BR Class 50 - Railfreight General - 50149 'Defiance' - Exclusive

The second half of the 1980s saw a potential new direction for the Class 50s as passenger work began to dry up. While 1987 brought sad news with the first three examples switched off, Plymouth’s Laira depot also outshopped the former 50049 Defiance in the stunning new Railfreight General livery with re-geared CP7 bogies and new 50149 number. The sole member of the Class 50/1 sub class, it was primarily used in the South West on china clay and Speedlink wagonload duties before the project was cancelled. This was partially due to poor wheelslip protection and lack of sanding equipment, both ironically removed during refurbishment and considered too expensive to reinstate. It was returned to standard condition in February 1989 and repainted in the revised NSE scheme.

Great drawer organizers
Size: 21 Pack, Color: Clear, Size: 21 Pack, Color: Clear
Comes with grip pads for each tray. No sliding around in the drawer. Perfect sizes and ways to use. Filled 4 kitchen drawers and still extra pieces for a 5th drawer. Great for organizing craft room or anywhere. Each tray came separately bagged so no scratches. For clear plastic, seems very durable. Would buy again.

Just what I needed for sorting my LEGO builds!
Size: 6 Pack, Color: Clear
The different sizes are perfect for sorting assorted LEGO pieces! Easy to store and stackable when not in use. Putting on the little pads on the bottom can be a bit tricky, so take your time with it! These thick plastic trays are an AWESOME value for what you get! You get (2) sets for double the storage capacity! Very durable and crystal clear appearance! The little pads on the bottom keep these little trays in place so they don't slide around. Very satisfied with this purchase!

Love These for Organizing Drawers
Size: 8 Pack, Color: Clear
I love these drawer organizers! The sizes vary so you can configure them in multiple ways. The clear material is nice, and the non-slip feet work well to keep them in place. So far, they seem durable and look really nice.
