GWR Large Prairie 51xx Class 5153 BR Lined Green (Late)
Our highly detailed Large Prairie Locomotives feature sprung metal buffers and NEM tension lock couplings for smooth running and effortless rake creation. This Class 5101 model sports a lovely green livery and is a delightful addition to any steam collection.
Designed for suburban and local passenger services, 140 of these large ‘Prairies’ were built at Swindon between 1929 and 1949. These locomotives were a development of Churchward’s 1903 ‘31XX/51XX’ Class overseen by GWR Chief Mechanical Engineer, Charles Collett. New to Chester West shed, 5153 entered service in March 1930 and enjoyed a career that lasted almost 35 years.
After moving to Newton Abbot in the 1940s, it had a spell at Kidderminster before reaching Leamington in 1964, which was its final shed, withdrawal coming just three months later. It was scrapped in June 1965.
