GWR 2900 Class 2999 Lady of Legend

GWR 2900 Saint Class 2999 Lady of Legend is a British "new-build" 4-6-0 steam locomotive completed in 2019. It is a 4-6-0 standard gauge locomotive built to a 1902 design by George Jackson Churchward. It was constructed by the Great Western Society using the frames and boiler of 4900 Hall Class 4942 Maindy Hall at Didcot Railway Centre in Oxfordshire, where it is now based. Lady of Legend was constructed because all other members of the GWR Saint Class were scrapped, and due to the prevalence and influence of the class, it was decided that it was worthwhile to construct a new member of the class for modern audiences.
