Train shunting puzzles, also often called railway shunting puzzles or railroad switching puzzles, are a type of puzzle. Shunting puzzles usually consist of a specific track layout, a set of initial conditions (typically the starting place of each item of rolling stock ), a defined goal (the finishing place of each rolling stock item), and rules ...

The London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Sentinel No. 7164, (later 7184 and under British Railways, 47184) was a small shunting locomotive. Its design was that of the single-speed Sentinel, [1] a vertical-boilered geared locomotive, using Sentinel's standard vertical boiler and steam motor design. This was the smallest of the four ...
British railway modelling of this period was almost entirely OO gauge [citation needed]. Typical small model railways were based on a notional GWR rustic branch line terminus, with small locomotives and sparse timetables. [5] Minories was an opportunity to model the more vibrant urban traffic, but without requiring a great deal of space.
Graham Farish currently offers a British N gauge model. [86] Past models have included D2388 in BR green livery and 03066 in BR blue livery. [87] In 2008, Bachmann introduced O gauge brass models of the Class 03 in BR green and BR blue liveries. [88] Heljan currently offer a model in O gauge (7mm), which is available in BR green or rail blue ...
This was an 0-4-0 diesel mechanical shunting locomotive built by Hudswell Clarke for the Crewe Works Narrow-gauge railway in 1930. It was the first diesel locomotive supplied to a major UK railway. [1] It had a McLaren-Benz 2-cylinder engine of 20 hp (15 kW) at 800 rpm. [2] It was transferred to Horwich Works in 1935.
