Manufacturer description

New batch announced, pre-order now!

Delivery is expected October 2022

The model is finished in LMS Black

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.

Limited amount available through Rails of Sheffield. Pre-order now.
