Manufacturer description
Expected Delivery Q3 2024 (Subject to change at Manufacturer's Discretion).
Introduced by the Great Northern Railway in 1921 to a design by Sir Nigel Gresley, these powerful 2-8-0s were built to haul heavy coal and ironstone trains. Several batches were built over a 22 year period by the Great Northern Railway (GNR) and LNER, with numerous improvements such as better cabs and bigger tenders. Heljan's models depict the O2/1, O2/2 and O2/4 variants with the previously unreleased GNR style cabs (original high style and reduced height 'composite loading gauge' type) and a choice of GNR and LNER group standard tenders.
