Hornby GWR Large Prairie 61xx Class 6126 British Railways Green

GWR Large Prairie 61xx Class 6126 British Railways Green A lovely addition to any OO gauge layout, this BR Class 61XX Large Prairie Locomotive is gorgeous in green. With sprung metal buffers and NEM tension lock couplings, this is a deligtful, highly detailed steam locomotive.  The ‘61XX’ Class was a direct development of the earlier ‘5101’ Class by Charles Collett, with a total of 70 locomotives turned out at Swindon Works between 1931 and 1935. The main difference was an increase in boiler pressure, which was raised to 225psi and gave a consequent increase in tractive effort.  No. 6126 entered service in October 1931 and spent much of its career based along the main Paddington to Bristol line, with postings at Slough, Southall, Reading, and Didcot. Its last shed was Oxford from May 1964, where it was withdrawn in December 1965 and sent for scrapping at Cashmore’s in Newport. - DCC Ready 8-Pin Socket - OO Scale
