Hornby Europa (precio EUR)

The humble building where the Bassett-Lowke blended teas and industrial urns start their lives; tea bush leaves are brought in from the plantations before being dried and blended on site. Then put in foil lined wooden crates they are then shipped around the world by the train Jockeys; the team proving they can be fastest on that run win the contract for that year. Compatible with OO and HO track and accessories.

So this is the new world; a world of mad science, Eco warriors beneath the waves and empiric wars. The three mast clippers are now too slow to get their precious cargo past the devastating submersibles of those that despise Empire, whilst the horse and cart falls constant prey to the tannin hungry lizards that slip through the time streams. But the tea has to get through, the world demands it. Build an imaginative world of innovative trains as they race the precious cargoes of Bassett-Lowke across a perilous SteamPunk landscape. Who will win the race? Compatible with OO and HO track and accessories.

Tea, Tea and more Tea...on the move and in bulk! Bassett-Lowke had the ingenious idea to put his tea factories on the rails. Why waste time drying and mixing the leaves at the plantations when it can be done just as safely on the move? Well, as safely as highly pressured boilers, threshing blades and drying ovens can be at speed! Compatible with OO and HO track and accessories.

Since the arrival of both rogue Cretaceous creatures (dinosaurs that slip through the open time stream) and the eco warriors, plantation owners have had to protect their crops from scavengers (dinosaurs go crazy for the tannins in tea). This protection is done by breeding and keeping tyrannosaurus rexes and feeding them from birth on red meat and fresh tea leaves. The tea makes them docile/tame enough to ride or even just let wander on your premises. Dubbed Tea-Rex, this modern breed of dinosaur is a plantation owners' best ally against tea thieves be they cretaceous or just opportunistic humans. Compatible with OO and HO track and accessories.

Designed with speed in mind over pulling power, the sleek curves and classic fittings were the brain child of Boston Grey himself. He said the idea came to him during the revelries of a particularly fun party. It was the chic engine to have and if Boston had one his chums would have one too (of course all subtly augmented and painted to the desires of their owner). Compatible with OO and HO track and accessories.

This 14T tank wagon was used to transport Trumulsion Cold-Applied Bitumen, manufactured by the Graphite Oils Co. of Grimsby. This example is typical of the tank wagon traffic that would be found on British railways in the 20th century. Tank wagons were divided into class A and Class B with the less common Class A wagons being built to contain more volatile substances.

Up until the mid-nineteenth century much of London's milk was supplied by cows kept in cramped urban locations. This proved unhygienic and as a result of a cattle plague this practise diminished after 1865. Around about this time the milk started to be transported into London by rail on frequent express trains. By the 1930s the volume of milk being transported had grown to a high enough volume that it was no longer deemed efficient to transport using traditional goods vehicles. As a result United Dairies ordered a series of tank wagons, with six-wheeled tankers proving to be the most effective design although four-wheeled wagons were also used. United Dairies ended up operating over three hundred such tank wagons.

Every year Hornby travels up and down the country meeting model rail enthusiasts and having a great time. This special Hornby wagon celebrates Hornby's 2021 roadshow appearances.

The 20T Coke Wagon, British Rail B448144 - Era 6 wagon model comes complete with planking and bolt details, has a grey painted finish and measures at 112mm. Why not try adding this as a well-fitting addition to a bridge or farm scene as well?

Until 1968, fully fitted freight trains were required by law to be carrying a break van at the end. The brake van provided brake functionality to help slow the train as well as acting as a space in which the trains guard could carry out additional duties such as paperwork. As a result most brake vans featured a stove and desk on top of the brake apparatus. The London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) built 2653 20 ton break vans between 1933 and 1947. These featured a wooden structure that spanned most of the frame, with open covered areas at either end to provide the guard with an excellent view of the train.

This 20T tank wagon features the livery of Cosco Products and would be based at Bromborough Port in Cheshire. This example is typical of the tank wagon traffic that would be found on British railways in the 20th century. Tank wagons were divided into class A and Class B with the less common Class A wagons being built to contain more volatile substances. Prototypically, this wagon would be found in the late 1930s.

Cumberland Tarred Slag wagons and tankers were often based in Cumbria, either at Siddick Junction or Warrington. This example is typical of the tank wagon traffic that would be found on British railways in the 20th century. Tank wagons were divided into class A and Class B with the less common Class A wagons being built to contain more volatile substances.
