5” GWR 8750 Pannier Tank
£4,250.00
This is a finely finished and well put together ModelWorks kit. It is presented in a fine glossy green 1920s livery and would look easily as good on a mantelpiece as on the track.
The builder has put in an excellent effort to attain a high finish – we have the build record well documented in photos.
The engine is, as yet, unsteamed – and features:
Regulator
Blower
Mechanical Lubricator
Injector
Hand pump
Axle pump bypass
Pole reverser
Two inside cylinders with slide valves
Stephenson’s valve gear
Description
The Great Western Pannier tank is perhaps our favourite type of engine. We may well be biased but it is rare to find any other enthusiast or hobbyist who doesn’t appreciate the rugged simplicity of the various effectively Victorian designs. The 8750 is attributed to Charles Collett and were the find tank engines to feature the modern large window cab arrangement giving more light and visibility to the crews.
