The design initially featured headcode discs and marker lights at each end, echoing the 4-position train reporting system used on steam locomotives. More than half of these locomotives were allocated to the Scottish Region and for this they were built with two defining features. A bodyside recess was built into each cab side which could accommodate swing out tablet catchers needed for the semi-automatic exchange of tokens used for single line operation.

Meanwhile, BR had moved from the traditional disc headcodes for train reporting to a new 4-character alpha-numeric system and so the final 100 locomotives arrived with a new central headcode box at either end in place of the discs and marker lights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWith the introduction of the Total Operations Processing System (TOPS) in the 1970s the Type 1s were designated Class 20 and renumbered 20001 to 20228. The locomotives were principally designed for freight work but also saw service on summer passenger trains where train heating was not required. The Class 20s worked over the Eastern, London Midland and Scottish regions as well as into Wales and were commonly associated with coal traffic. The only drawback the Class had was its single end cab, unlike modern designs that have a cab at each end. BR resolved this problem by regularly operating the Class 20s as pairs, nose to nose, and with the combined power of 2,000hp they were able to haul the heavier block freight trains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eBR's decision to switch to Type 5 and in particular Class 60 diesels in the late 1980s started a gradual withdrawal of the fleet, with just 28 left by 1994.

The design initially featured headcode discs and marker lights at each end, echoing the 4-position train reporting system used on steam locomotives. More than half of these locomotives were allocated to the Scottish Region and for this they were built with two defining features. A bodyside recess was built into each cab side which could accommodate swing out tablet catchers needed for the semi-automatic exchange of tokens used for single line operation. The second was the cab side windows which were deeper, giving crew access to reach the tablet catcher fitted into the recess below.

The design initially featured headcode discs and marker lights at each end, echoing the 4-position train reporting system used on steam locomotives. More than half of these locomotives were allocated to the Scottish Region and for this they were built with two defining features. A bodyside recess was built into each cab side which could accommodate swing out tablet catchers needed for the semi-automatic exchange of tokens used for single line operation. The second was the cab side windows which were deeper, giving crew access to reach the tablet catcher fitted into the recess below.

Meanwhile, BR had moved from the traditional disc headcodes for train reporting to a new 4-character alpha-numeric system and so the final 100 locomotives arrived with a new central headcode box at either end in place of the discs and marker lights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWith the introduction of the Total Operations Processing System (TOPS) in the 1970s the Type 1s were designated Class 20 and renumbered 20001 to 20228. The locomotives were principally designed for freight work but also saw service on summer passenger trains where train heating was not required. The Class 20s worked over the Eastern, London Midland and Scottish regions as well as into Wales and were commonly associated with coal traffic. The only drawback the Class had was its single end cab, unlike modern designs that have a cab at each end. BR resolved this problem by regularly operating the Class 20s as pairs, nose to nose, and with the combined power of 2,000hp they were able to haul the heavier block freight trains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eBR's decision to switch to Type 5 and in particular Class 60 diesels in the late 1980s started a gradual withdrawal of the fleet, with just 28 left by 1994. However, 15 locomotives gained a new lease of life as part of the Direct Rail Services (DRS) upgrade and refurbishment programme which commenced in 1995, the product of which were the Class 20\/3s. Today, some of the Class 20\/3s remain in use on the national network, alongside a small number of original Class 20s which are now in private ownership.

The design initially featured headcode discs and marker lights at each end, echoing the 4-position train reporting system used on steam locomotives. More than half of these locomotives were allocated to the Scottish Region and for this they were built with two defining features. A bodyside recess was built into each cab side which could accommodate swing out tablet catchers needed for the semi-automatic exchange of tokens used for single line operation. The second was the cab side windows which were deeper, giving crew access to reach the tablet catcher fitted into the recess below.

