The Great Western 2884 is a class of 2-8-0 heavy freight locomotives that were used extensively on GWR routes between 1938 and nationalisation in 1948. In total 167 were built of which 9 survive into preservation. They were hugely popular with their crews and were often requested post nationalisation by ex-GWR engineers, but largely these requests were refused and in the main the fleet was soon replaced by the 9F.

The Dapol model of the Class features:

• Finely moulded body and tender with many separately added fine details
• Cast wheels with fine relief and detail
• Factory fitted traction tyres
• Dapols tender drive system that delivers power to the locomotive wheels
• DCC Ready
• Tungsten chassis and 14 wheel pick up
• Super Creep Motor for controlled pulling power with fine slow speed control
• Finely etched brass plates
• Accessory bag with spares and other added detail

Due to the restricted space in the tender, Dapol recommend's the Gaugemaster DC23 decoder for this model.
