Finescale O Gauge (Kit-Built) GWR 'King' Class No. 6015 'King Richard III'

1 item left

This beautiful 'King' has been professionally constructed from a Malcom Mitchell kit by the man himself. Finished to the builder's 'A Shop' standards (with excellent backhead detail), expert decoration courtesy of Alan Brackenborough completes the picture for what is a very special O Gauge engine.  

No. 6015 emerged from Swindon in 1928 and spent the next 34 years storming the Western Region's principal routes on top-link expresses. An Old Oak Common engine during the 1940s, the loco had migrated north to Wolverhampton (Stafford Road) by the time of its withdrawal in 1962.
