Prototype Era
Era 5 (1956 to 1966) British Railways Late Crest

Manufacturer description

Delivery is expected April 2023

The model is finished in BR Green Late Crest Livery.

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.
