The Dapol Large Prairie 2-6-2 Tank Locomotive in OO gauge is a model of the British Railways locomotive number 5190. This model is a representation of the Great Western Railway 5101 class, a class of locomotives built between 1929 and 1949.

The model features a diecast chassis with a five pole motor driving the rear wheel, and compensation is provided by sprung centre driving wheels and a front pony truck. The locomotive has electrical pick-up on all driving and tender wheels, and features a firebox glow.

The model is available in lined black British Railways livery, representing the era between 1923 and 1947. The locomotive is DCC fitted, with a NEXT-18 DCC decoder and a 'no-solder' speaker connection. A sound option is available, using a UK Steam Sound Decoder by Soundtraxx. The model measures 164mm in length, 34mm in width, and 48mm in height.

The 5101 class of locomotives was a development of the 3100 class, with a higher boiler pressure and designed for London suburban services. The last of these locomotives were withdrawn in 1965. Dapol's model is based on the early 1930s period when cab side shutters were added to the locomotives.
