S&DR 200th Anniversary 0-4-0 Locomotion No1 1925 (R30388)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
‘Locomotion No. 1’ earned its place in history as the world’s first steam locomotive to haul a passenger train on a public railway, when it ‘opened’ the Stockton & Darlington Railway in 1825.
Its importance was recognised at an early stage, and it became one of the first locomotives to be preserved when it was rescued from scrap in 1856 by Joseph Pease and his family. It was steamed again for the S&DR’s Golden Jubilee in 1875, but for most of the time between 1892 and 1975, ‘Locomotion No. 1’ was on static display at Darlington Bank Top station.
During 1924, however, it received a full cosmetic restoration in readiness for the centenary celebrations of the S&DR in 1925 and, during the celebratory cavalcade, it hauled ten replica chaldron waggons and the ‘company coach’ propelled by a petrol engine hidden in a specially built tender.
This model comes fitted with a Next 18 pin socket but due to the locomotives size limitations sadly it cannot take a HM7000 Next 18 pin decoder.

BR Stanier 5MT Black 5 "44748" Late Caprotti (R30389)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
Although the LMS ‘Black Five’ was a huge success, Stanier’s successor George Ivatt made a number of experimental modifications which resulted in some unusual variants from 1947 onward. No. 44748 was the first of a batch of 20 built with Caprotti valve gear at Crewe Works. Under this arrangement, the locomotive’s valve gear was driven by a single shaft between the frames, connected to the locomotive’s leading axle with a bevel gear. The modifications resulted in an unusual appearance, with bulbous steam pipes, lower running plates with wheel splashers and a modified cab.
Less obvious was a larger wheel spacing between the centre and rear driving wheels. New to Longsight shed, Manchester in February 1948, this locomotive carried the temporary identification M4748 before being allocated its BR number 44748. Other than a brief spell at Derby shed, it remained a Longsight engine and was withdrawn from there in September 1964 and scrapped by the end of the year.

< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
Of the 15 newly built A2s, only the first, No. 500, emerged from Doncaster under Edward Thompson while he was Chief Mechanical Engineer. That was in May 1946 and, by the end of the following month, Thompson had retired aged 65. The remaining 14 were built under his successor, Arthur Peppercorn, between July 1946 and September 1947. They had planned to build 25 in total, but Peppercorn cancelled the remainder while he made modifications to the design. His new design became the A2 and the Thompson locomotives were designated A2/3s. No. 60521 entered service as No. 521 ‘Watling Street’ at Gateshead in May 1947 and was withdrawn by BR at Tweedmouth in November 1962.

BR Early Thompson A2-2 Cock O The North "60501" Steam Generator (R30395SS)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
The London and North Eastern Railway Class A2/2 was a Class of six 4-6-2 steam locomotives rebuilt by Edward Thompson in 1943 and 1944 from his predecessor’s P2 Class of 2-8-2 express passenger locomotives. Withdrawals began in 1959 with 605 ‘Thane of Fife’ in 1959, followed by ‘Lord President’ , and ‘Cock O’ the North in 1960.
Thompson Class A2-2 ‘Cock O the North’ is the latest detailed locomotive to be produced with Hornby’s innovative steam generator functionality where the locomotive creates realistic steam from the chimney of the model created by water vapour.
This locomotive also comes fitted with sound. It has a series of sounds true to this class of locomotive and the sounds and steam effects are synced to the model's movement, creating a realistic ‘chugging’.
The model also comes with extra detail such as sprung buffers, a die-cast footplate and a visual flickering firebox emulating the look of a real fire inside the locomotive. This is all controlled by the pre-installed HM7000 21-pin decoder which can then be operated by either DCC or Bluetooth via the free HM7000 app.

Dublo BR Early Princess Coronation Duchess Of Buccleuch "46230" (R30400)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
Also known as the ‘Duchess’ Class, Stanier’s ‘Princess Coronations’ were among the biggest and most powerful express passenger locomotives in Britain.
Thirty-five were built at Crewe Works between 1937 and 1948, many having streamlined casing. Ten were set aside for hauling the prestigious ‘Coronation Scot’ between London Euston and Glasgow. No. 46230 wasn’t one of those, but it was the first of the third batch of locomotives, which consisted of five non-streamlined versions, and went new to Camden in June 1938 as LMS No. 6230.
At Nationalisation in 1948, the locomotive became BR No. 46230 and was painted in lined Brunswick green as depicted by the model. At the time, the locomotive was based at Polmadie shed in Glasgow, from where it was withdrawn in December 1963.

