In 1923, the railways in the UK were rationalised into four big companies - the grouping. The GWR remained almost unchanged and locomotive development unaffected. Dean at the beginning of the 20th century, then Churchward, Collett and Hawksworth were Chief Mechanical Engineers who developed the GWR loco with its unique style. On nationalisation in 1947 GWR loco's were the only ones to retain their pre-nationalisation numbers.

Great Western Railway locomotives were generally very successful and many remained in service almost untouched through the years from nationalisation in 1947 until the end of steam traction. A Castle 4-6-0 sending up a column of smoke as it slipped and struggled to pull a heavy South Wales express away from Swindon was quite a sight.

Don't need DCC? We also have Bachmanns' model of 5927 Guild Hall available without DCC.

This is an excellent model of the original deisgn Hall class 4-6-0, with the classic GWR dropped frant frames. The reliable Bachmann motor is fitted inside the boiler, allowing room for full backhead detailing. Seprately fitted wire handrails and lamp brackets provide welcome relief to the clean lines of the GWR mixed traffic engine.

The GWR were the first of the major companies to embark on a policy of standarisation for locomotives. The Hall was delveloped from the earlier Churchward Saitn class express passenger 4-6-0

The GWR were the first of the major companies to embark on a policy of standarisation for locomotives. The Hall was delveloped from the earlier Churchward Saint class express passenger 4-6-0, adapted with smaller driving wheels to provide more tractive effort. The 6ft drivers proved very sure-footed, being able to haul express and merchandise goods trains efficiently, but still able to attain express passenger speeds when required. After joining the LMS as cief engineer Stanier furtehr developed the Hall design into his highly successful Black 5.
