Hornby R3066 Class 2721 0-6-0PT 2765 in GWR Green.

The GWR 2721 Class was a class of 0-6-0ST steam locomotives. They were designed by William Dean and built at the Swindon Works of the Great Western Railway between 1897 and 1901. They were not a new design, being a straightforward development of the 120-strong 1854 Class dating back to 1890. The biggest change was the fitting of a Belpaire firebox necessitating a pair of pannier tanks, as the square-topped firebox is not compatible with a curved saddle tank. Forty-three of them survived into British Railways (BR) ownership in 1948, by which time all had been rebuilt with pannier tanks.
