Foremarke Hall Steam Locomotive Posters and Art Prints

A black and white image of Modified Hall Class 4-6-0 No. 7903 Foremarke Hall, built in March 1949 and withdrawn from British Rail service in 1964.

Restoration Project This Great Western Railway 4900 'Hall Class' steam locomotive 'Dumbleton Hall' currently sits 'awaiting overhaul' at Buckfastleigh station on the South Devon Railway (Devon, England). The Hall Class locomotives were developed by Charles Collett, the GWR's chief mechanical engineer from 1922 to 1941.
