Named in October 1978 and refurbished in May 1982, it had no idea what colourful future awaited it when it was released from The Plant in the then brash large logo look. In fact, 50029 was one of nine members of the type to receive two versions of NSE, with 50017 and 50048 both gaining all three! By its final repaint, the look of the revised NSE locomotives had settled down with a more consistent application, while the BR double arrow was finally ditched - an original condition of the new sector identity from the BR Board - in favour of the West of England route branding. By the time of its withdrawal with a seized power unit at the same time as 50046 Ajax in March 1992 it was one of the last of the six 100mph EE Type 4s still active, while 50030 Repulse was stopped just two weeks later. This left only 50007 Sir Edward Elgar, 50033 Glorious and 50050\/D400 to represent the fleet. 50029 and 50030 were later sold to Operation Collingwood, a charity that had the ambitious goal of returning the locomotives to the main line with modern components while training engineering apprentices. The organisation had also acquired heavily stripped 50001\/023\/040\/045 from Booth's of Rotherham. When this collapsed in 2002, the newly formed Renown Repulse Restoration Group secured the two locomotives in better condition and moved them to Peak Rail at Rowsley. While they were quickly cosmetically restored, the pair have yet to turn a wheel in preservation, and 50030's rebuild is still several years from completion. Once this is finished, 50029 will receive another cosmetic refresh while the society assess the future of the locomotive.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATION\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eHighly-detailed OO scale model, 1:76.2 scale\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eMinimum Radius 438mm (2nd Radius Set-track) in OO\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDie-cast metal chassis\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eRP25-110 profile OO wheels with provision for re-gauging with scale-sized wheels for P4\/EM gauges with simple ride height adjustment and ability to set brake blocks in line with wheels\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eSeparately-applied etched metal\/plastic detail parts, including grab handles, steps, wipers, etc.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eScale width wire handrails\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eEtched metal pre-painted nameplates and crests (where applicable) provided for customer to install\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eInterchangeable printed headcodes with full description covering the first nine years of the class plus preservation era\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eScale-sized and mounted snowploughs provided for customer to install, with one-piece NEM mounted option\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eFull underframe tank, battery box and full-formed compressor detail with extensive pipework and other separate parts\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eFully sprung metal buffers and bufferplate, factory-fitted pipework and screw couplings (for display)\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eFully sprung buffers, super-fine pipework and screw couplings (for display)\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eKinetic NEM coupler mounts at correct height and mini-tension-lock couplers\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeluxe Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eSeparately powered working radiator fan with different speed settings \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003ePowerPack capacitor for uninterrupted power\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eCustom Accurathrash Speaker Technology including large Accurathrash Style Bass Speaker (on DCC Sound-fitted models only)\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eHall sensor for flange squeal effect (on DCC Sound-fitted models only)\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDCC Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDCC ready with PowerPack capacitor for uninterrupted power\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDCC ready or Factory-Fitted DCC Sound options\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh Performance Traction features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eFive-Pole motor with two flywheels\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eHelical Gear box for maximum performance and slow speed running\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eGearing arranged so locomotive can achieve minimum scale top speed of 125 mph (200 km\/h)\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eAll wheel drive (sprung centre axle) and all wheel pickup\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFully detailed Lighting Pack features\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDirectional lighting, DC and DCC\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eSwitchable Red and white marker lights with day\/night options\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eSwitchable Red and white marker lights with correctly configured lights for preservation era oddballs 50008 and 50044\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eInterior lighting with cast electrical compartment and engine bay detail on metal motor enclosure\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eSeparately switched cab lighting and illuminated, drivers desk, auto\/off on movement\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Accurascale","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56356048863612,"sku":"ACC2526-DCC","price":299.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/3048\/7164\/files\/ACC2350.97965_644168c9-cf04-43b3-8e01-e93c9851cdab.jpg?v=1786092419","url":"https:\/\/www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com\/products\/acc2526-dcc-accurascale-class-50-50-029-renown-revised-nse","provider":"Kernow Model Rail Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
