Information

Our highly detailed Large Prairie Locomotives feature sprung metal buffers and NEM tension lock couplings for smooth running and effortless rake creation. This Class 5101 model sports a lovely green livery and is a delightful addition to any steam collection.

Designed for suburban and local passenger services, 140 of these large #Prairies# were built at Swindon between 1929 and 1949. These locomotives were a development of Churchward#s 1903 #31XX/51XX# Class overseen by GWR Chief Mechanical Engineer, Charles Collett. New to Chester West shed, 5153 entered service in March 1930 and enjoyed a career that lasted almost 35 years.

After moving to Newton Abbot in the 1940s, it had a spell at Kidderminster before reaching Leamington in 1964, which was its final shed, withdrawal coming just three months later. It was scrapped in June 1965.
