Description
The GWR Class 1000, or County Class, was a collection of mixed-traffic 4-6-0 steam locomotives designed by the last Chief Mechanical Engineer of the GWR, Frederick William Hawksworth, in 1945. The No. 1000-1029 locomotives were constructed between 1945 and 1947.
No. 1019 ‘County of Merioneth’ was constructed in April 1946 at Swindon Works. After BR nationalisation in 1948, 1019 worked as a passenger express train to and from Paddington and was used for freight hauling duties. BR gave 1019 and other members of the class a power classification of 6MT. A modified double chimney was fitted in March 1959.Â
No. 1019 was withdrawn from service and purchased from BR by Cashmore’s Scrapyard in October 1963. The locomotive was scrapped at Great Bridge in January 1964.
The GWR Class 1000 ‘County of Merioneth’ Train Pack consists of a No. 1019 ‘County of Merioneth’ locomotive, a GWR Brake 3rd Coach with the running number 4942 and a GWR Composite Coach with the running number 6138. The accessory bag contains a polybag, a brake rod instruction leaflet, a bar coupling, a hook coupling, a locomotive brake rod and a tender brake rod. This model is DCC-ready and is compatible with our HM7000 8-Pin decoder.
