She, and the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen, left Gotenhafen on the morning of 19th May 1941 for Operation Rheinübung, during which she was to have attempted to intercept and destroy convoys in transit between North America and Great Britain.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWhen Bismarck and Prinz Eugen attempted to break out into the Atlantic, the two ships were discovered by the Royal Navy and brought to battle in the Denmark Strait.  During the short engagement, the British battlecruiser HMS Hood, flagship of the Home Fleet and pride of the Royal Navy, was sunk after several minutes of firing.  In response, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill issued the order to “Sink the Bismarck”, spurring a relentless pursuit by the Royal Navy.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eTwo days later, with Bismarck almost in reach of safer waters, Fleet Air Arm Swordfish biplanes launched from the carrier HMS Ark Royal torpedoed the ship and jammed her rudder, allowing heavy British units to catch up with her.

It is a Type 5 locomotive, with a Ruston-Paxman power unit developing 3,250 bhp (2,423 kW), and has a Co-Co wheel arrangement. Enthusiasts nicknamed them \"\"Gridirons\"\" (or \"\"Grids\"\" for short), due to the grid like horn cover on the locomotive's cab ends fitted to nos. 56056 onwards. Under its Romanian railway factory nomenclature, the locomotive was named Electroputere LDE 3500, with LDE coming from Locomtiva Diesel-Electrica (Diesel-Electric locomotive) and the 3500 being the planned horsepower output.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Class 56 fleet was introduced between 1976 and 1984, a total of 135 examples were manufactured. The first 30 locomotives (56001 - 56030, factory classification LDE3500) were built by Electroputere in Romania, but these typically suffered from poor construction standards and many were withdrawn from service early for extensive rebuilding before re-entering revenue service.[3] The remaining 105 locomotives were built by British Rail Engineering Limited (BREL) at Doncaster Works (56031 to 56115) and Crewe Works (56116 to 56135).\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eModel Features\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eGaugemaster Limited Edition\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDetailed

announce we will be producing our first OO Gauge Midland Railway locomotive, the gorgeous 483 Class 4-4-0 tender engine. It was only a matter of time before we decided to tackle one of the pre-grouping eras' most popular railways—the unquestionably beautiful and regal livery of the Midland Railway. As the turn of the last century approached, the Midland Railway wanted to improve services and modernise, whilst remaining competitive and comfortable for passengers. With a variety of routes between London and the North, it was important for them to be mindful of this fierce competition. However, with profits in mind, and the ever-growing weight and size of express locos being rolled out by their competitors, the Midland Railway wanted a way to achieve this goal without the costly expenditure of replacing or upgrading bridges that imposed restrictions on loco weights. Thankfully, this conveniently coincided with the Midland experimenting with loco wheel arrangements throughout the late 1800s, led by designer Samuel W. Johnson. By 1900 the 4-4-0 arrangement had won the arms race, beating the iconic ‘Singles’, as such, a multitude of 4-4-0 locos were built, these were designated as Class 2’s. With further developments in boiler designs and the advent of superheaters, loco technology had moved on quite a bit through the early 1900s, and with the aforementioned profits on the minds of the Midland Railways leadership it was decided that the Class 2s would receive an upgrade in the way of a ‘rebuild’. Utilising a variety of parts from the existing Class 2s, the ‘rebuilds’ received new frames, new larger driving wheels, new cylinders, and the newly developed ‘Belpaire’ G7S boiler, which were also fitted with Schmidt's superheaters. These rebuilds were assigned the class number 483. Though with that many new parts, it would be fair to say that the term rebuild could justifiably be put in inverted commas. The first of these rebuilds rolled out of Derby Works in Feb 1912 as No.494. Further batches were then completed by the Midland in 1913, 1914, and 1922, the LMS then finished the job in 1924 having inherited the fleet as part of the grouping of the railways in the previous year. By this time, they had been assigned the power classification 2P.

Conversely, the 483s were also used on freight duties, making them an ideal all-rounder for the fleet. With the joint acquisition of the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway by the Midland and LNWR in 1875, it was somewhat inevitable that the Midland would trial the 483 Class on the undulating and challenging terrain of the line. In 1913 two 483s ran trials on the S\u0026amp;DJR, and having proved their worth 5 locos were ‘rebuilt’ to bolster the S\u0026amp;DJR fleet. Both the Midland and S\u0026amp;DJR 483s would work stoically alongside their 2P classmates under LMS ownership, right through the grouping era, and into the nationalisation of Britain's railways. 165 483s survived into BR ownership, which included the 5 S\u0026amp;DJR locos. Sadly, none of the class survived into preservation, with their withdrawal and scrapping happening throughout the 1950s.

