– Flying Scot (2022)
Info nicked from Wikipedia because I am not smart on GWR stuff
The GWR 455 Class, also called the ‘Metropolitan’ or ‘Metro’ Tanks, was a series of 140 2-4-0T locomotives built for the Great Western Railway, originally for their London suburban services, including running on the underground section of the Metropolitan Railway, the source of their nickname.

This is a commissioned model by some lady called Samantha, cheers Samantha for introducing me to the world of non-standard Swindon locomotives with no solid prototype as they kept changing everything
My commissions are closed as of March 2022, but they may reopen.
