Graham Farish N 372-031 BR 5041 Tiverton Castle GWR Castle 4-6-0 Lined Green Early Emblem

A new model of the Great Western Castle class express passenger locomotives.

The Graham Farish Castle is to be completely retooled, creating a detailed, fine scale replica of these powerful express passenger engines. A number of options are being designed into the new tools, providing for single or double chimney and other fittings and detail differences.
The GWR Castles were a true landmark locomotive, among the most powerful and efficient locomotives in Britain during the 1920s and incorporating the full development of G J Churchwards' engineering vision. Both the LMS and Southern built express passenger engines based on Castle specifications, while Gresley pacifics were re-designed to incorporate the findings of comparative trials.
Equally at home on express passenger or fast milk and goods trains 171 locomotives were built between 1923 and 1950, serving until the end of steam on the Western.

This model of 5041 Tiverton Castle is painted in the full British Railways lined green express passenger livery with early lion over wheel emblem. Note this is change to the details originally listed in the catalogue.
