Man builds £20k replica of the GWR King Class steam train
- last year
A hobbyist built a replica of the GWR King Class steam train - and it could sell for up to £20,000.
Vic Whittaker, 79, spent two years and 2,000 hours building an exact replica of the Great Western Railway 6000 Class locomotive.
The 150kg train, which is made out of brass, iron and copper, is kept in his workshop.
Once a week, the train is available for visitors to ride at Worden Park in Leyland, Lancashire.