It was only a matter of time before we decided to tackle one of the pre-grouping eras' most popular railways—the unquestionably beautiful and regal livery of the Midland Railway. As the turn of the last century approached, the Midland Railway wanted to improve services and modernise, whilst remaining competitive and comfortable for passengers. With a variety of routes between London and the North, it was important for them to be mindful of this fierce competition. However, with profits in mind, and the ever-growing weight and size of express locos being rolled out by their competitors, the Midland Railway wanted a way to achieve this goal without the costly expenditure of replacing or upgrading bridges that imposed restrictions on loco weights. Thankfully, this conveniently coincided with the Midland experimenting with loco wheel arrangements throughout the late 1800s, led by designer Samuel W. Johnson. By 1900 the 4-4-0 arrangement had won the arms race, beating the iconic ‘Singles’, as such, a multitude of 4-4-0 locos were built, these were designated as Class 2’s. With further developments in boiler designs and the advent of superheaters, loco technology had moved on quite a bit through the early 1900s, and with the aforementioned profits on the minds of the Midland Railways leadership it was decided that the Class 2s would receive an upgrade in the way of a ‘rebuild’. Utilising a variety of parts from the existing Class 2s, the ‘rebuilds’ received new frames, new larger driving wheels, new cylinders, and the newly developed ‘Belpaire’ G7S boiler, which were also fitted with Schmidt's superheaters. These rebuilds were assigned the class number 483. Though with that many new parts, it would be fair to say that the term rebuild could justifiably be put in inverted commas. The first of these rebuilds rolled out of Derby Works in Feb 1912 as No.494. Further batches were then completed by the Midland in 1913, 1914, and 1922, the LMS then finished the job in 1924 having inherited the fleet as part of the grouping of the railways in the previous year. By this time, they had been assigned the power classification 2P. The design for the 483 Class would go on to inspire a plethora of well-known LMS locos, such as the famous ‘Compounds’, becoming a key link between the evolving designs of the early pre-grouping era, and the later designs of the Big Four.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProving to live up to the task at hand, the Midland even assigned 483 No.502 to Royal Train duties, keeping it in immaculate condition at all times. Conversely, the 483s were also used on freight duties, making them an ideal all-rounder for the fleet. With the joint acquisition of the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway by the Midland and LNWR in 1875, it was somewhat inevitable that the Midland would trial the 483 Class on the undulating and challenging terrain of the line. In 1913 two 483s ran trials on the S\u0026amp;DJR, and having proved their worth 5 locos were ‘rebuilt’ to bolster the S\u0026amp;DJR fleet.

It was only a matter of time before we decided to tackle one of the pre-grouping eras' most popular railways—the unquestionably beautiful and regal livery of the Midland Railway. As the turn of the last century approached, the Midland Railway wanted to improve services and modernise, whilst remaining competitive and comfortable for passengers. With a variety of routes between London and the North, it was important for them to be mindful of this fierce competition. However, with profits in mind, and the ever-growing weight and size of express locos being rolled out by their competitors, the Midland Railway wanted a way to achieve this goal without the costly expenditure of replacing or upgrading bridges that imposed restrictions on loco weights. Thankfully, this conveniently coincided with the Midland experimenting with loco wheel arrangements throughout the late 1800s, led by designer Samuel W. Johnson. By 1900 the 4-4-0 arrangement had won the arms race, beating the iconic ‘Singles’, as such, a multitude of 4-4-0 locos were built, these were designated as Class 2’s. With further developments in boiler designs and the advent of superheaters, loco technology had moved on quite a bit through the early 1900s, and with the aforementioned profits on the minds of the Midland Railways leadership it was decided that the Class 2s would receive an upgrade in the way of a ‘rebuild’. Utilising a variety of parts from the existing Class 2s, the ‘rebuilds’ received new frames, new larger driving wheels, new cylinders, and the newly developed ‘Belpaire’ G7S boiler, which were also fitted with Schmidt's superheaters. These rebuilds were assigned the class number 483. Though with that many new parts, it would be fair to say that the term rebuild could justifiably be put in inverted commas. The first of these rebuilds rolled out of Derby Works in Feb 1912 as No.494. Further batches were then completed by the Midland in 1913, 1914, and 1922, the LMS then finished the job in 1924 having inherited the fleet as part of the grouping of the railways in the previous year. By this time, they had been assigned the power classification 2P. The design for the 483 Class would go on to inspire a plethora of well-known LMS locos, such as the famous ‘Compounds’, becoming a key link between the evolving designs of the early pre-grouping era, and the later designs of the Big Four.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProving to live up to the task at hand, the Midland even assigned 483 No.502 to Royal Train duties, keeping it in immaculate condition at all times. Conversely, the 483s were also used on freight duties, making them an ideal all-rounder for the fleet. With the joint acquisition of the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway by the Midland and LNWR in 1875, it was somewhat inevitable that the Midland would trial the 483 Class on the undulating and challenging terrain of the line. In 1913 two 483s ran trials on the S\u0026amp;DJR, and having proved their worth 5 locos were ‘rebuilt’ to bolster the S\u0026amp;DJR fleet. Both the Midland and S\u0026amp;DJR 483s would work stoically alongside their 2P classmates under LMS ownership, right through the grouping era, and into the nationalisation of Britain's railways. 165 483s survived into BR ownership, which included the 5 S\u0026amp;DJR locos. Sadly, none of the class survived into preservation, with their withdrawal and scrapping happening throughout the 1950s.
