Prototype information

^* Class names often change over the lifespan of a locomotive, so this is not necessarily the class name used by the operator in the period modelled.

Bachmann Great Western Railway 56xx Tank locomotive, model number 32‑078, representing engine number 5637 in GWR green livery. The model measures 150 mm in length and is equipped with an 8‑pin DCC‑ready socket. It features a 0‑6‑2 wheel arrangement and is based on a preserved locomotive designed by Charles Collett.

The locomotive is described as being in pristine condition and is suitable for use on a minimum radius curve of the first radius (371 mm). It depicts the period of the Big Four railway companies (LNER, LMS, GWR and SR). The prototype was built between 1924 and 1928, with a total production run of 200 units for the Great Western Railway.
