 TWO NEW LOCOMOTIVE RANGES JUST ANNOUNCED
AT TMC Rapido's LB&SCR D1 0-4-2T and Thomas Hill 4W-DH industrial diesel rebuilds are now available to pre-order. DC / DCC READY DCC SOUND |
We are pleased to announce two further Rapido locomotive ranges now available to pre-order at TMC. For Southern modellers, the new LB&SCR D1 Tank follows the E1 and covers liveries from Stroudley's Improved Engine Green through to a range of Southern Railway finishes. For industrial layouts, the compact Thomas Hill 4W-DH diesel-hydraulic rebuilds bring another distinctive family of tiny shunters to OO Gauge. |
| Southern modeller? The D1 is the perfect accompaniment to Rapido's LB&SCR Evolution coaches - and the Mahogany coach order books close very shortly. |

25 YEARS OF TMC CUSTOMISATION | CELEBRATING OUR 25TH ANNIVERSARY SPEC YOUR NEW LOCOMOTIVE
THE TMC WAY For 25 years, TMC has been transforming ready-to-run models into something more personal. When your new Rapido locomotive arrives, why not have our workshop customise it before it reaches your layout? Choose from subtle upgrades through to a fully bespoke finish, with work carried out by our experienced customisation team. | WEATHERING Value, Standard or Deluxe finishes, from subtle service wear to photograph-inspired heavy weathering. | RENAME & RENUMBER Create a different identity or recreate a particular prototype with professional renaming and renumbering. | DCC & SOUND Decoder installation and digital sound fitting for suitable models, professionally installed in our workshop. | FICTITIOUS LIVERIES & NAMES Create a one-off fictitious livery or even name a locomotive after yourself. How does Sir Mike Simmonds sound? | FINISHING TOUCHES Crew, real coal, fitted detail parts, buffer grease, firebox ash, water streaking and other realistic touches. | BESPOKE COMMISSIONS Have something specific in mind? Talk to us about a one-off finish or customer-requested modification. |
| Make it yours from day one. Add customisation to an eligible TMC order and we can complete the work before dispatch. Availability depends on the model and the work requested. LEARN ABOUT TMC CUSTOMISATIONProfessional model customisation since 2001 • 25 years of production customisation in 2026 |
