Description

All aboard for a journey into history. This handcrafted British Railways 2-4-2 locomotive model brings serious vintage presence, complete with aged patina, steel wheels, and a sturdy wooden body that once traced the edge of a private estate in Pasadena. It’s an early- to mid-century masterwork that blends mid-1940s design aesthetics with the quiet thrill of old-world engineering.

Finished in rich BR green with hand-painted detailing and working brass gauges, this full-scale model isn’t just for show—it’s a testament to the craftsmanship and pride once put into rail models made for display, education, or estate entertainment. A showstopper for collectors, decorators, or anyone chasing the romance of steam-powered travel.

Additional Information

This model proudly displays the initials B.R. for British Railways and features rear bench seating likely designed for children to ride in or interact with during its operational life. From its sculpted smokestack to its riveted undercarriage, it reflects the golden age of British train design—down to its red and green paintwork and authentic steam gauge dials still mounted on the console.

Whether placed in a living room, den, studio, or gallery, it serves as a bold piece of storytelling—a relic of transportation history that also happens to look fantastic in a loft or modernist space. One-of-a-kind. Built to impress.
