Description
111 The Great Bear

 

 1529 Great Western Railway's No. 111 The Great Bear steam locomotive, modeled as it was in the early 1920s. The locomotive was the first of its type (Pacific) in the UK and was first run in February 1908. It was a unique engine for the GWR, who preferred to build on their very successful 4-6-0 designs for passenger work. It was scraped around 1924 and parts were used to build a new Castle Class engine 'Viscount Churchill' retaining its 4 wheel bogie tender. Some say Churchward was not keen on the engine and only built it because of pressure from the board as a prestige loco. Others record that Churchward was very upset at the scraping of his loco. It was a loco of large proportions for the time and the length of the boiler may have explained some reports of poor steaming. Although some good timed runs were recorded. Due to its weight its activities were very restricted and almost entirely spent its time between London and Bristol pulling some of the top link passenger services of the day. 
3440 City of Truro

1852 This is a representation of the GWRs City Class 4-4-0 in its 'as built' form.
The City of Truro is the best known of the class of 10 engines built in 1903.
3454 Skylark

NEW update as of 02/11/03 

 3219 This is a representation of the GWRs Bird Class 4-4-0 in late 1920's condition but originally built in around 1910. The Bird class was essentially an extension of the Bulldog class and was in boiler, wheel (5' 8" drivers) and basic dimensions the same. However, the Birds differed from the Bulldog in that it had very deep outside frames similar to the flower class. The whole class of Bulldogs numbered over 130 including the birds and had a long life some going through to the late forties. The names of the flowers ( a very similar loco to the City's) and the Bird class perhaps indicative of a simpler more innocent age.
3717 City of Truro 

3190 This is a representation of the GWRs City Class 4-4-0 (with its alter number of 3717) in its final condition before withdraw from general service (late 1920's) and into preservation
.
The City of Truro is the best known of the class of 10 engines built in 1903.
With the possible exception of the 4-6-0 King George VI it is GWRs most famous Locomotive.
Although not really an officially timed run it is said to have been the first engine to exceed 100 mile an hour in the world in 1904. Whether you believe the stories or not she is a fine loco and very fast for her time. The engine was always held in high regard by the company and its workforce and in the late twenties when all other cities where withdrawn she was saved and is in preservation to this day. Currently being refitted she will again make a splendid sight in steam very soon.
3832 County of Wilts

3459 These moderately sized 4-4-0 top-link passenger locomotives were not particularly loved by enginemen or track engineers. They were known as rough riders and pounded the track. This model represents the earlier straight framed variety (later batches had curved frames and a different cab profile) It is in the condition it would have been in the early 1920s. This loco County of Wilts was built as part of the first batch in 1906 and is coupled with the standard 3500 gallon tender. The livery is post Great War passenger fully lined.
4003 Lode Star

5246 This is a representation of a Star Class 4 cylinder 4-6-0 locomotive built by the Great Western Railway in 1907 as part of the first batch. They were superb machines for their time and represented a leap forward in passenger locomotives. They were powerful easy steamers and there is much well documented records of some great runs. Even though the Castle class with its bigger cab gave more shelter and were more powerful engineman still liked the Stars. The loco is finished in Pre 1928 green styling.

The loco is preserved in the National Railway Museum in York (UK). This loco was preserved for display originally by the Swindon works itself to go into the Swindon Railway Museum. Although it is sad we will never see her run again The National collection have decided that since every nut and bolt is per Swindon Spec and plans and completed in the works it is a piece of industrial archeology and so cannot be dismantled to get her running again.
4073 Caerphilly Castle

4141 The Castle Class is the most successful class of 4-6-0 passenger locos that the GWR built at least in terms of numbers produced. This model repesents the first of the class 4073 Caerphilly Castle. There were detail differences between the build phases and later series had different chimneys, inside cylinder covers and many other smaller changes.
4079 Pendennis Castle

4143 As above.  This loco is a low poly version to replace the default MSTS version.
4202 2-8-0 Tank

3084 This loco represents 4202 (in preservation) in used condition in the mid twenties. The class was the first design in the UK to follow the 2-8-0 wheel arrangement for a tank engine. This loco was built in 1912 and differs from the later 52xx and 72xx tank locos in having inside steam pipes and a straight frames. They were mainly used on heavy mineral trains in south Wales but many saw service in the south west of England too
5069 Isambard Kingdom Brunel