In 1988, Australia celebrated its bicentenary and, to mark the occasion, the world-famous ‘Flying Scotsman’ was invited to travel from Britain to take part in a series of railtours that were part of the ‘Aus Steam 88’ Festival, arriving in October that year.
Already resident in Western Australia since 1977, in the care of the Pilbara Railway Historical Society, former GWR ‘Castle’ Class 4-6-0 ‘Pendennis Castle’ was moved by road to Perth in early 1989 to operate alongside its one-time rival ‘A3’ Class ‘Pacific’. This unlikely reunion occurred almost 9,000 miles from where a week-long locomotive exchange once took place between the LNER and GWR, in April 1925.
This LNER and GWR Train Pack celebrates that landmark event in Australia 37 years ago in 1989. Featuring OO gauge locomotive model replicas of 'Flying Scotsman' and 'Pendennis Castle', these highly detailed designs include sprung metal buffers and NEM tension lock couplings for smooth rake creation.

'Mons Meg' is a stunning example of one of Nigel Gresley's P2 engines, sporting a stylish green livery. It has sprung metal buffers and NEM tension lock couplings, with a 21-pin socket ready for upgrade to HM7000 control.
Nigel Gresley designed the P2s for hauling heavy express trains along the demanding route between Edinburgh and Aberdeen. Six were introduced between 1934 and 1936. The first three locomotives differed in appearance, the third having the wedge-shaped front similar to the A4s which was adopted for the remainder of the class. The first two also later converted.
Even then, 2004 was fitted with an experimental butterfly valve blastpipe bypass and the last two also had design differences, meaning that none of the six were built the same. All were subsequently rebuilt by Thompson as conventional Pacifics in 1943/4 by Gresley’s successor, Edward Thompson.

The BR Battle of Britain Class '303 Squadron' model locomotive brings military pride to your model railway layout. 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.

BR Rebuilt Merchant Navy "35028" Clan Line - Preserved (R30490)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
BR Rebuilt Merchany Navy 'Clan Line' is back in OO model form, featuring new tooling and a sleek green livery. This model locomotive has sprung metal buffers and NEM tension lock couplings and is a highly detailed replica of a popular steam engine.
One of the last of its class to be built, this locomotive was completed after nationalisation of Britain’s railways to Bulleid’s Southern ‘Merchant Navy’ design, complete with streamlined casing and chain-driven valve gear, entering service in December 1948. It didn’t receive its name until January 1951, during a ceremony at Southampton Docks.
Like all 30 members of the class, ‘Clan Line’ was rebuilt, in its case, during 1959, and remained in service until withdrawal from Nine Elms, London in July 1947. It was subsequently saved privately for preservation and is a regular main line performer, once hauling the prestigious Belmond British Pullman.

BR Rebuilt Merchant Navy "35028" Clan Line - Preserved - Steam Generator (R30490SS)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
The Bulleid ‘Pacifics’ were essential to express trains on the Southern Railway, later Southern Region network.
The first was introduced in 1941 with a total of 30 being built at Eastleigh Works with a striking air-smoothed casing, a modern boiler with thermic syphons to increase its efficiency and a unique chain driven valve gear. While the class was successful in this form, they had their drawbacks and in 1956 British Railways set about rebuilding the locomotives to improve reliability.
The modifications included replacement of the chain-driven valve gear, oil bath and inside cylinder block, as well as recladding the boiler to give the locomotives an altogether new appearance, in similar vein to the new breed of locomotives appearing on BR at the time.

BR Royal Scot Class 46100 Royal Scot One:One Collection (R30500)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
The next model from our One:One Collection is the elegant BR Royal Scot Class 'Royal Scot' locomotive. With sprung metal buffers and NEM tension lock couplings, this steam locomotive model is DCC ready - just add a 21 pin decoder.
First of the class, 6100 ‘Royal Scot’ entered service with the LMS in 1927. Designed by Henry Fowler as a three-cylinder express locomotive with parallel boiler, a lack of capacity at its locomotive works meant construction of the first 50 was awarded to the North British Locomotive Co. in Glasgow. The remaining 20 were built at Derby Works.
No. 6100 swapped identities with the much newer 6152 ‘King’s Dragoon Guardsman’ (built in 1930) in order to attend the ‘Century of Progress Exhibition’, Chicago, in 1933. As BR 46100, ‘Royal Scot’ was rebuilt with a taper boiler to its present condition in 1950. Withdrawn in 1962, it returned to the main line in 2016, but is currently stored at the One:One Collection, Margate.
What is the One:One Collection?
Imagine a collection of railway locomotives and other vehicles in which the subjects are not scale models but the real thing. The One:One Collection is a unique gathering of some of the most iconic and historically important railway locomotives, rolling stock and memorabilia in the United Kingdom.
Each vehicle in the collection has either undergone, or is undergoing, painstaking restoration to return it to museum quality presentation, with many of the vehicles being certified for use on the United Kingdom’s rail network. From time to time, The The One:One Collection Museum will host guest locomotives for periods of medium or long term storage and display.
When these locomotives are at the Margate warehouse, they will become honorary members of The One:One Collection for promotion and merchandising purposes. As part of The One:One Collection, we are pleased to showcase this model.
Please note: the One:One Collection Museum is still in construction and not yet open to the public.

