Finescale O Gauge (Kit-Built) GWR 56xx No. 5607

1 item left

Built between 1924 and 1928, 200 of these locomotives were built under the design of Charles Collett. The class was built to replace many Welsh pre-grouping designs as these were not standard to GWR design. Lasting in service until 1962-1965, 9 locomotives have been preserved. 

This kit-built model of unknown origin has been constructed to an excellent standard and captures the powerful look of the prototype excellently. It features excellent cab detail.
