Dapol's OO gauge 2-6-2 Tank Locomotive is a model of the Great Western Railway's Class 5101 'Large Prairie' locomotive. This locomotive was built between 1929 and 1949, with a total of 140 produced. The model is a faithful representation of the real locomotive, with a diecast chassis and a five-pole motor that drives the rear wheel. The centre and front wheels are also sprung, allowing the model to navigate tight curves with ease.

The locomotive features a range of details, including a tall safety valve cover, short safety valve cover, bunker lamp bracket shield, smoke box top mounted lamp bracket, smoke box door mounted lamp bracket for British Rail period, and a smoke box number plate for British Rail period. The model also features electrical pick-up on all driving and tender wheels, a firebox glow, and Dapol's proven slow speed mechanism and high torque motor.

The model is available in green Great Western Railway livery and is suitable for use in Era 3 (1923-1947). It has a minimum radius curve requirement of 2nd radius (438mm) and measures 164mm in length, 34mm in width, and 48mm in height. The model is DCC fitted and features a NEXT-18 DCC decoder and a 'no-solder' speaker connection. A sound-fitted option is also available, using a UK Steam Sound Decoder by Soundtraxx.
