Saint Class 2999 'Lady of Legend' GWR Green

As none of the original ‘Saint’ Class survived into preservation, the last being withdrawn in 1953, the Great Western Society purchased GWR ‘Hall’ Class No. 4942 Maindy Hall from Barry scrapyard in 1974 with the intention of rebuilding it as a ‘Saint’. The ‘Hall’ was a direct development of the ‘Saint’, No. 2925 Saint Martin being used as its prototype in 1924 by Charles B. Collett, Churchward’s successor as Chief Mechanical Engineer at the GWR. Work on the conversion finally got underway in 1995 and, in April 2019, No. 2999 Lady of Legend made its first moves in steam at Didcot Railway Centre.
