The 3 different versions of the green double-ended electric transcontinental loco R.257

The 4 different E3001 (later Class 81) that were made. Top one is the twin pantograph Electric blue version. Second is the single pantograph electric blue version, this one has had the mould altered and the slots filled in where the second pantograph used to be. I have also seen versions of the single pantograph one with the slots in the roof still. The third one is the 1968 electric blue one (which seems to be a different shade to the original electric blue ones) with yellow ends and the last one is the later rail blue with yellow ends

New Zealand R.159 Double-ended Diesel. The second one down is a dummy

The 3 versions of the Green Tri-ang EM2, Electra, Aurora and Pandora.  The alternative names and numbers were only supplied with the CKD (Completely Knocked Down) Assembly Pack kits

The Transcontinental single ended diesel. Top one is an early example with the X04 type motor bogie

Transcontinental Switchers, mostly for the Australian and Canadian markets

The Brush Type2 A1A-A1A (later Class 31) made by Triang come Triang/Hornby come Hornby. Here is 8 versions that I own. The original blue with duck egg window surrounds. The blue and white XP64 livery. The original matt green. The 1968 electric blue version. 1969 rail blue livery. A later matt green version from the RS.651 set (this one has the step missing like the blue versions before it) A later gloss green variant with pick ups on the trailing bogie and last the fictitious Australian NSW Livered one

R.253 Dock Shunter and R.353 Yard Switcher. The top one is one of the very early ones that has the open space before the rear buffer beam that was filled in on later models

Not so much a timeline but just Class35 Hymek's that I own. The top green one was in a right mess when I bought it many years ago. I restored it, so it is not quite in original condition. Then the 1968 electric blue version, before changing to rail blue in 1969. The rail blue one continued for a few years. In 1977 the main range one changed to green but also there was 300 made in orange for the Irish market. The next two have been updated with a new chassis and have Ringfield motors and painted bodies

An early Hymek complete with end stickers still intact

The timeline of the Class 37. First came out in BR green. Then in 1968 it changed to electric blue and from1969 it changed to rail blue. The first 3 were all the same except for colour. Then for some reason with the 4th version the chassis was altered and the body was turned round the wrong way, The 5th version continued with the body round the wrong way but had pickups fitted on the trailing bogie. The 6th version, now numbered 37130 has pickups on the trailing bogie but has had the error with the body corrected and is now the correct way round and the 7th version which came out in 1978 has a new chassis and is the first one with the Ringfield motor

The four different versions of the Midland Pullman which were produced over a 11 year period