A shining replica of the BR B12 Class, this OO gauge model is highly detailed, with sprung metal buffers and NEM tension lock couplings. Upgrade to HM7000 with a 21-pin decoder (sold seperately).
Stephen D Holden designed the ‘S69’ inside cylinder 4-6-0s for the Great Eastern Railway. First introduced in 1911, it was the last of 71 built before the Grouping appeared in 1921. However, a further ten were constructed by Beyer, Peacock for the LNER in 1928, by which time they had been designated the ‘B12’ Class.
Built at Stratford Works in 1913, 1516 entered traffic on GER expresses out of London’s Liverpool Street station in the November. In 1924, it was renumbered 8516, then 1516 under the LNER’s 1947 renumbering scheme. A year later it became BR’s 61516 and was withdrawn from Cambridge in July 1958.

This locomotive was one of the final batch of ten ‘B12s’ built by Beyer, Peacock in Manchester in 1928. It was renumbered 1572 by the LNER in 1946, but soon became BR’s 61572 in 1948.
Withdrawn from Norwich Thorpe in September 1961, it was acquired by the Midland & Great Northern Joint Railway Society and moved to the nascent North Norfolk Railway at Sheringham in 1967, where, since completion of its overhaul in 1995, it has been a mainstay of heritage services.
The original is currently out of ticket, undergoing overhaul, so the model is presented in as-preserved condition – the only surviving example of a British inside-cylinder 4-6-0. This highly detailed model features sprung metal buffers and NEM tension lock couplings for effortless rake-building.

Built in 1949/50, after the formation of BR in 1948, but to an LNER design that was instigated by Edward Thompson, with the conversion of a three-cylinder ‘K4’ at Darlington in 1945, the two-cylinder ‘K1s’ were much modified by Thompson’s successor as Chief Mechanical Engineer, Arthur H Peppercorn.
No.62046 emerged from the North British Locomotive Works in Glasgow in October 1949 and was first allocated to Darlington shed. After a reallocation to York (North) in June 1956, the locomotive ended its career there in February 1967 and was scrapped by Hughes Bolckow at Blyth during April.

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.

A lovely addition to any OO gauge layout, this BR Class 61xx Large Prairie Locomotive is gorgeous in green. With sprung metal buffers and NEM tension lock couplings, this is a deligtful, highly detailed steam locomotive.
The ‘61XX’ Class was a direct development of the earlier ‘5101’ Class by Charles Collett, with a total of 70 locomotives turned out at Swindon Works between 1931 and 1935. The main difference was an increase in boiler pressure, which was raised to 225psi and gave a consequent increase in tractive effort.
No. 6126 entered service in October 1931 and spent much of its career based along the main Paddington to Bristol line, with postings at Slough, Southall, Reading, and Didcot. Its last shed was Oxford from May 1964, where it was withdrawn in December 1965 and sent for scrapping at Cashmore’s in Newport.

For the first time, Stephenson's Rocket is presented as a solo locomotive, with a sleek yellow livery, fixed metal buffers and chain couplings. This highly detailed, diminuitive locomotive model is a must-have model for steam collectors, due to its historical importance and incredible model engineering.
This historically important locomotive was built in 1929 to participate in the Rainhill Trials, a competition set-up by the promoters of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway to find suitable motive power for its opening the following year. Built to the order of his father George (who was the L&MR’s principal engineer at the time), ‘Rocket’ was designed by Robert Stephenson and built at his Forth Street Works in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
The design was the most advanced in its day and ‘Rocket’ won the Trials. The locomotive then became one of four that took part in the L&MR’s opening parade in September 1930.

60033 ‘Seagull’ was among the four new ‘A4s’ built with double chimney and blastpipe in 1938, the remainder of the class not receiving them until the 1950s.
First numbered 4902, it was also one of a batch of six new LNER ‘A4s’ to be named after birds, as Sir Nigel Gresley had a particular fondness for breeding wild birds. ‘Seagull’ was one of three ‘A4’ Class ‘Pacifics’ used for the 1948 Locomotive Exchange Trials, in which the newly formed British Railways sought to test locomotives on the routes of other former ‘Big Four’ members, with 60033 working between London Paddington and Plymouth, though it didn’t perform as well as the GWR locomotives that were designed for the route.
The locomotive was withdrawn in December 1962 and scrapped at Doncaster the following year. In 2026 we have given the A4 a tooling update and the model now includes the new Hornby steam generator technology, working headlights and tender lights.

History:
Built in October 1941 at the Sothern Railway’s Eastleigh Works, ‘Cunard White Star’ was the fourth of Oliver Bulleid’s exciting and radical new 30-strong ‘Merchant Navy’ Class, designed for top-link express passenger work. The new locomotives had many innovations, such as chain-driven valve gear that was lubricated by means of an oil bath, electric lighting, one piece Firth-Brown driving wheels, and the distinctive air-smooth casing. The unusual French-style number 21C4 was replaced by the BR number 35004 in October 1949, following nationalisation of the railways. Rebuilt in July 1958, it was eventually withdrawn from Bournemouth shed in October 1965 and scrapped by Cohens at Eastleigh shed in 1966.
