So we highly recommend that you place your orders now to avoid missing out on this incredible new tooling. These first releases depict this unique locomotive in two distinct eras - in 1986-1988 Intercity Executive livery and late 90s/ early 2000s GNER schemes respectively.

Last weekend, we were honoured to be a small part of The Greatest Gathering , the flagship event of the Railway 200 celebrations in 2025 - which was the largest-ever gathering of historic & modern trains and rail-related exhibits. We were delighted to be a part of the show's Model Railway Village and it was a pleasure to see thousands of visitors over the weekend. At the show we had time to showcase many of the exhibits on view and also caught up with some of our friends in the industry to compare their latest product samples to the real-life vehicles on display at the show. If you couldn't attend the show, or just want to relive the weekend - we've put together a video showcase below - including some interviews with model railway manufacturers! The link below includes further news from the event including sample models from manufacturers!
