The ‘skinhead’ Class 24/0s will arrive first, in six authentic BR era liveries, with five Class 24/1s to follow in 2025.

We have now had the decorated samples of the Class 24/0 and they are looking great. Fingers crossed they should be going into production soon and be be available the first quarter of 2024.

These outstanding new models feature all-new body toolings with authentic variations between the different sub-types, bespoke bogie and underframe parts, detailed cab interiors and much more! Variations include bodies with original skirts or skirts removed, Scottish Region tablet catcher equipment, different roof panel and fuel/water tank arrangements, original or revised sandboxes and twin car style headlights fitted to Class 24/1s based at Inverness in the 1970s (see below).

Other features include authentic drilled out wheels and bogie equalising beams, etched grilles, separately fitted handrails and pipe runs, separate headcode discs, etched metal step covers and boiler grille cover plates.

The first engineering prototype sample has just arrived for review and will be on display at the Warley NEC show on November 25/26. Already having test samples is very encouraging and hopefully the Class 24/0 should become available in the first quarter of 2025 with the Class 24/1 expected late 2025. Production of all versions will be strictly limited.

We are taking advance orders for these now for despatch as and when they are released. Advance ordering is highly recommended, especially in regard to the RTC, two tone green and standard BR blue liveries which are expected to be the best sellers.