Transportation) at the historic Derby Litchurch Lane Works. The ‘Turbostars’ are a family of DMUs that share a modular design, much of which was derived from the earlier Class 165 and 166 DMUs which came from the ‘Networker’ family of units.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstruction of the first ‘Turbostars’ began in 1997, shortly after the Privatisation of British Rail, with Chiltern Railways placing the opening order for new units that would go on to be known as the Class 168s. The first vehicles to be outshopped used ‘Networker’ style cabs as the new cab design was still being finalised and these units were allocated Class 168\/0, whereas later builds which used the new ‘Turbostar’ cab were Class 168\/1 and 168\/2. The Class 168s were fitted with BSI couplings at the outer ends, with electrical connections that were compatible with the Class 165 and 166s that Chiltern had inherited from Network SouthEast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first Class 170 units were ordered by Midland Mainline with deliveries commencing in November 1998, the first units entering service in May the following year. Like the 168s, the Class 170s were fitted with BSI couplings but with standard electrical connections, allowing them to work in multiple with Class 14x and 15x units. Construction took place over a seven year period at the end of which 139 units had been delivered in either 2-car or 3-car formations for multiple operators around the UK. Subclasses have been used to differentiate between the various seating and interior layouts specified by different operators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eConcurrent with production of the Class 170s, Southern ordered a fleet of Class 171s that were delivered as 4-car units in 2004. These differed from the 170s by having Dellner couplings instead of the BSI type at the outer ends, along with electronic destination panels on the bodysides. Southern had taken delivery of some 2-car Class 170s a year earlier and these were subsequently fitted with Dellner couplings and reclassified as 171s. In more recent years, inter-operator transfers have seen the Southern fleet expanded with further 170s which too have been converted to 171s with the fitting of Dellner couplings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, the ‘Turbostars’ are still in daily frontline service across the UK, working on both regional and long distant services for which they remain well suited thanks to their 100mph top speed. Class 168s and 171s are still operated by Chiltern and Southern respectively, whilst current operators of the Class 170 fleet include Cross Country, East Midlands Railway, Northern and ScotRail.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann Branchline","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53620247298385,"sku":"35-625SF","price":484.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0865\/4992\/2129\/files\/35-625sf_1.jpg?v=1777053338"},{"product_id":"bachmann-35-626-class-170-4-3-car-dmu-170420-east-midland-railways-regional","title":"Bachmann 35-626 Class 170\/4 3-Car DMU 170420 East Midland Railways (Regional)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Branchline ‘Turbostar’ is back with this brand-new model that has been designed from the rails up to create a new star for the OO scale multiple unit fleet.

Transportation) at the historic Derby Litchurch Lane Works. The ‘Turbostars’ are a family of DMUs that share a modular design, much of which was derived from the earlier Class 165 and 166 DMUs which came from the ‘Networker’ family of units.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstruction of the first ‘Turbostars’ began in 1997, shortly after the Privatisation of British Rail, with Chiltern Railways placing the opening order for new units that would go on to be known as the Class 168s. The first vehicles to be outshopped used ‘Networker’ style cabs as the new cab design was still being finalised and these units were allocated Class 168\/0, whereas later builds which used the new ‘Turbostar’ cab were Class 168\/1 and 168\/2. The Class 168s were fitted with BSI couplings at the outer ends, with electrical connections that were compatible with the Class 165 and 166s that Chiltern had inherited from Network SouthEast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first Class 170 units were ordered by Midland Mainline with deliveries commencing in November 1998, the first units entering service in May the following year. Like the 168s, the Class 170s were fitted with BSI couplings but with standard electrical connections, allowing them to work in multiple with Class 14x and 15x units. Construction took place over a seven year period at the end of which 139 units had been delivered in either 2-car or 3-car formations for multiple operators around the UK. Subclasses have been used to differentiate between the various seating and interior layouts specified by different operators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eConcurrent with production of the Class 170s, Southern ordered a fleet of Class 171s that were delivered as 4-car units in 2004. These differed from the 170s by having Dellner couplings instead of the BSI type at the outer ends, along with electronic destination panels on the bodysides. Southern had taken delivery of some 2-car Class 170s a year earlier and these were subsequently fitted with Dellner couplings and reclassified as 171s. In more recent years, inter-operator transfers have seen the Southern fleet expanded with further 170s which too have been converted to 171s with the fitting of Dellner couplings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, the ‘Turbostars’ are still in daily frontline service across the UK, working on both regional and long distant services for which they remain well suited thanks to their 100mph top speed. Class 168s and 171s are still operated by Chiltern and Southern respectively, whilst current operators of the Class 170 fleet include Cross Country, East Midlands Railway, Northern and ScotRail.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann Branchline","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53620247331153,"sku":"35-626","price":399.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0865\/4992\/2129\/files\/35-626_1.jpg?v=1777053338"},{"product_id":"bachmann-35-626sf-class-170-4-3-car-dmu-170420-east-midland-railways-sf","title":"Bachmann 35-626SF Class 170\/4 3-Car DMU 170420 East Midland Railways SF","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Branchline ‘Turbostar’ is back with this brand-new model that has been designed from the rails up to create a new star for the OO scale multiple unit fleet. Building on the success of the Branchline Class 158 with its low level, invisible drive train and comprehensive lighting suite, our new ‘Turbostar’ take things a step further with the addition of a Bach-Up Stay Alive System.

Like the 168s, the Class 170s were fitted with BSI couplings but with standard electrical connections, allowing them to work in multiple with existing units in the Class 15x series. Construction took place over a seven year period at the end of which more than 120 units had been delivered in either 2-car or 3-car formations for multiple operators around the UK.