5788 This loco is one of the later '5013 series Castles and was built in 1938. There were seen and unseen differences to the this type of Castle. The most visible is the cover over the inside cylinders at the front being a more square shape to the 4073 series. This particular loco was the record holder of the fastest 'Ocean Mail' train on the Great Western.
5071 Spitfire

5793 This loco is one of the '5013 series Castles and was built in 1938 and was originally called Clifford Castle. However, after the Battle of Britain in late 1940 the GWR full of national pride renamed a batch of locos after aircraft that took part in the battle. This is the first of those 'Spitfire' In 1940 this loco was coupled with the one-off experimental 8 wheel tender and comes with this model. It did not keep this tender all its working life.
6000 King George V

5409 The largest of the GWR 4-6-0 and the pinnacle of the Great Western design. Whilst some may argue that the Stars and Castles are the better lookers, the Kings have true presence and the look of power which they had in abundance. Its true they could and in preserved hands can be picky about the quality of coal but given the right coal and a first class crew these locos pull large loads impressively at high speed
7202 2-8-2 Tank

3025 This loco represents 7200 in used condition in the late Thirties in the GWR 'Shirt button' livery. The class was a late design /modification of the original 42XX/52XX 2-8-0Ts the prototype being built by rebuilding initially 5275-94. The frames were lengthened at the rear by 4'1" to accommodate trailing pony truck. The resulting extension of the bunker and water tank gave an extra 2 ton of coal and 700 Gallons of water thereby extending their range and use. The were first built in 1934. They were mostly used heavy freight duty (mineral trains) from South Wales into England (Banbury etc.)
8000 Dreadnought

 

 2422 This loco represents a planned but not built class of pacific locos by the GWR in the late 40's just after WWII. I have chosen DREADNOUGHT as the prototype name and imagine it would be a warship class. Thus other paint scheme releases will all be named in this theme.

4061 Glastonbury Abbey

5017 This is a representation of a Star Class 4 cylinder 4-6-0 locomotive built by the Great Western Railway in 1922. This particular loco was one of the last batch to be built the first being constructed 13 years earlier in 1909. They were superb machines for their time and represented a leap forward in passenger locomotive design. They were powerful easy steamers and there is much well documented records of some great runs. Even though the Castle class with its bigger cab gave more shelter and were more powerful engineman still liked the Stars. The loco is finished in Early BR Green.
5217 2-8-0T   This loco represents 5217 in used condition in the 1950s. The class was the first design in the UK to follow the 2-8-0 wheel arrangement for a tank engine. This loco was built in 1912 and differs from the earlier 42xx  tank locos in having outside steam pipes and a curved frames. They were mainly used on heavy mineral trains in south Wales but many saw service in the south west of England too
6024 King Edward I

5741 In the early days of British Railways they experimented with their 'corporate identity' and tried several paint schemes. There were two light blue schemes one a pretty bright 'Prussian blue' and the other more like the old Caledonian Railway Blue. This model represents the latter. For a while the 8P designation express locos were painted this colour. In the end BR settled on a standard Brunswick green (very like GWR green) and lining similar to GWR locos.

Sir Felix Pole, the famous GWR Chairman who was quite blind by the early 1950's said he was glad to be spared the sight of a King in Blue! Still, not quite a s bad as the light green that some of the Castles were turned out in.
6029 King Edward VIII

5673 The largest of the GWR 4-6-0 and the pinnacle of the Great Western design. Whilst some may argue that the Stars and Castles are the better lookers, the Kings have true presence and the look of power which they had in abundance. Its true they could and in preserved hands can be picky about the quality of coal but given the right coal and a first class crew these locos pull large loads impressively at high speed.

This was the last in the Class and is modeled as in the condition of its last few years before scrapping, all too early.
7011 Banbury Castle

NEW as of 24/09/03 see UKTS site (go to links page)

 6800 This model repesents one of the 7xxx series Castles, Drysllwyn (7018) . It was from the first batch built under BR control as only the first 7 of this series were built by the GWR.

This loco is supplied with a Hawksworth 4000 gallon tender and the loco is painted in an experimental light green livery (yuk)
7018 Drysllwyn Castle

NEW as of 24/09/03 see UKTS site (go to links page)

 6801 This model repesents one of the 7xxx series Castles, Drysllwyn (7018) . It was from the first batch built under BR control as only the first 7 of this series were built by the GWR.

