MOC-117927 GWR Hall Class "Kinlet-Hall" Steam Locomotive Clamp Building Blocks

The model was originally designed and licensed by copernicus508.

'Hall' class locomotives were used throughout the Great Western and Western Region. Their roles were varied, ranging from deputising for failed 'locks' on express trains (and keeping to tight schedules) to heavy freight and secondary passenger services. The impressive acceleration of these engines made them particularly suitable for duties requiring frequent stops, with the smaller wheels providing greater grip and thus reducing slip when starting from a standstill. Built in 1929, No. 4936 Kinlet Hall is one of nearly three hundred Hall locomotives built for the Great Western Railway between the World Wars. During World War II, No. 4936 was badly damaged when it ran straight into the crater of a bomb following a heavy Luftwaffe raid on Plymouth Harbour in 1941. Over the course of its career, this iron horse covered over a million miles on the Great Northern Railway and British Railway networks. In 1964 the Kinlet Hall locomotive was taken out of service and twenty years later work began on restoring the locomotive. In 2000 Kinlet Hall steamed again for the first time in over 30 years. More recently this special locomotive has been used on numerous excursions on the privatised Great Western Railways system including the Shakespeare Express which starts its journey in Birmingham and travels through the beautiful rural countryside to Stratfordupon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare. The train consists of the fine green clad steam locomotive Kinlet Hall and chocolate and cream coloured passenger carriages. Information about the Moc: This Moc is designed in 8 studs wide and has a length of 56 studs and a height of 13 studs. All parts in white can be replaced with any colour as they are not visible from the outside. There is sufficient space in the tender for motorisation which can be converted with little effort.
