1999 | County Class in the livery of its original parent, the Great Western Railway, as it ran in the brief period from the introduction of the class in 1945 to Nationalisation in 1948. Having a fitted name plates narrows the time frame further. Born at a time of wartime austerity, the first nineteen Counties went out with no name plates, and it was 1948 before all names were fitted. Model is powered by a ringfield motor, with sprung drawbar. |
