The Great Western Railway (GWR) was famous for its variety of 4-6-0 steam locomotive classes, and none were more numerous and successful than the 49XX ‘Hall’ Class. The type was later developed to create the 6959 ‘Modified Hall’ Class which continued the successes of the ‘Halls’, operating from the final years of the GWR and throughout the British Railways period until steam ended on the Western Region in December 1965 yet N scale models of these iconic machines have never been produced, until now!

Developed alongside the brand new ‘Halls’ for the Graham Farish range, these masterpieces in miniature have been created through extensive research and detailed surveys of the preserved locomotives, of which there are several. The mixed traffic machines were found across the GWR network and beyond, and the new Graham Farish models will find many stablemates in the Bachmann range – from other locomotives to rolling stock and Scenecraft buildings – all suited to creating an authentic Western scene.

Constructed from a multitude of high-fidelity parts and decorated with an exquisite paint finish, the new Graham Farish ‘Modified Hall’ has an impressive technical specification to match. Employing a powerful coreless motor to drive the wheels through a diecast metal gearbox, electrical pickup comes from all driving and tender wheels and separate metal bearings are fitted to the driving wheel axles assuring smooth and reliable running. The tender houses a speaker and Next18 DCC decoder socket, making it easy to add sound, or opt for a SOUND FITTED version and the work is done for you, so you can enjoy realistic sound effects straight from the box on both Analogue and DCC.
