GWR Locomotives- The Hall Class

The Hall class 4-6-0, itself being a development of the celebrated Saint class, represents the precursor of thousands of mixed traffic 4-6-0 engines that were built for British railways and were the breadwinners for all types of work and conditions. The 328 examples of both variants powered Britain through the Second World War, as well as providing the bulk of the revenue earning services on both the GWR and BR. We are fortunate that both Halls and Modified Halls survived into preservation and their proud story continues with an assured future on many heritage lines.
