GWR KING CLASS
Gauge 3 GWR King Class


The GWR King Class

Designed by C.B.Collett the King Class was introduced in 1927. Regional railway companies were very conscious of their image and actively sought to win the publicity war against their rivals. The introduction of the King, with its 40,000lb tractive effort, allowed GWR to trumpet once again that they possessed the most powerful locomotives in Britain. During development Chief Mechanical Engineer Collett requested an increase in the 20 to axle loading limit to 22.5 tons so that he could build a larger engine. This was agreed and work was commenced by the Civil Engineer to strengthen bridges along the West of England line. The weight of the King did, however, initially restrict it to just three routes, Paddington/Plymouth, Paddington/Bristol and Paddington/Birmingham. Additional routes were added in BR days. The Kings always headed the most prestigious trains until their withdrawal in 1962. A variety of liveries were carried including GWR green, BR blue and BR lined green.


G3 - The Premier Garden Railway Gauge

Discover the timeless charm of your very own Gauge 3 garden railway. What could be better than a layout on your doorstep? G3 is the largest of the scenic garden railway gauges and the natural choice for those looking for the ultimate. The models have an undeniable presence that cannot be matched by smaller gauges. Gas-fired models use near silent ceramic burners incorporating a mica fire door window so you can view the fire. Enjoy the satisfying atmospheric glow inside the cab as daylight starts to fade. At nearly three times the size of Gauge 1 (by volume) you can clearly discern the authentic beat of multi cylinder engines and hear a very satisfying chuff echoing from the smoke box. Gauge 3 is ideal for ground-level running and brings a new level of realism and beauty to your garden railway.
