On nationalisation in  1948, British Railways inherited a large number of the locomotives and, in an  attempt to decide on a new livery, had three of them painted in different shades  of green - Great Western Brunswick, Southern Malachite and one in LNER apple green. They ran around like this for a few months before  the powers that be decided that they preferred black after all.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis engine was professionally built by the great John Adams of Poole, commissioned as a fine scale model of 4763, built  Crewe Works 1947. At the time of nationalisation,  whilst awaiting renumbering, the LMS engines had an \"M\" denoting  Midland prefixed to their smokebox numberplates and above the cabside number. It  is highly detailed throughout with flanged and bolted pipe fittings, sanding  gear, scale backhead, working hinged cab doors - right down to a fully  functional water scoop on the tender, retracted by a handwheel as per the  prototype.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The engine is brand new and unused, it is hand lettered and lined, the  paintwork is flawless and it would be equally at home on display or at the  track.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLength 72 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Weight approx 220 pounds    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019713630549,"sku":"2248","price":16500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/2248-1.webp?v=1779906431","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/5-inch-gauge-stanier-black-5-apple-green-livery-stock-code-2248","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
