In 1990 a group of like-minded people came together in the belief that they could construct from new, a Peppercorn Class A1 Pacific locomotive. The first steam locomotive built in the United Kingdom since 'Evening Star' in 1960 and it would be built to meet modern safety and certification standards to enable it to run on mainline connected heritage railways. After a period of nearly 20 years the dream became a reality on the 29th July 2008 when locomotive No. 60163 'Tornado' moved under its own power at Darlington.

Having completed nearly 90,000 miles of test running since new, Sir Nigel Gresley's W1 4-6-4HP 10000 entered Darlington Works on 21 August 1935 for what was anticipated to be a major overhaul and modification. During this period Gresley decided that it was time to rebuild 10000 as a three cylinder locomotive with a conventional firetube boiler and 10000 was moved to Doncaster Works on 13 October 1936, the first drawing for the modification being prepared at the end of November. When 10000 was finally released from Doncaster Works in November 1937, it was a significantly different locomotive; being fitted with a diagram 111 boiler that was very similar to the diagram 108 boiler fitted to 2006 Wolf of Badenoch, and with a streamlined casing to the same pattern as the A4 class.
This model replicates LNER 10000 in wartime black livery lettered N E

In September 1937 the LNER introduced their East Anglian service, with the first train departing on the 27th. To celebrate this service, and to bring the locomotives more in line with several other recent LNER services which were all hauled by A4 locomotives two examples of the class were fitted with A4 style streamlining. These were designated the B17/5s.
'East Anglian' started out life as 2859 Norwich City, before gaining its streamlining under the LNER in 1937. The locomotive retained this streamlined shell into BR ownership until 1949 when the locomotive was rebuilt as a B17/6 in line with much of its classmates. The locomotive would go on to be withdrawn in March 1960 wearing the BR number of 61659 and was not preserved.

This model of the B17 includes a newly tooled body with full 'clothing' and cab detail. The locomotive features a 5 pole motor with flywheel and couples to rolling stock via NEM couplings front and rear.

2870 was introduced in to LNER service in 1937 as Manchester City, before being hastily renamed to Tottenham Hotspur. In September of the same year the locomotive would be renamed again to City of London and would be given its streamlined panels. The locomotive would be rebuilt as the B17/6 in April 1951 before being withdrawn 9 years later in April 1960 as 61670.

Number 61 was delivered straight to the S&DJR in 1922, the last of five locomotives to be delivered they would receive the internal power classification 5P4G, slightly higher than that given by the Midland Railway and the LMS. These 5 examples were built by Armstrong-Whitworth, as were all Midland 4Fs constructed in that year. The locomotive would become part of the LMS in 1930 and would receive the number 4561. Just prior to its entry into BR service in 1948 and its renumbering to 44561, the locomotive would be converted to oil burning albeit temporarily. The locomotive would be withdrawn in April 1962 and scrapped with haste after.

The Hornby 4F is a perfect tender engine for someone who has only ever had tank engines. This model is fitted with a three pole motor and gearing allowing for good slow speed performance. The models driving wheels are fitted with traction tyres increasing the tractive effort of the model allowing for more wagons to be hauled.

Locomotive number 46 was delivered straight to the Somerset and Dorset Joint railway in 1928, being painted into the 'Prussian Blue' livery with SDJR lettering. After amalgamation onto the LMS fleet in 1930 the locomotive would be renumbered to 580, and then to 635 in 1934.
On entry to BR service the locomotive would become 40635. Withdrawn in 1961, the locomotive would be stored at Llandudno Junction throughout 1962 before being scrapped in June 1963.

A unique livery for the J36 was worn for a short while by 65330. This locomotive started life as 7778 built in 1900 by the NBR before being renumbered 9778, and 5330 by the LNER under their two numbering schemes. On entry to BR service it received the number 65330 and had its tender lettering removed and replaced with that of British Railways. Despite this, the locomotive retained its LNER Apple Green livery. This combination of LNER green and yellow BR lettering is a unique one that the locomotive would only wear for a short time.

This locomotive features a diecast boiler, strong 5 pole motor and NEM couplings front and rear. The locomotive also includes a large detail pack including a snowplough to accurately model how the locomotive may appear during the harshest of Scottish winters.

The locomotive would go on to serve under BR, mainly on the former Southern region before being withdrawn in April 1967. United States Lines would be scrapped in Newport shortly after.
