Maisie is a 4-4-2 GNR Atlantic Tender Locomotive in 3.5″ gauge. The model was designed by LBSC as a miniature replica of the Great Northern Railway’s “Large Atlantic” class.

The prototype C1 Class was designed by Henry A. Ivatt as an enlarged version of what became the LNER C2 Class. The principle of the design was to produce a powerful, free-steaming engine to haul the fastest and heaviest express trains on the Great Northern Railway.

Construction of the model was described in Model Engineer Vol. 72-76 and the book Maisie Words and Music.

Over the next few months I’ll be working on getting this locomotive back into steam.
