EXCLUSIVE RAILWAY ICONS NEWS
We're delighted to announce our latest EXCLUSIVE OO Gauge model produced in partnership with Locomotion Models, the National Railway Museum and Bachmann Europe - the mighty NER Independent Snowplough! The North Eastern Railway’s wooden bodied snowplough is now available for the first time as a ready to run model. Used across the North East of England to keep important routes open during the harsh Winter months, the distinctive vehicles, most often used in pairs, can now find a home on your layout too. This impressive vehicle is supplied either as a single model in NER livery or as twin packs in LNER and BR colours. Engineering samples have been revealed with decorated samples expected shortly. Stay tuned for more updates on the project, with final delivery expected in 2026.

PROTOTYPE INFORMATION:
The North Eastern Railway had some of the most varied terrain of any pre-grouping railway in the British Isles. Whilst some areas of the network were relatively flat, the hills of the North Yorkshire moors and Northern Pennines resulted in several demanding routes with high altitudes and stiff gradients, many of which could be blocked by drifting snow and winter blizzards. These lines remaining open was essential to keeping the wheels of industry in Northern England turning, and to ensure this, the North Eastern Railway invested in a fleet of distinctive 6-wheel snowploughs, with the first being constructed in 1887.
