LNER G5 0-4-4T
The LNER 'G5' 0-4-4Ts were originally built by the North Eastern Railway between 1894 and 1901 and classified 'O'. They passed to LNER ownership at the 1923 Grouping and to BR ownership at Nationalisation in 1948. The last was withdrawn in 1958. TMC has commissioned Bachmann to produce an exclusive 'OO' gauge model of these Victorian-era 0-4-4Ts. Read our full collection of LNER 'G5' news, reviews and features here.
The LNER ‘G5’ 0-4-4Ts
One of the most successful Victorian-era passenger tank engines was the North Eastern Railway’s ‘O’ class, which became the LNER’s ‘G5’ and lasted for more than 50 years in service. EVAN GREEN-HUGHES charts the history of a fleet so well designed it never needed any substantial upgrades during its service life.
