A high-quality rendition of the early-twentieth century
powerhouse. With an impressive level of detail and a high-performance
mechanism, the Branchline G2A is the complete package, and this model has SOUND
FITTED by TMC.
The model employs a diecast running plate, along with
further metal components to provide an impressive weight, ensuring the model’s
strength and power match its prototype’s.
The London and North Western
Railway (LNWR) Class G2A was a class of 0-8-0 steam
locomotives. They were upgraded from LNWR Class G1 principally by the
fitting of a higher pressure boiler. Some of the G2As subsequently
received lower pressure boilers on overhaul, taking them back into Class
G1. On nationalisation in 1948, British Railways (BR)
received 320 G2As, thus making them the largest ex-LNWR class received by BR.
They were numbered in the range 48893–49394 but the number series is not
continuous because some numbers in the same range were given to G1
Class locomotives. None were preserved, although a very
similar LNWR Class G2 No. 49395 was.
