Ribird Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I see that Hattons has made a Andrew Barclay GWR 705 with shirtbutton. From what I'm finding out is that, 705 was a loco in painted in GWR colors but was never a GWR engine. So my question is: GWR 701 the correct number for this loco?

Ribird Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 Yes, 705 in the preserved livery from 2000. I was asking about 701, which did carry GWR livery in its life, would this be correct? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Prism Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 701 is not the same type of Andrew Barclay that Hattons is producing. Look at the pictures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
