The GWR 455 Class, also called the ‘Metropolitan’ or ‘Metro’ Tanks, was a series of 140 2-4-0T locomotives built for the Great Western Railway, originally for their London suburban services, including running on the underground section of the Metropolitan Railway, the source of their nickname.
This pack has a lot of models in it, trying to represent this class evolution from 1868 to 1930.
Liveries include:
Indian red
GWR lined green
GWR Solid Green
GWR Blacc
BR Blacc
Metropolitan Red (617 Class)
