TCB5 LMS/BR 46238

City of Carlisle

£2000.00

The twenty four original streamlined Coronation class locomotives were de-streamlined during or immediately after the end of the Second World War. This saved considerable amounts of maintenance time and also reduced the weight by two tons. This Loco represents the Class in late L.M.S. or B.R. days until withdrawal. It depicts the locomotive with restored smoke box and cut back streamlined tender to make 46220-9 and 46235-48.

TCB 2 LMS 6228

Streamliner in Maroon/Gold

£2000.00

Rivalry between the L.M.S. and L.N.E.R. railways resulted in Gresley producing the streamlined A4. To counter this Sir William Stanier introduced the Streamlined Coronation (or Duchess) class. The first five were produced in Caledonian blue with silver stripes to run with similiar liveried coaches. later batches of Streamliners were produced in standard maroon livery with gilt stripes to match standard coaching stock livery. In 1937 6220 Coronation held the world speed record of 114 m.p.h. By the end of World War Two all Streamliners had been de-streamlined to reduce maintenance time.(See kit TCB5)

TCB 3 ANDREW BARCLAY

£350.00

A range of outwardly similar 0-4-0 saddle tanks with a choice of 12, 14, 16 or 18 inch cylinder were built from around the time of the First World War up until the 1960's. Due to the varied use of these locomotives you can paint the body in virtually any colour you choose. The National Coal Board service were black and have one preserved in such a livery. The Orange liveried one was spotted at Didcot a while ago.

We can arrange a suitable meeting time/place upon further enquiry - obviously under safe conditions!
