ACC2972-DCC Accurascale 5700 Class - 5741 - GWR Green

5741. GWR Livery

From the initial order of 50 locomotives from the North British Locomotive Works, 5741 emerged from Queens Park works, Glasgow in 1929. Initially allocated to Aberbeeg but transferred to Ebbw Junction whilst in the condition represented here. A relatively early withdrawal came in 1957 from Newport Pill Shed. It is reputed that 5741 was the inspiration for (and number carried by)Duck in the Awdry's Railway Series.
