Era 7 (1972 to 1982) British Rail Blue (TOPS)

Manufacturer description

This heavyweight Type 4 proved its worth hauling everything from named expresses to unfitted mineral trains. Closely associated with the Midland Main Line and cross-country routes, the class could be seen over a wide area from central Scotland to the west of Cornwall. A huge range of detail variations has been designed into the model, allowing accurate depictions of specific Class 45/0s and 45/1s for the first time.

Following the incredible reaction to the initial batch of ā€˜45s’, a second production run is now being prepared for release in 2023.