This model is a loco only download so you will need to couple up with one of the GWR 4000 Collett tenders from one of my other locos you have or download one. A suitable download can be found by looking picking one of the related downloads listed at the bottom of the UKTS download page for this loco.
8001

2510 This loco represents a planned but not built class of pacific locos by the GWR in the late 40's just after WWII. This is a sister loco to DREADNOUGHT see original text below. It has been textured in early BR loco blue. This livery was intended for top link passenger locos. It was not popular and was soon dropped and locos repainted in BR loco green.

The shape for this loco is different to the 8000 Dreadnought. In particular I have changed the driving wheels to have 3D spokes and flanges.

Description
X4 Permanent Way Wagons 2129 These four permanent way wagons are of two different diagrams with a 'new'; empty and used loaded version (all 4 have different numbers).

The wagons represent the following:

1. 8 ton Ballast wagon to Diagram P5 built around 1888.
2. 20 ton Ballast wagon to Diagram P12 built around 1907.
X2 6 Wheel Siphons  2467 There are models in this pack representing the common forms of the 6 wheel Siphon (Milk Wagons)

1. 6 Wheel Siphon diag O.2 built Jan 1887. with a low body and Arc roof. (1226 polys)
2. 6 Wheel Siphon diag O.4 built Dec 1902. with high body and 3 centre roof. (1276 polys)

Many of these early Siphons were constructed on older 6 wheel passenger coach frames. Most were condemned by the mid 1930's
X3 Fruit Wagons 1596 These three wagons represent a goods and passenger train stock vehicles to carry perishable goods, well fruit really!.
X3 Gunpowder Wagons 1595 These wagons represent the GWR gunpowder goods wagons or CONES to use their code. There are 3 in the set.
Iron Mink F 4860 All of this type of wagon were built between 1904 and 1912. Only built in small numbers they were mostly used on the mainline between Paddington and places like Bristol, Cardiff and Fishguard on night freights. They were quite substantial wagons being made of 1/8" steel plate and several lasted into the early 1950's in service. A couple even lasted until 1966 when being used as store wagons at Swindon.

The version supplied is painted in the post grouping style and is in a recently out-shopped condition.
X3  Minks (Set 1) 1597 The iron Mink is an early livery and an unusual wheel base and size. I have put heavy weathering on it as though it has spent a long time in service. The other represents a wooden vented mink and the third is a Private Owner Wagon owned by Spillers Flour.
X3 Minks (Set 2) 1655 These two vans are a pair of MINKS (covered wagons). The smallest with spoked wheels was built circa 1919 to diagram V16 and the other much later circa 1946 to diagram V36. The second wagon is faced with Plywood rather than built up by wooden planks.

This is an updated set with an additional unusual Iron Mink. This has been built to follow the GW V6v Diagram which were Iron Minks designed for use on passenger trains
X2 MITES 'B' Bolster set 5860 These wagons were used for transporting cut and logged timber and other long loads. They were used in paired sets with only the outer ends having buffers and chain couplings. The inner was a stiff coupling and just wooden blocks as buffers to join the wagons together. Small Macaws could be put either end to allow for any overhang of the load. There are two pairs of wagons in the set. One set has a load and one doesn't.
Shunting Truck 5285 This is a representation of a GWR Shunters truck. These were small trucks that act as a buffer between loco and trucks to be shunted. The small box on the top of the truvk floor was for tool storage. The wheels had a guard plate so that a shunters pole could not be accidently caught in the trucks wheel spokes.
Siphon C 4882 This is a representation of a Siphon C a small wagon by some of the later Siphon standards but many were built replacing the older 6 wheel siphons built on old coach frames. The primary use ouriginally was the carrage of Milk churns. But they were put to many other uses such as other perishables (e.g. fish and meat) and other general frieght. They were vacumn fitted and designed to work as part of passenger trains or complete fitted frieght trains and wree painted in passenger traffic brown with yellow lettering. Many survived well into the BR era mostly for general frieght and meat traffic.
Siphon F 3971 This model represents the 40ft Siphon F built in the early 1900's. Only 10 were built and was the fore runner of the SIPHON H & G.

This one is in the 1930's shirt button livery
Siphon G 1619 The Siphon represented here is an inside braced 50 foot type G to drawing O.22 built circa 1927. These wagons were originally built for carrying milk in churns but were put to many uses over their careers such as general parcel frieght, war time casualty evacuation trains and meat transport.
