The British Railways LNER 13-ton steel hopper wagon was based on an LNER design but produced in the early British Railways era between 1949 and 1953. It marked a step forward from earlier wooden-bodied wagons by using an all-steel, welded construction, which offered improved durability and reduced maintenance needs. The design reflected the LNER’s long-standing experience with mineral wagons, but was adapted for post-war production methods in BR workshops such as those at Shildon, Faverdale, and York.

Over 2,600 of these wagons were built, and they became a common sight in the North Eastern Region. This was partly because many goods yards in the area had coal-drop staithes, making the bottom-discharge hopper design especially efficient for unloading bulk materials. While they were primarily intended for transporting coal, the hoppers proved versatile and were later used to carry stone, sand, and other aggregates.

The 13-ton steel hopper was a reliable and workmanlike vehicle that served across the UK for several decades. Its robust construction meant it could withstand heavy use, and it became a mainstay of freight traffic in the post-war period. Although newer wagon designs eventually replaced them, some examples remained in service into the early 1980s, making them one of the longer-lived mineral wagon types of the mid-20th century.

These Modern Platform Lamps kits represent the typical kind of lamp standard found, admittedly, not just on platforms, but along any street or thoroughfare. With optional attachments included, such as CCTV cameras, loudspeakers and station signs, these are very versatile kits for modellers. The N scale pack provides parts for 10 lamps.

These Modern Platform Lamps kits represent the typical kind of lamp standard found, admittedly, not just on platforms, but along any street or thoroughfare. With optional attachments included, such as CCTV cameras, loudspeakers and station signs, these are very versatile kits for modellers in both scales. Produced mainly in plastic, with easy-to-assemble parts and clear instructions provided, the OO/HO scale kits have the added advantage of using brass tubing for the main posts, so give the option to be made operational (additional parts would need to be sourced).

A versatile small barn/stores kit which can be assembled as a derelict or pristine building with a choice of wall finishes.

The PECO Streamline OO Bullhead track range has shaped up to be a very comprehensive system comprising flexible track, bullhead joiners, buffer stop, large radius, medium radius turnout, a crossing, double & single slips, Y turnouts and now Small Radius Turnouts. There's enough there already for modellers to build a truly authentic steam-to-diesel transition period layout.

• PECO Streamline OO Bullhead Small Radius Turnout, Unifrog
• Shares the same geometry as the existing Streamline Code 100, 75 flat bottom tracks systems
• Compatible with existing Bullhead system
• Uses standard SL-110 Code 75 rail joiner or the SL-114 Bullhead rail joiner
• Length 185mm
• Radius 610mm
• Frog angle 12 degrees
• Unifrog
• High quality nickel silver rail for all rail parts, for optimal electrical conductivity
• An excellent track component where space restrictions prevent standard turnouts being used.

This track models the most common form of concrete sleepering in use in Britain today, with flat bottom rail.

The concrete sleeper detail in SL-303 is vastly improved from the previous SL-302 (now discontinued), with a more prototypical sleeper/tie profile, better representation of the Pandrol-style rail clip and even the manufacturer's name embossed on the surface. Flexible track with nickel silver rail, length 36 inches, 914mm. Supplied in cartons of 25.

N.B Compatible with the existing N scale Code 80 track system, it is also worth reminding that the Code 80 and Code 55 track systems are able to be connected together without the need to compensate for the change in rail height thanks to the clever design of the rail profile and base mouldings of the Code 55 system. The standard SL-310 and SL-311 rail joiners are used for both systems.

A new set of Tracksetta templates are now available. Essential tools for ensuring the best track laying possible with PECO Streamline flexible track, the addition of TT:120 templates now provides modellers in this 'new' scale the opportunity to ensure kink-free, realistic-looking track. Combining different radii also allow the laying of transition curves and reverse curves to best effect. As with the N/OO-9 and OO/HO scale Tracksetta templates these are made from powder-coated steel.
