted as saying,’They can have their streamliners if they b want them, but we will also build them five proper ones’ such was his lack of interest in a streamlined locomotive specifically. Those first five conventional locomotives were 6230 Duchess of Buccleuch to 6234 Duchess of Abercorn, colloquially known as Duchesses, after the first of this sub-class. Appearing in 1938 with a single chimney and without smoke deflectors, many purists regard these as the finest Pacific locomotives ever produced. Originally ordered as streamlined, the demands of maintaining the streamlined form exceeded the cost savings in coal and so they emerged from works without the casing, but with streamlined tenders (which had been completed before that decision was taken). The process of de-streamlining the remaining engines began with 6235 City of Birmingham in April 1946, with 6243 City of Lancaster being the last in May 1949. Locomotives that had streamlining removed had a distinctive slant to the leading edge of the top of the smokebox, where this was previously hidden by the panels and designed to accommodate them. Eventually the raked smokeboxes were replaced with conventional smokeboxes, so that by late 1958 the majority of the fleet showed a similar appearance for the first time. Duchess of Montrose entered service in 1938 in the LMS’ well known Crimson Lake livery being numbered 6232. It would wear this livery and number for the entire time it would serve with the LMS before being adopted into BR as 46232 in 1947. Under BR Duchess of Montrose would wear three different liveries, before being scrapped in November of 1963 at Crewe. Item Length – Without Packaging (cm). Item Height – Without Packaging (cm).

Steam Train with Tender Locomotive BR 58.40 Model 4-Dome Boiler DR 1120 Scale TT

Steam Train w/ Tender Locomotive BR 58.40 Model 4-Dome Boiler DR 1:120 Scale TT. The prototype The first steam locomotives of the later class 58.10-40 were built in 1917 as the Prussian G 12 at the Henschel works. By 1924 almost 1500 examples had been built by various locomotive factories for the Prussian Baden Württemberg and Saxon railroads. After the Second World War steam locomotives of the class 58 were found in both German states. The Deutsche Bundesbahn was able to dispense with these locomotives quite quickly and continued to use them until the end of the 1950s. And phased them out by the end of the 1950s. The Deutsche Reichsbahn on the other hand continued to rely on their service for a long time. On their service for a long time. Some of these locomotives were rejuvenated in the sixties. But they were also used in their original design until the mid-seventies. In particular became famous for the last service of the class 58 in 1976. The new Arnold model The class 58.10-40 is a long cherished wish of many TT railroaders. We at Arnold have always been aware of this. From the beginning it was clear that we wanted to show with a model of this legendary locomotive what is possible in TT gauge and that TT is not without reason the “gauge of the middle”. Of the middle:A robust construction easy maintenance fine details and excellent driving characteristics do not have to be opposites! And so development began with constructing the frame locomotive boiler tender running gear and housing from metal injection molding. We also attached great importance to scale and provided the wheels of the middle three locomotive wheel sets with fine wheel flanges. In order to achieve optimal driving characteristics even on old uneven track some wheel sets are spring-loaded. This ensures contact to the rail is ensured. Many of the model’s grab irons are made of overmolded steel wire and a driver and a stoker figure in the driver’s cab complete the shapely and powerful steam locomotive model. The new Arnold model in highlights – Frame locomotive boiler tender running gear and housing made of metal injection molding – Depending on the model version the locomotive has a three- or four-domed boiler bell coal box and gas coal box attachment and gas tank on the rear end of the tender – Powerful five-pole engine with flywheel mass in the locomotive boiler horizontal – All wheel sets with finest spokes some of them with fine wheel flanges for a prototypical appearance – Three locomotive wheel sets as well as the center tender wheel set have sprung for optimal driving characteristics – All lamps illuminated according to direction of travel and switchable in digital switchable in digital operation – Many extra details where possible made of robust steel wire steel wire – The interior of the driver’s cab and the front of the tender were elaborately detailed – All model versions also available with sound The sound was specially developed by us for this model – Couplings on locomotive and tender with Coupling mounts according to NEM 355 – Close coupling between locomotive and tender – Digital interface according to NEM 662 (“Next 18″) – Analog version prepared for the installation of a rectangular loudspeaker (15 x 11 mm) – Minimum radius: 310 mm – Length over buffers: 154 mm – Weight: approx.

Steam Train Model Locomotive Class 56.20 DRG 3-Dome Boiler 1:87 Scale H0 Black. Thus, the 1’Eh3 locomotive of the G12 class was derived from the 1’Dh3 locomotives of the G83 class. However, these locomotives fell well short of expectations in terms of performance and fuel consumption, so that after 85 units had been built, preference was given to the simpler two-cylinder type G82 (1’Dh2). A total of 846 locomotives of this type left the workshops of several German locomotive plants by 1928. The main areas of use were central and western Germany in the Cologne, Essen, Hanover, Münster, Altona, Magdeburg and Halle(Saale) directorates. After the Second World War, more than 500 class 5620-29 locomotives remained in the Federal Republic of Germany; by 1963, they had been displaced by other locomotive designs and retired. They could be observed in service with the DR in the German Democratic Republic until 1970, some of them as shunting locomotives with special steps on the right front of the locomotive.
