Details

The Small Prairie, or 45xx class as it is classified, was designed in 1906 by George Churchward for mixed traffic use on the busy Great Western branch lines.
75 of these locomotives were built between 1906 and 1924, 20 were built at Wolverhampton and 55 were built at Swindon.
These locomotives lasted into the early days of BR with the last ones being withdrawn from service in 1964.
There are only a small handful left in preservation.

These stunning replicas feature lots of internal and external details which make them a must have on any Great Western or BR model railway.
