1016 County of Hants

There have been surprisingly few locos which contain "Hampshire" or its derivatives in its title. Both the GWR's Churchward and Hawksworth County classes included locos named County of Hants. A Wessex Electric (44)2402 also carried the name County of Hampshire until 2007.

Due to easier availability and fitting in with the majority of my rolling stock I opted for Hornby's Hawksworth version, this time in BR lined black with early crest to differentiate it from my other Counties. My model is based on their R2174 County of Northampton.
