| The 1366
Class is a relatively small model developed in response
to the demand from customers who want to build their own
5" gauge garden railway. The 0-6-0 configuration and
99mm diameter wheels provides a model that can negotiate
the tighter radius curves that are often a feature of
the garden railway. This relatively lightweight model is
easy to handle and maintain. However, this is not only a
practical live steam model, but also an extremely
attractive one. For GWR fans it is definitely one for
your collection. The 1366 represents the best value 5"
gauge model we have ever offered" Mike Pavie |
| Customer testimonial "Just returned from another party day around our track. 3 hours running and the respect of onlookers is building to match ours". Mr GC (14xx Class customer. Over 120miles logged to date) |

 GWR 1366 Unique in a number of respects for a GWR pannier tank the 1366 is a beautiful, well balanced, design that will grace your local track, or take pride of place in a home showcase. The 1366 features two outside cylinders and Stephenson valve gear. Its modest size and 0-6-0 configuration makes this an ideal model for customers seeking a relatively light 5" gauge model that is suitable for the tight radius (under 25ft) of a garden railway, or club track. Designed by C.B.Collett the prototype weighed in at just under 36 tons. Only six locomotives were completed and were assigned to lightweight shunting, branch line and pilot work. 1369 is preserved and operates on the Dart Valley Railway. Built at Swindon in 1934 the Class were modern versions of Churchward's 1361 Class saddle tanks which were built to operate in docks and on lines with severe weight restrictions. With a tractive effort exceeding 16,000 lb these engines were more powerful than a number of comparably sized locomotives such as the 14xx Class. The locomotives were presented in GWR green with Great Western written in full on the water tanks.  The Model.... Weighing in at around 35kg the model offers easy handling and transportation. Its uncomplicated outside cylinder arrangement offers reliability and easy maintenance. We have reserved workshop capacity for the manufacture of 50 models in 2019 with delivery in September of that year. Following completion of the batch there are no further deliveries of this model planned until 2022 at the very earliest. At just £4,995.00 + shipping the 1366 Class offers unbeatable value for a brand new ready-to-run model.
