King Class in GWR Green Livery
Price £6,995.00 + £95.00 p&p
The GWR King Class
Designed by C.B.Collett the King Class was introduced in 1927.
Regional railway companies were very conscious of their image
and actively sought to win the publicity war against their
rivals. The introduction of the King, with its 40,000lb tractive
effort, allowed GWR to trumpet once again that they possessed
the most powerful locomotives in Britain. During development
Chief Mechanical Engineer Collett requested an increase in the
20 to axle loading limit to 22.5 tons so that he could build a
larger engine. This was agreed and work was commenced by the
Civil Engineer to strengthen bridges along the West of England
line. The weight of the King did, however, initially restrict it
to just three routes, Paddington/Plymouth, Paddington/Bristol
and Paddington/Birmingham. Additional routes were added in BR
days. The Kings always headed the most prestigious trains until
their withdrawal in 1962. A variety of liveries were carried
including GWR green, BR blue and BR lined green.
The Model...
Silver Crest Models has been building Gauge 3 live steam models
since its formation in 2010. By the time the King is delivered
we will have manufactured over 550 models in Gauge 3. This
experience is your guarantee of quality. A gauge 3 model runs on
2.5" gauge track and is built to a near exact scale of 1/22.5
(G-scale). Gauge 3 is the UK's largest scenic model railway
gauge.
This 4 cylinder, gas-fired, live steam locomotive represents
excellent value at just £6,495.00 + p&p. Whether you are
inclined to collect and showcase your models, or run with a rake
of scale coaches on your very own garden railway, the King Class
fits the bill. It is a handsome display model and one capable of
pulling substantial loads around your track.
The model comes complete with a silver soldered copper boiler,
hydraulically tested to twice working pressure. All boilers are
supplied with a manufacturer's shell test certificate. As
testament to our confidence in the models we provide a full 12
months warranty on every product. We've presently booked
sufficient factory capacity for the manufacture of just 50
models. Order reservations will be accepted on a first
come, first served basis. We are pleased to offer a choice
of names and liveries.
