DETAILS
Designed to replace pairs of Midland 0-6-0s on heavy coal drags between the East Midlands and London, these huge articulated machines were also used on ironstone traffic and travelled as far afield as York and Peterborough until they were replaced by new BR Standard '9F' 2-10-0s in the late 1950s. This model produced courtesy of Hatton's Model Railways.
