£94.99
Model will be test run before sending.
The R&H 200793 left Boultham Works on 26 October 1940, heading for William Evans & Co. Old Mills Colliery in Somerset. The colliery closed in 1966 and 200793 made its way into the fleet of rail construction contractor Grant, Lyon & Eagre Ltd, at one point being used at the Cheriton site during construction of the Channel Tunnel. GLE Ltd became a subsidiary of British Steel in 1989 and was subsequently rebranded as GrantRail Ltd in August 1996.
Sold into preservation at the Pontypool & Blaenavon Railway as ‘Gower Princess’, 200793 has now been fully restored and is the yard shunter at Williton at the West Somerset Railway.
