The new arrivals include a Leyland Olympian and an Alexander Volvo Olympian, giving you two classic double-decker types to choose from.

Even better, both are 26% off RRP, bargain priced at just £32.95 each.

🚂 Following on from our recent ACE Trains Coarse O Scale arrivals, we've now received another impressive selection of classic locomotives — this time focusing on some of the LMS's most recognisable steam designs. Order now from £495 each: https://go.railsofsheffield.com/o80t2i

New into stock are examples of the handsome LMS ‘Patriot’ Class 4-6-0, alongside the formidable Stanier Class 8F 2-8-0. From express passenger duties to hard-working heavy freight, the two classes represent very different sides of LMS steam and make particularly imposing models in Coarse O Scale.
​
These join the growing selection of ACE Trains locomotives currently available at Rails, so if large-scale LMS steam is your thing, there's now even more to choose from. Available from stock now while supplies last!

🤩 We've also just received the latest run of Accurascale OO Gauge PTA, JTA and JUA bogie tippler wagons into stock! Order now for £179.95 per 5-pack: https://go.railsofsheffield.com/LZ0enl

This new batch features wagons in ARC, Foster​Yeoman and British​Steel liveries, making them perfect for building up the lengthy heavy freight formations these distinctive vehicles are so well known for.

These have been eagerly awaited and, with wagons like these always looking their best in numbers, now's a great opportunity to build or expand your rake.

🍬 Some SWEET news to end the week on! We've just created these 3D mockups of our upcoming Swizzels wagons and their accompanying Collectors packaging! Pre-order now from £21.95 each: https://go.railsofsheffield.com/LGyU93

We know you always appreciate a particularly snazzy box!

These give you a much better idea as to how the final models will look - but please note these are just mockups and the final models may differ.

Available to pre-order are classic and modern Drumstick vans, a colourful Refreshers van, and the distinctive Love Hearts tanker, all officially inspired by some of Swizzels' best-known sweets. To make them even sweeter, each model will also come with an applicable pack of sweets, making these a fun collectible as well as a standout addition to the layout.

💜 Rapido Trains UK has just announced a colourful trio of new OO9 Narrow Gauge All Purpose Wagons as part of the upcoming second production run, all finished in the ever-popular Purple Moose Brewery livery! Pre-order now from £22.05 each: https://go.railsofsheffield.com/Gc6WmP

The new releases include a tanker wagon, dropside open wagon and flat wagon complete with crate load, giving narrow gauge modellers three very different vehicles to add to their layouts.
​
While these are not based on prototypical railway vehicles, Purple Moose-themed models have always proved especially popular with modellers, particularly within the OO9 narrow gauge scene, where quirky and characterful rolling stock fits right in. If you fancy adding a splash of brewery-themed colour to your narrow gauge fleet, these new wagons are now well worth getting on pre-order.

🤩 Our latest collaboration with Rapido Trains UK has now been revealed - the Great Central Railway Class 1 'Sam Fay' 4-6-0 (aka LNER 'B2') in OO Gauge! Pre-order now from £239.95: https://go.railsofsheffield.com/0c8jUB

You can choose from a variety of liveries including original Great Central Railway and LNER schemes. In addition, there's a special 'What if?' edition aptly named 'City of Sheffield' in BR lined black with early emblem - showcasing what this handsome class would have looked like had it reached nationalisation.
​
Modellers can look forward to all of Rapido's bells and whistles (literally) - with the locos featuring a number of accurate tooling differences covering the entire class history, smooth-running mechanism, MoPower stay alive, DCC & Sound capability, Twin speakers, firebox flicker and much more.
​
The project is progressing at pace, with design complete and tooling underway. We expect the final releases to arrive later in 2027. Stay tuned for further updates.
