Product Info

Fill your model railway layout with Saints, like this elegant 'Lady of Legend'. With sprung metal buffers and NEM couplings, this is a highly detailed model locomotive that beautifully replicates the original steam engine. You can even upgrade to HM7000 with a 21-pin decoder.

History

As none of the original ‘Saint’ Class survived into preservation, the last being withdrawn in 1953, the Great Western Society purchased GWR ‘Hall’ Class No. 4942 Maindy Hall from Barry scrapyard in 1974 with the intention of rebuilding it as a ‘Saint’. The ‘Hall’ was a direct development of the ‘Saint’, No. 2925 Saint Martin being used as its prototype in 1924 by Charles B. Collett, Churchward’s successor as Chief Mechanical Engineer at the GWR. Work on the conversion finally got underway in 1995 and, in April 2019, No. 2999 Lady of Legend made its first moves in steam at Didcot Railway Centre.
