Affording the discerning collector a Bachmann Branch-line DCC 21pin in GWR unlined green 3200 Earl Class 3214. This example is brand new and complete in every respect including accessories and paperwork.

The Great Western Railway 3200 Class (or ‘Earl’ Class) was a design of 4-4-0 steam locomotive for passenger train work. The nickname for this class, almost universally used at the time these engines were in service, was Dukedog since the locomotives were composed of former Duke Class boilers on Bulldog Class frames.

The engine commenced production in 1938 and was built at Swindon Works Wiltshire.

Of the 30 Dukedogs that were built/rebuilt, only one locomotive, No. 9017 ‘Earl of Berkeley’, survives in preservation at the Blue Bell Railway.
