G3 Britannia Class
BR Britannia Class
Designed by R. A. Riddles and introduced in 1951 the Britannia
Class was the first British Railways standard design to appear.
A total of 55 of the Class were all built at Crewe works with
the final engine entering traffic in 1954. With just two outside
cylinders it was a practical design built for ease of
maintenance. In spite of this the locomotive was a handsome and
well proportioned design.. A real favourite among railway
enthusiasts. With its 74" driving wheels it was an archetypal
passenger express and looks at home, at speed, at the head of a
long rake of Mk 1 coaches. Allocated to all regions the
locomotives remained in service to the very end of the British
steam era with 70013 Oliver Cromwell hauling the final scheduled
passenger service in 1968.
The Gauge 3 Model........
The Britannia Class model is built to a near exact scale of
1/22.6. Beautifully detailed it is designed to run on 2.5" gauge
