GWR / BR 45xx Prairie Tank

Dapol are pleased to announce the manufacture of the Great Western 45xx 2-6-2 Prairie Tank locomotive in die cast metal.

As many changes occurred over their lifetime, we shall only be producing models from early 1930 to withdrawal in mid 1960’s.

These will include the curved front valance from 4540 to 4554 (with the larger bunker and the packing piece to extend the frames), and 4555 to 4574 with full length frames, totalling 35 engines

These models will have an identical specification as the previous Lionheart versions and will feature:

Die cast metal chassis and cylinders with working vacuum pump, Die cast wheels with steel tyres
Brake shoes in ABS plastic
Two styles of sand boxes in ABS
5 pole skew wound precision motor
Helical gearbox
Sprung driving wheel and pony trucks
Front and rear pony wheel trucks to operate on a cam system to allow the model to traverse R2 (40.5”radius) curves
Die cast pivoted coupling and connecting rods, plated then blackened
The footplate valance to include the packing piece for the extended version.
Two versions of smokebox door (one with fixings for B.R. number plate)
The cab roof to be easily removed (for adding a crew) by means of small magnets
Working cab doors in ABS
Chimney, short and tall safety valve casings and whistles to be turned metal parts
Wire handrails with stanchions in metal
Sprung metal buffers and screw link couplings
Full backhead detail with reversing lever in ABS
