Bulletin: GWR Class 41xx

Manufacturer: ESU, Item number: S0416, Version: V3-R1

From 1908, the British Great Western Railway GWR purchased several series of a steam locomotive type generally known as the Large Prairie (wheel arrangement 2-6-2T). The last series were the 4100-4179, built between 1934 and 1949. The three-coupled locomotives, which were equally fast forwards and backwards, were primarily used on suburban trains, but also proved their worth on light freight trains. The last of the 1039 hp, 75 mph two-cylinder superheated steam locomotives were retired by 1965, but ten examples remain, some of which were operational in the 2000s or still are today.
