From coal trains to contemporary heavy haulage — 60056 has seen nearly every chapter of the privatised railway era 🚆 Built by Brush Traction in Loughborough, 60056 entered service in May 1991 carrying Trainload Coal Sector colours and the name 'William Beveridge'. Designed to haul Britain’s heaviest freight flows, the Class 60s quickly became the backbone of the network’s coal and aggregates traffic during the final years of BR. As the railway changed, so did 60056 👇 🔸 TransRail branding arrived in 1995 🔸 EWS ownership followed after privatisation 🔸 Later it served with Colas Rail 🔸 In 2018, it joined the GBRf fleet Now wearing striking GBRf blue and named 'Great Gable', this hardworking veteran has been recreated by Hornby in impressive detail. 🔊 The sound-fitted model features: ✔️ 21-pin decoder ✔️ Pre-loaded HM7000 Class 60 sound profile ✔️ High-quality ‘sugarcube’ speaker for powerful audio performance And with our customisation options available at checkout, you can make yours even more unique 👀 💥 RRP: £294.99 🔥 NOW JUST £117.99 at TMC 😉👉 themodelcentre.com/r30355txs #Class60 #Hornby #GBRf #ModelRailways #BritishRail #Railfreight

A winter’s day at Warrington Arpley sidings — 15 December 1991 ❄️ Here, 20090 rests in a tired Railfreight livery, its cabside branding long gone and its final duties spent on MGR coal workings alongside 20140. By this point, the writing was already on the wall for the Class 20s… With pit closures accelerating and the powerful new Class 60s on the horizon, these once-ubiquitous Type 1s were entering their final chapter — their twin-working reliability no longer enough to justify their place in a rapidly changing railway. Fast forward to today 👇 Graham Farish has unveiled 20090 as part of its upgraded Class 20 range, bringing this end-of-era workhorse back to life in incredible detail. 🛒 Pre-order now at TMC to secure yours: tmc-direct.co.uk/GrahamFarishCl… 🎨 Don’t forget — our customisation options are available to make it truly unique 📸 Imagery: © Howard Smith (TS Collection) #Class20 #Railfreight #GrahamFarish #ModelRailways #BritishRail #Ngage

🚆 NEW FOR 2026 – Bachmann's Turbostars Highlighted once more by Bachmann today as part of its new Summer 2026 announcements is its Turbostar family of multiple units. Here, the Class 170 & Class 171 ‘Turbostars’, one of Britain’s most recognisable modern DMU families is brought to life like never before… 👀🔥 Born in the late 1990s at Derby, the 'Turbostar' family was designed as a flexible, go-anywhere solution for Britain’s changing railway. From their debut with Midland Mainline in 1999, the Class 170s quickly spread across the network, becoming the backbone of regional services from Scotland to the South Coast. More than 120 units were built in multiple formations, working everything from rural routes to long-distance cross-country services at up to 100mph. Then came the Class 171… a Southern Region evolution. Introduced in the early 2000s, these units were adapted for the south with Dellner couplers and modern passenger features, bridging the gap between legacy infrastructure and a new generation of trains. Fast forward to today, and Bachmann’s brand-new tooling captures that entire journey 👇 ✨ Announced variants include: 🔹 Class 170/1 in Midland Mainline – where it all began 🔹 Class 170/1 in CrossCountry – the nationwide workhorse 🔹 Class 170/4 in ScotRail & EMR – modern regional icons 🔹 Class 171/7 in Southern – the distinctive south coast specialist With two- and three-car formations (and more liveries no-doubt to come 👀), these models reflect nearly three decades of evolution in one iconic family – a true timeline of Britain’s post-privatisation railway in miniature. 🛒 Pre-order yours now at TMC and be part of the story 👉 tmc-direct.co.uk/BachmannTurbos… #Bachmann #ModelRailways #Turbostar #Class170 #Class171 #OOgauge #ModelTrains
