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. As such they were one of the last standard gauge steam locomotive classes to retain outside frames. The GWR's ex-Cambrian main line debarred the use of heavier locomotives and many of their Duke and Bulldog Class engines were life expired. To solve this, the GWR rebuilt locomotives using a combination of parts from these two redundant classes to produce 'new' Dukedog locomotives. Many of the class remained in BR service, due to them being one of the few classes light enough to be permitted onto the wooden Barmouth bridge. All were withdrawn by 1960 and one has been preserved at the Bluebell Railway.

This engine is in "as new" condition and has no signs of ever being run. It has been fully tested and runs exactly as it should.

It comes in it original box with all the accessories and paperwork.
