Information
Features

The unique LNER U1 2-8-0+0-8-2 Bayer Garratt was built in 1925 and was the most powerful steam loco to ever run in Britain. Originally used on the Worsborough Incline on the Woodhead route it later moved to the Lickey Incline once the Woodhead line was electrified. The loco did return to Worsborough Bank for a brief period before coming back to Bromsgrove to work on the Lickey incline. It was withdrawn in 1955 and cut up a year later.

Using original works drawings and photographs Heljan have created a collection of museum-quality models covering the entire career of the locomotive and the various modifications it underwent over its 30-year life. These include changes to the smokebox, water tank breather pipes, coal bunker, handrails, cab and additional vacuum tanks. Also included is a model depicting the locomotive after conversion to oil firing, which saw modifications to the former coal bunker, the addition of a turbogenerator for the electric headlight and associated pipework/cable runs.
