Manufacturer description

The English Electric GT3 was designed and built in the Vulcan Foundry in Newton-le-Willows, Cheshire in 1958. After a lot of testing, it was found to be uneconomical to use with the introduction of diesel power. The GT3 had the look of a steam loco with its traditional loco tender configuration. KR Models has captured the essence of the GT3 in this model. It would make an excellent addition to any layout.

KR Models English Electric GT3 4‑6‑0 Gas Turbine Locomotive is a detailed model of the English Electric GT3, which was designed and built at the Vulcan Foundry in Newton‑le‑Willows, Cheshire in 1958. The prototype was tested but proved uneconomical with the advent of diesel power, and it retained the appearance of a traditional steam locomotive with a separate tender.

The model is supplied in beech leaf brown livery and includes interior lighting. It is equipped with DCC 21 electronics and carries the manufacturer part number GT3. The era represented is British Railways Late Crest.

Delivery was expected for October–November 2021, although this date is subject to change. Only a limited quantity is available, and the model can be pre‑ordered exclusively through Rails of Sheffield.
