The range comprised mainly British railway rolling stock but there were a few kits of other subjects. The range consisted of 34 kits of individual locomotives or carriages, a model of the Ariel Arrow motorcycle, the "Fireball XL5" rocket, parts to motorise the railway kits (using a motorised box wagon supplied pre-built, or a motor bogie) and three railway presentation sets:
The first entered service as MGWR number 49 but the company then became part of the new Great Southern Railways and the locomotive was renumbered 375 and the remaining 11 kits were completed as GSR engines. [5] The final one of the batch, number 383, was the last locomotive completed at Broadstone. [5] The GSR designated them Class 372 or Class K1.
Hornby produces a ready-to-run model of the J15 in 00 gauge (4 mm) in BR (with the rebuilt high-arched cab roof) and LNER liveries (both as-built and high-arch cab roofs). [22] Also in 00 gauge, there are kits from Alan Gibson and Nu-Cast. Finley and Smith produce a 3 mm kit. A 7mm (O gauge) kit is made by Connoisseur Models.
In 2000, Rowland put the 614 up for auction at the NJT maintenance facility, but no buyers were interested. [6] In 2002, the 614 was moved to storage on the Reading and Northern Railroad in Port Clinton, Pennsylvania. The locomotive was maintained by Iron Horse Enterprises, the most recent servicing of the locomotive being in 2006.
No further engines were built to this design, and the locomotive was withdrawn and scrapped in 1911. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Despite it being a unique, obscure and short-lived experimental loco, Hornby have been producing a 00 scale model of No. 101 since 1978, in many prototypical and non-prototypical guises.
Five were originally designed and built by Kitson and Company of Leeds to LMS specification in 1932 and numbered 1500–1504. They were similar to other shunters built for industrial use. The manufacturer's works numbers were 5644–5648. [1] The LMS classified them 0F. These were later renumbered 7000–7004 in 1935/1936.
The Erie Railroad briefly had a locomotive of this type numbered 2900, but it was rebuilt to a 2-8-0 in 1916 after only six years. The Baldwin Locomotive Works marketed a front end "kit" whereby conventional 2-8-0 locomotives could be converted to 2-6-8-0 types. None of this type locomotive have been preserved.
The Great Western Railway (GWR) 2251 Class or Collett Goods Class was a class of 0-6-0 steam tender locomotives designed for medium-powered freight. They were introduced in 1930 as a replacement for the earlier Dean Goods 0-6-0s and were built up to 1948. [2]
