GWR 0-4-2T 517 & 14xx/48xx/58xx Classes OO

GWR 517 class 0-4-2T in OO! Along with Collett 1930s replacements the 4800 (later 1400) and 5800 classes.
A very welcome addition to the range of GWR motive power from the pre-1930s era the Wolverhampton-built Armstrong 517 class 0-4-2 tank engines served all across the GWR network on local passenger and branch line duties. The early versions of this class are ideal for working with the Dapol auto trailer in the GWRs pre-grouping crimson lake livery.
The 517s were updated and upgraded through their lives, new boilers were built with the GWRs standard Belpaire fireboxes, cabs were full enclosed and larger GWR style bunkers were fitted. There was no escape however that even the newest locomotives built in the mid 1880s were becoming life expired by the 1930. The basic design had proven so successful that their replacements, the Collett 4800 (auto-fitted) and 5800 class 0-4-2 tanks, were close duplicates. The last 517s were withdrawn in 1947, but as the later 517 boilers could also be fitted to the Collett engines it is quite possible 517 boilers were still in service with the last of the 1400s.
Sensibly, as the design is near-identical, Dapol have chosen to produce a new model of the Collett 48xx engines as well.
Detailed model of the GWR 517 class 0-4-2T, recreating the class after 1900 with lengthened wheelbase, choice of open or enclosed cab and original or extended 'Swindon' style bunker. Designed by George Armstrong and built at Wolverhampton between 1868 and 1885 these engines were intended for branchline and local passenger service all across the GWR system. Many were modified for auto train pull-push working and proved so successful that the Collett 48xx class built in the 1930s to replace them was little more than a modernised version, with newer 517 boilers being modified to fit the new engines.
Model of GWR number 539 with 'half-cab' and straight-backed bunker finished in 1900-1906 livery style of GWR green with indian red frames and polished brass boiler fittings.

Designed by C B Collett in the early 1930s for auto train services the 48xx class was based closely on the Armstrong 517 class 0-4-2Ts which had proved highly capable on these duties. The new engines were an updated design, incorporating all the updates done on the 517s and a more modern, higher pressure boiler. 75 engines were built equipped with auto gear for working with trailer cars, with an extra 20 non-auto engines of the 58xx class. Post-war the 48xx class engines were renumbered into the 14xx series.
