Gaugemaster have announced two new Class 33 locomotives in N gauge and a RTC livery Covered Carriage Truck in 0 Gauge are added to their GM Collection.

The class 33 diesel locomotives were built between 1960 and 1962 for the southern region of BR by BRCW. These locomotives were given the nick name of the "Crompton Class" due to the brand of electrical equipment used in the design.
These locomotives were able to haul both passenger and freight stock with ease and many of them still remain in preservation.
These great little models feature lots of details including etched grills, directional lighting and finely printed external logos and numbering.
Two new versions based on the Dapol model features a detailed body with etched grills, cast wheels with fine relief, a Tungsten chassis and all wheel pickup, expected Q4 2022, to pre-order at £129.95, click the links below:
