The classic Great Western branchline engine, the 45xx class 2-6-2T were small but powerful locomotives able to run fast in either direction. Bachmann have produced a very good and smooth running model of these popular engines which remained in service until the end of steam on the Western region.
GWR 5526 represents the enlarged version of the class with extra water tank capacity and carries the early 1930's green livery with Great Western lettering.
