Peco say "The first of a series of ex-British Railways 16 ton mineral wagons has arrived into stock, starting with this, the unfitted wagon in grey. Coded MCO under the TOPS system of BR, this was probably one of the most common types of wagons used on UK railways during the 1950s to early 1980s. Therefore long rakes of these would be quite normal. Being new tooling you can expect a step up on detail: crisply moulded parts, thinner walls to the body, correct 9 foot wheelbase, detachable couplings and metal-tyred wheels for free running. "

J6036 Airfix Quick Build Ford Mustang GT

What is QUICK BUILD?

Airfix QUICK BUILD is an exciting range of brick-based models suitable as an introduction to modelling for any age of 6 and up.

The pre-coloured pieces simply push together to build an impressive model which can then be decorated with the included self-adhesive stickers.  No paint or glue is needed to make these fantastic models look like the real thing, and once completed there’s no evidence of any of the brick fittings showing.  When built they are tough enough to be used as toys, or smart enough to use as display models.  Either will show off those great modelling skills!

Included with each model are a full set of easy-to-follow colour instructions, free-rolling wheels for cars and tanks, and display stands for all the aircraft.

Ford Mustang GT

The Mustang is the only original Ford model to remain in uninterrupted production over five decades of development and revision.  Over 10 million Mustangs have been produced in the U.S. alone.  The latest GT is a muscle car for the 21^st century, with not only the usual Mustang engine grunt, but also an eco-version as well.  45 parts make up this dramatic muscle car.

Bachmann say "NEW RMC ROUTEMASTER COACHES FROM EFE ROAD - Today (Saturday 20th July 2024) during the Routemaster Association’s ‘Routemaster 70’ event at Chiswick Park, London, Bachmann Europe Plc unveiled four new 1:76 scale RMC Routemaster coaches as part of its expanding EFE Road range of diecast collectables.

The new models come hot on the heels of EFE Road’s four standard AEC Routemaster models announced in April, and continue this year’s celebrations marking 70 years since the very first Routemaster prototype, RM1, was unveiled to the world in 1954.

EFE Road spokesman, Gary Boyd-Hope, said: “We are delighted to add the RMCs to EFE Road’s growing range as we continue to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Routemaster. For this announcement we have selected RMCs that offer something a little different from what has come before, and have included the preserved RMC1490, which continues to see active service in Shropshire and North Wales.”

The four models are expected to reach retailers during August 2024"

Development of the Routemaster bus started back in 1947, with design by London Transport (LT), and construction being undertaken at LT’s Chiswick Works, assisted by Park Royal Vehicles, and using mechanical units provided by sister company AEC. The prototype emerged in 1954, and the first production examples entered service in 1959. From then until 1968, some 2,876 Routemasters of varying types and were constructed.

The RMCs were introduced in 1962 to work on London Transport’s Green Line cross-London and suburban services. They were a direct development of the standard RM, and while visually very similar, they differed in having twin headlamps, electrically operated platform doors, more comfortable seats with increased legroom, and the addition of luggage racks. A higher rear axle ratio, rear air suspension, and increased fuel capacity also set the RMCs apart from the RMs.

A total of 68 were built, seeing service with Green Line and later London Country, before all were bought back by London Transport. Many ended up as driver trainers, but seven were reinstated as passenger carriers in 1989 for the new X15 route; the latter remaining in traffic until the early 1990s, although some continued in use well into the 2000s.

Our model depicts RMC1502 (registration 502CLT), which entered Green Line service at Garston Garage in November 1962, working Route 719. It was rebodied five years later and reallocated to Grays Garage, and in January 1970 transferred to London Country Bus Services. Our model represents the bus during this period, working on Route 370 to Tilbury Ferry.

After spells at Dartford and Hemel Hempstead, it was bought back by London Transport in early 1979 to serve as a driver trainer, being repainted into LT red in 1985. It was withdrawn from New Cross in December 1987 and scrapped the following year.

