GWR 4900 Class 4942 Maindy Hall

GWR 4900 Class No. 4942 "Maindy Hall" is a 4-6-0 steam locomotive of the Great Western Railway (GWR) 4900 Class . She was built in 1929 at Swindon.

Preservation

No. 4942 arrived at Woodham Brothers Scrapyard in Barry, South Wales, in 1964 after withdrawal in 1963. She was bought by the Didcot Railway Centre in 1974, who also bought 5900 Hinderton Hall.

2999 Lady of Legend

It was decided that No. 4942 would be transformed into a GWR 2900 Class, of which none has survived into preservation. She is now the newest member of the class, No. 2999 "Lady of Legend". [ [http://www.didcotrailwaycentre.org.uk/guide/projectitems/2999project.html Didcot Railway Centre: The Saint Project - 2999 "Lady of Legend"] (Accessed 2008-05-10)] As of 2008, she is very nearly complete and could steam in either 2009 or 2010.
