Hornby OO R3719 GWR 4154 5101 Class Large Prairie 2-6-2T Late GWR Livery
A completely new model of the GWR 5101 class 2-6-2T large prairie designed to produce both the standard 5101 class used throughout the GWR network on outer suburban, mainline stopping passenger and many branch line services and the more powerful 61xx class built for the heavier London area services, but later to be found in the West.
Era 3 1923-1947.
Built at Swindon Works under Lot No. 361 in July 1947, Diagram A9 Class 5101 'Large Prairie' No. 4154 entered traffic at Wellington Shed, remaining there until 11 July, 1953. 4154's remaining shed allocations saw the locomotive cover much of the Great Western region, with spells at Carmarthen, Worcester, Newton Abbot, Banbury, Stourbridge Junction and Oxley, from where it was withdrawn in October 1965.