• Authentically detailed die-cast model from EFE Road

• Complementary to OO scale model railways (1:76 scale)

Bachmann say "NEW RMC ROUTEMASTER COACHES FROM EFE ROAD

Today (Saturday 20th July 2024) during the Routemaster Association’s ‘Routemaster 70’ event at Chiswick Park, London, Bachmann Europe Plc unveiled four new 1:76 scale RMC Routemaster coaches as part of its expanding EFE Road range of diecast collectables.

The new models come hot on the heels of EFE Road’s four standard AEC Routemaster models announced in April, and continue this year’s celebrations marking 70 years since the very first Routemaster prototype, RM1, was unveiled to the world in 1954.

The four new EFE Road models represent examples of RMC during various stages of their London careers. Like the RM models, they have been produced using EFE Road’s refined Routemaster tooling, and now feature such enhancements as bodyside panel lines, plus highly detailed liveries and advertisements were appropriate.

EFE Road spokesman, Gary Boyd-Hope, said: “We are delighted to add the RMCs to EFE Road’s growing range as we continue to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Routemaster.

RMC1490 entered Green Line service at Epping Garage in October 1962, and from then until the London Country takeover in 1970, worked out of Harlow, Hatfield and Guildford amongst other garages. In March 1973 it received an all-over London & Manchester Assurance advertising livery, and spent the next few years roving between Grays, Northfleet and Reigate garages. It received NBC green in 1977, but in June 1979 was bought back by London Transport to serve as a driver trainer.

In March 1989 RMC1490 was refurbished for the Route X15 service, receiving a striking red and gold paint scheme, which is how our new model is depicted. It joined the Stagecoach fleet in November 1993, later finding its way to Scotland, and seeing service in North Wales on Ffestiniog Railway special services before being bought for preservation in 1999. Its X15 livery was restored in 2017, the same year that it was acquired by current owner – Regional Transport of Shrewsbury.

Key benefits include a reasonable amount of foreground to allow realistic blending with countoured scenery, printing on 150gsm silk paper for durability and although different numbered backscenes are not completely compatible, unique scenes can be created with a clever use of scenic breaks.

This Medium backscene measures 2038mm x 288mm split into 3 equally sized Sections and is primarily designed for use with TT scales.

This backscene features a typical English village/small town with houses climbing the pictured hill giving your scene extra perspective. The versatile meadow foreground also gives you plenty of scope for scenic development.

DCP-CB6Ω DCC Concepts H-DCP-CB6 Cobalt Omega Slow Action Point Motor (6 Pack).

Cobalt is a high quality DC motor driven actuator created to be the best product available for turnout or signal control in any modelling scale from N to O.

• Cobalt is smaller yet much stronger:
  While it is only 45% of the physical volume of its nearest competitor, it has a much higher gear ratio, superior throw strength and far greater stability than any other similar product at the end of throw.
• Cobalt is quieter and more robust:
  The design has been made much stronger than all of its competitors yet it is quiet in operation. We did this by choosing higher quality plastics and specifying a heavy walled internal design that adds to stability while lowering mechanism resonances. Gears are specifically tooled for Cobalt and are made with the best available material which is fibre reinforced nylon for quiet operation, incredible reliability and long life.
• Cobalt is voltage tolerant & low current:
  Even at its maximum, at recommended voltages it draws only 30mA (that is a tiny 30 thousandths of an amp) yet it works well at 6v and very, very strongly at anywhere between 9 volts... and 17 volts DC.
  
  Cobalt can be powered via a small “wall wart” type power supply and it can be switched by standard latching type switches, short term power such as pushbuttons or it can even be automated simply via use of DPDT relays.
  Cobalt is totally comfortable with DCC decoders and any of the low power “stall type” accessory decoder with reversing power ability can be used. Additionally, by adding diodes, AC output DCC decoders with adequate supply voltages and adjustable pulse length can be used.
  
