The GWR 4200 class was the UK’s first 2-8-0 wheel base tank engine and were based on the 2800 class. They were developed for Welsh coal trains that required high tractive effort and could handle undulating track, steep inclines and tight corners. 105 were built and 5 have been preserved.
The GWR 7200 class was the UK’s first, and only, 2-8-2 wheel base tank engine and were based on the 4200 class. The coal bunker was extented by 1.2m at the rear requiring a set of trailing wheels and making them the largest GWR tank engine. 54 were rebuilt from other classes and 3 survive and await restoration.
Supports user colours (except BR version), but no aging or user logo.
Update: The models are now available as placeable scenery Assets.
