Hornby R30521 OO RailRoad BR County Class 'County of Dorset' 1013 Steam Locomotive

The ‘County’ Class was the last of the GWR-designed two-cylinder 4-6-0s, with 30 built at Swindon between 1945 and 1947 to the design of Chief Mechanical Engineer, Frederick Hawksworth.

‘County of Dorset’ entered service in February 1946 and spent most of its early years in the West Country at Bristol, Plymouth, Truro and Penzance, before transferring to Shrewsbury in December 1951. Its final move was to Swindon in September 1963, from where it was withdrawn in July the following year and scrapped at Cashmore’s yard in Newport, South Wales.

Our OO gauge RailRoad replica model locomotive is a detailed, yet durable, version of the Country Class, bringing the 'County of Dorset' to your model railway collection.