  This power supply versatility, combined with very high gearing and variable fulcrum make it as tough or as gentle as it needs to be yet allows it to remain far more stable than any other turnout motor at the “end of throw”... whether the power is left on constantly or turned off once the work is done.
• Cobalt is very, very versatile in use and includes two SPDT switches
  
  Because it will not relax even a bit at the end of throw Cobalt can be powered by almost ANY method that can deliver DC power and is compatible with almost every DC output DCC accessory decoder ever made.
  
  Cobalt has two inbuilt SPDT “break before make” switches for frog power switching, panel lights, feedback or any other related control need. They are able to handle higher power than competitive products and are exceptionally reliable even under adverse conditions thanks to very positive and strong pressure formed phosphor bronze wipers and gold plated wiper contact areas.
  
  Because of the very high gearing it is even easy to stop Cobalt mid-throw for control of 3 position semaphore signals and 3 way stub turnout operation!
  Cobalt has also been designed from the ground up for either horizontal or vertical mounting which Makes it the perfect device for railway crossing barriers and proper control of delicate semaphore signals too.
• Cobalt has a positive but gentle and almost totally silent Action:
  
  Because of its extremely powerful high ratio gearing it is equally effective when used as either a stall type or short term power device and does not relax at all at the end of throw.
  
  Incredibly powerful as it is, it’s also designed to be gentle when needed and so the degree of pressure and range of its throw has been made easy to adjust over a wide range... Therefore extremely positive and silent action is there by design - whenever it is needed and consistently gentle treatment of your turnouts, signals or other items is absolutely guaranteed by design.
• Cobalt is easy to install.
  
  Each Cobalt turnout motor comes complete with everything needed including the screws needed to fix it to the baseboard (We even supply 5 just in case you lose one). ....and we have also created a wide accessory range including pre-prepared switching.
  
  Cobalt has been designed to be installed vertically for turnout operation or horizontally for semaphore signal or for things like vertical crossing boom actuation.
  
  The actuator wire is of the correct stiffness for reliable turnout throw and has been pre-formed for easy mounting.
  
  We’ve even designed a template that makes it dead easy to get it right the very first time in any scale... Used from above, with the drill kept vertical, it will result in the creation of ready-made accurate pilot holes for you to use when mounting Cobalt.
  
  The fulcrum bar has a series of offset holes too, so if you DO manage to get it wrong... You can easily adjust the left/right bias of the throw simply by changing which hole the wire passes through!
  
  Where a turnout or signal is close to a layout brace or if a standard direct linkage is not possible, it is simple to arrange Cobalt so that it provides an offset drive via a simple cranked wire arrangement (shown in our “tips” pages in the downloadable manual).
• Cobalt needs NO soldering.
  Its no fun soldering under the baseboard... and edge connectors are hard to find and always expensive.
  
  Cobalt has a very high quality 8 way solder-less connector that doesn't even need a screwdriver to give you a perfect connection in moments. (you may find a small blade type driver or similar tool a handy tool for helping with the “Push to insert” connector though)
  
  If you DO prefer to solder... You can of course - And to make even that an easy and safe task...we have purposely chosen a connector which uses TWO solder points per connection point, so you can solder to one of these with no risk to the integrity of the connector or point motor, and the solder resist over all parts of the board other than the solder pad mean there is little chance of bridging connections.
• Installation template available
  
  A metal template is available for precise installation for turnout control in all scales. The template allows you to establish perfect position & create pilot holes for mounting screws from ABOVE the baseboard with zero stress. Its even supplied with the correct size of pilot drill to use with it!
• Cobalt is incredibly reliable.
  
  High quality engineering plastic, top quality gold plated 1.6mm fibreglass PCBs and very careful design make it bulletproof... So we can very confidently give Cobalt the best warranty ever!
  
  Cobalt is Guaranteed for Life!
