Accurascale ACC 3106 Austerity NCB South Wales Glendower.
Glendower was one of the 93 locomotives completed by Hunslet in the years after the war. Works number 3810 was completed in 1954 and sold directly to the NCB. This locomotive was moved directly to the coalfields of South Wales and gained the name “Glendower”. It was withdrawn from Hafodyrynys, Crumlin in 1973. The engine was purchased from the NCB and moved to the South Devon Railway at Buckfastleigh in 1978. It returned to traffic and proved a valuable member of the working fleet until its last boiler ticket expired in 1995. It is still at Buckfastleigh, cosmetically restored in non-operational condition. Glendower recreates a typical post war Austerity in unmodified condition.

Accurascale ACC 3108 Austerity NCB North West Warrior.
New to the NCB in September 1954, 3823 was allocated to the North West division, initially at Walkden Railways in Lancashire. It was fitted with a Giesl ejector and underfeed stoker sometime in 1966 before transferring to Bickerhsaw Colliery in Leigh and allocated the rather catchy number 63/000/432. Here it worked until withdrawal in 1983 although for the last couple of years carried the unofficial name of “Fred” chalked on the tank sides, along with a “locally made” squared Giesl ejector. Warrior was sold into preservation in 1984 to the Dean Forest Railway but has not run yet.

Accurascale ACC 3109 Austerity United Steel Company.
This attractively liveried Austerity was built in 1945 by W. G. Bagnall in Stafford and was one of the 377 locomotives built for the War Department and originally carried the number 75174. When demobbed, the locomotives was purchased by the United Steel Companies and put to work on the steelworks system at Scunthorpe. Externally a virtually standard Austerity, our model carries the heavy duty “Yorkshire” buffers that were fitted to the prototype when it was in service.

Accurascale ACC3107 Austerity NCB North East No. 59
This Austerity was another wartime product, this time from the Vulcan foundry, Newton-le-Willows. It was completed in 1945 and allocated the WD number 75310. Following war dept service, the locomotive was purchased by the NCB and allocated to number 6 area, North West Durham. Particular to this area is the cut back cabs on all locomotives for working the restricted clearance of the tunnel on the entrance to Lambton coal drops at the port of Sunderland. Another smaller feature on this locomotive was the relocation of the injectors to above the running plate ahead of the cab. Both of these features are faithfully recreated on the model.

The British Rail Class 21 was a type of diesel electric locomotive built by the North British Locomotive Company in Glasgow for British Railways in 1958-1960. They were numbered D6100-D6157. Thirty-eight of the locomotives were withdrawn by August 1968; the rest were rebuilt with bigger engines to become Class 29, although those locos only lasted until 1971.
The Dapol OO Gauge model of the Class 21/29 features:

Hornby R30485 BR REBUILT BATTLE OF BRITAIN CLASS. 303 SQUADRON No. 34053.
With sprung metal buffers and NEM tension lock couplings, you can upgrade this OO model to HM7000 control by adding a 21-pin decoder (sold seperately).
This locomotive was built in 1947 at the SR’s Brighton Works as 21C153 and named ‘Sir Keith Park’. It was built to Bulleid’s three-cylinder air-smoothed design with chain drive and an oil-bath for lubrication. Along with many of its classmates, it was rebuilt to Jarvis’ more conventional design with air smooth casing removed and Walschaerts valve gear fitted.
Withdrawn in 1965, it was later rescued from Barry scrapyard and returned to steam by Southern Locomotives Ltd. In 2024, it was temporarily renamed ‘303 Squadron’ at the Spa Valley Railway in honour of the Polish fighter squadron that fought in the Battle of Britain.
Hornby R30504 LNER K1 2.6.0. No.2005.
The LNER K1 Class is a must-have addition to your steam model railway. With sprung metal buffers and NEM tension lock couplings, you can upgrade to DCC control by adding a 21-pin decoder (sold seperately).
The ‘K1s’ were useful and versatile engines, working extensively across former LNER territory, but were mostly associated with north-east England and also the West Highland Line to Fort William and Mallaig.
No. 62005 was the final member of the 70-strong class to remain in service, being withdrawn from Leeds Holbeck in December 1967. Though it survives today in preservation, it was initially acquired as a source of spares for already-preserved ‘K4’ 3442. However, in 1972 it was donated to the North Eastern Locomotive Preservation Group and based at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, where it was restored in its own right, returning to steam in 1975.
Hornby R30559 BR Castle Class 4.6.0 SPITFIRE No. 5071
R30559 Hornby Castle Class 4-6-0 Steam Loco number 5071 "Spitfire" - BR Green with early emblem - 90th Anniversary
This locomotive entered service with the GWR at Newton Abbot in June 1938, initially named ‘Clifford Castle’, but this was changed to 'Spitfire' during the Second World War following the aeroplane’s pivotal role in the Battle of Britain during 1940.
It then spent most of its career shedded in the West Country, though after nationalisation, it had spells in the late 1950s at Gloucester and Worcester. The locomotive was fitted with a double chimney and four-row superheater in June 1959, before moving to St. Philip’s Marsh, Plymouth in February 1962, from where it was withdrawn in October 1963.
This detailed OO gauge model depicts 5071 in its original form, with a smart green livery. It also features sprung metal buffers, NEM tension lock couplings and a 21-pin socket, ready for upgrade to HM7000.
