A most Majestic and powerful locomotive, introduced
for main line express passenger workings, and to outdo the SR's 'Lord

saw most of their service on the Paddington-Plymouth and Paddington-Shrewsbury(Birkenhead)
routes. The kit has Brass Loco and Tender bodies
with N/Silver chassises. Castings
in White Metal. This is an ideal kit for builders to 'get their
teeth into'. A handsome model when finished. Addition
LWB castings pack available.
