BR, Class 61xx 'Large Prairie', 2-6-2T, 6145 - Era 4
Everyone loves a steam train and no model train set is complete without an engine heartily puffing its way along a branch line or nestling in an engine shed.
Built at Swindon Works under Lot No. 369 during August 1948, Diagram A9 Class 5101 'Large Prairie' No. 4160 entered traffic on 6 September, 1948 at Barry Shed, where it stayed until 3 October, 1953. Staying in Wales, 4160 worked from Merthyr Tydfil and Radyr until October 5, 1964, when it moved to Severn Valley Junction. Condemned in June 1965, it was purchased for preservation and is currently at Llangollen Railway, awaiting restoration.

Hornby steam locomotives are exquisitely built to our famous, exacting standards and all the authentic detailing from logos to rivets are meticulously executed to complement your layout.
The Hornby engineers have added some 21st Century technology to these romantic engines and we offer DCC-fitted and DCC-ready model steam trains in addition to the analogue range. The DCC trains run under full digital control to enable independent engine movement on the same sections of track and the DCC trains with sound include fabulous, realistic audio to accompany the locomotives actions. From the thundering 4-6-2 formation to the modest 0-6-0 tank, there are steam engines to suit any modeller's layout.
