and BR Green in 1970. In 1972 the numbers and names were changed, with the Rail Blue version being D823 Hermes and the BR Green version D805 Benbow. Subsequent production runs with updated mechanism were made in 1974 of D823 Hermes in Rail Blue, and then a further update in 1979 with the same loco plus D825 Intrepid in BR Green. In each case the model in BR green was with full yellow warning panels. In 1979 the first OO gauge models were produced by Mainline Railways (then owned by Palitoy). D824 Highflyer was modelled in BR Green with small yellow warning panels and 827 Kelly in Rail Blue, these models appearing in the catalogue in that year. In 1980 a further livery was offered in the form of D823 Hermes in BR Maroon with small yellow warning panels, and the class appeared once more in the 1981 catalogue. In 2014 Hornby Railways launched its first version of the BR Class 42, which is a basic representation of the prototype, as part of their Railroad range in BR Green and Maroon in OO gauge. The German company Fleischmann made the class 42 in HO gauge for many years. The final catalogue listing was in 2007/08. Model no. 4246 was in BR green and model no.4247 BR blue.
