The Class 7MT or Britannia Class, was the first to be designed and built by British Railways and began to appear in the early 1950's. The Super Detailed 'Western Star' model engine is linked with a cutaway tender and boasts etched brass valve gear, metal handrails throughout, fine scale wheels, cab detail and Midland style smoke deflectors. A ringfield motor is located in the tender.