Southern had taken delivery of some 2-car Class 170s a year earlier and these were subsequently fitted with Dellner couplings and reclassified as 171\/7s joining a small number of 2-car units that were built as 171s from new.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, the ‘Turbostars’ are still in daily frontline service across the UK, working on both regional and long distance-services for which they remain well suited thanks to their 100mph top speed.

Transportation) at the historic Derby Litchurch Lane Works. The ‘Turbostars’ are a family of DMUs that share a modular design, much of which was derived from the earlier Class 165 and 166 DMUs which came from the ‘Networker’ family of units.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstruction of the first ‘Turbostars’ began in 1997, shortly after the Privatisation of British Rail, with Chiltern Railways placing the opening order for new units that would go on to be known as the Class 168s. The first vehicles to be outshopped used ‘Networker’ style cabs as the new cab design was still being finalised and these units were allocated Class 168\/0, whereas later builds which used the new ‘Turbostar’ cab were Class 168\/1 and 168\/2. The Class 168s were fitted with BSI couplings at the outer ends, with electrical connections that were compatible with the Class 165 and 166s that Chiltern had inherited from Network SouthEast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first Class 170 units were ordered by Midland Mainline with deliveries commencing in November 1998, the first units entering service in May the following year. Like the 168s, the Class 170s were fitted with BSI couplings but with standard electrical connections, allowing them to work in multiple with Class 14x and 15x units. Construction took place over a seven year period at the end of which 139 units had been delivered in either 2-car or 3-car formations for multiple operators around the UK. Subclasses have been used to differentiate between the various seating and interior layouts specified by different operators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eConcurrent with production of the Class 170s, Southern ordered a fleet of Class 171s that were delivered as 4-car units in 2004. These differed from the 170s by having Dellner couplings instead of the BSI type at the outer ends, along with electronic destination panels on the bodysides. Southern had taken delivery of some 2-car Class 170s a year earlier and these were subsequently fitted with Dellner couplings and reclassified as 171s. In more recent years, inter-operator transfers have seen the Southern fleet expanded with further 170s which too have been converted to 171s with the fitting of Dellner couplings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, the ‘Turbostars’ are still in daily frontline service across the UK, working on both regional and long distant services for which they remain well suited thanks to their 100mph top speed.

The first vehicles to be outshopped used ‘Networker’ style cabs as the new cab design was still being finalised and these units were allocated Class 168\/0, whereas later builds which used the new ‘Turbostar’ cabs were classed as168\/1s and 168\/2s. The Class 168s were fitted with BSI couplings at the outer ends, with electrical connections that were compatible with the Class 165 and 166s that Chiltern had inherited from Network SouthEast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first Class 170 units were ordered by Midland Mainline with deliveries commencing in November 1998, the first units entering service in May the following year. Like the 168s, the Class 170s were fitted with BSI couplings but with standard electrical connections, allowing them to work in multiple with existing units in the Class 15x series. Construction took place over a seven year period at the end of which more than 120 units had been delivered in either 2-car or 3-car formations for multiple operators around the UK. The fleet is split into various subclasses, usually linked to the original operator and the train’s formation or interior layout as specified when new.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eConcurrent with production of the Class 170s, Southern placed an order for Class 171s that were delivered as 4-car Class 171\/8s in 2004. These differed from the 170s by having Dellner couplings instead of the BSI type at the outer ends, along with electronic destination panels on the bodysides. Southern had taken delivery of some 2-car Class 170s a year earlier and these were subsequently fitted with Dellner couplings and reclassified as 171\/7s joining a small number of 2-car units that were built as 171s from new.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, the ‘Turbostars’ are still in daily frontline service across the UK, working on both regional and long distance-services for which they remain well suited thanks to their 100mph top speed.

The first vehicles to be outshopped used ‘Networker’ style cabs as the new cab design was still being finalised and these units were allocated Class 168\/0, whereas later builds which used the new ‘Turbostar’ cabs were classed as168\/1s and 168\/2s. The Class 168s were fitted with BSI couplings at the outer ends, with electrical connections that were compatible with the Class 165 and 166s that Chiltern had inherited from Network SouthEast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first Class 170 units were ordered by Midland Mainline with deliveries commencing in November 1998, the first units entering service in May the following year.

Construction took place over a seven year period at the end of which more than 120 units had been delivered in either 2-car or 3-car formations for multiple operators around the UK.

Many of the new cement wagons, which were coded PCAs under the Total Operations Processing System (TOPS), featured depressed centres or ‘V’ tanks, but the ‘Metalairs’ built for Blue Circle Cement had parallel tanks.
