The Class 5101 Prairie Tank, No.5108, as delivered. Note the hallmark GWR traits, such as the copper-capped funnel, the brass safety valve, and the other little features that cement this locomotive's place in the world.

The side profile of the engine. A classic shape, the Large Prairie type is perfect as a mixed-traffic design for the railway - in the future, it may be worth considering bostering the fleet with a second large tank engine design - possibly a Stanier, or a Thompson design, or even a BR Standard Tank.

The logo on the tank - the Great Western 'shirtbutton' logo. Small, simple, but effective, and quite different from a lot of the other Great Western engines out there.

The numberplate on the locomotive, which, coupled with the cab and bunker shape, indicates the locomotive's heritage further - with the Sumtown being based in the Northwest, the locomotive is a solid and stable addtion to the fleet.

The bunker and rear of the locomotive.

The front of the locomotive. With its funnel ring clear, and its simple yet iconic shape present, this locomotive is truly special and important.
