PROTOTYPES UNVEILEDThese first physical samples take Rapido's TT:120 Class 45 and 46 project beyond CAD drawings and into hands-on evaluation. The team can now assess tooling accuracy, component fit and the differences between the two classes, including cab fronts, headcode arrangements and roof equipment. They are development samples, not finished production models, so details may change before release. |

THE TMC WORKSHOP • YOUR PEAK, YOUR WAY Every Peak has a story.
Make yours unique.The real Class 45s and 46s worked hard — and looked it. Exhaust staining, road grime and weather-beaten bodysides were all part of their character. Our workshop can recreate that authentic, hard-working appearance with bespoke weathering for your TT:120 Peak. RENUMBER IT. CREATE A DIFFERENT PEAK. Want a completely different locomotive identity? Our renumbering service can transform your model into another member of the class, with appropriate identity details where suitable. Ideal for building a varied fleet without repeating the same locomotive. |
We are offering professionally installed Hornby HM7000 sound upgrades for every DCC-ready Peak in the range. Simply add the upgrade at TMC checkout when you pre-order your Class 45 or Class 46, and our workshop will fit it for you. Weathering, renumbering and sound fitting are optional, charged separately and subject to model suitability and workshop availability. |
Which Peak belongs on your layout?From early BR green to blue-era favourites and the distinctive RTC 'Ixion', choose your locomotive and preferred sound specification from the links above. |
All locomotives featured are pre-orders / on order with supplier, not in stock. Prices checked against TMC listings 30 October 2026 and may change. Catalogue livery illustrations are not the new engineering prototype photographs. Product specification and release timing are subject to change. |
