After 6 months of development the GWR 8000 Cathedral is almost ready.
Over the course of the month leading up to 1st May there'll be plenty of videos from myself, Tom of DDJP, Chris of EpicBanastard and Rhys of AWP.

The hype is hype!

[@steamton1227]

Basically the great bear with a church wood tender🤣 I love it regardless

[@EpicBanastard]

Well yes, except its not a Churchward tender but a Hawksworth one. And it's got many improvements over it (:

[@ninanvmd8720]

Cor’ blimey she’s magnificent!

[@alexanderbeck5063]

Very Well Done!

[@SouthernSteamProductions]

I’m SO EXCITED AHHHH

[@Lightbolt95]

So excited for this!

[@dominicbarden4436]

I take it this is essentially an 'If the Great Bear was successful and entered production' type of thing? Looks really good, like a cross between a King and a Princess Royal!

[@gquayle]

Wheres the safety valve bonnet? All western locos had them, even absorbed ones

[@EpicBanastard]

Not this one in the Drawings we went off of. it's an artist impression of it, and we've made it to our vision :)

What if GWR Cathedral Class Was Actually Built And Then It Would Have Been The GWR's Second Attempt At A 4-6-2 "Pacific" Type Locomotive After Their First Attempt Known To Be The Great Bear And It Would Been Built Between In 1932 And 1953 By Charles Collett And Frederick Hawksworth At Swindon Works And Exeter Cathedral And Bristol Cathedral Would Both Been Preserved By Didcot Railway Centre, Gloucester Cathedral And Westminster Abbey Would Both Been Preserved By National Collection At York And Was Put As Static Display Until 2000 At York Before Being Main Line Certified, Hereford Cathedral And Oxford Cathedral Would Both Been Preserved By Billy Butlin, When Butlin Died In 1980 And Both Locomotives Were Sold To Gloucester Warwickshire Railway In 1987 And Lastly St Paul's Cathedral Would Been Preserved By West Somerset Railway In 1978

I remember seeing an outline of a 'Pacific King' but for the life of me cannot recall where ....

[@blehtbh]

look cool
tbh it looks like if the king class and the lms princess royal where rebuilt as one

[@whispofwords2590]

Why is she so CHUNKAY.

[@SteamingWestwardsProductions]

She thicc

[@mindlessshark946]

She very thicc

[@SteamingWestwardsProductions]

@@mindlessshark946 But we like her so there we go.

[@eliotreader8220]

@@SteamingWestwardsProductions I am guessing this engine is the Great Western railway version of a Passific?

[@user-ig5uw1yr9q]

@@eliotreader8220 if i remember correctly, it was an experimental Pacific

[@knuckles1206]

So what are you gonna do with this cathedralz?

[@Chepstowion_Adventura]

Was this a real loco built in real life?

[@fatpigeon008]

Nah, it's a proposed design that was never built

[@Chepstowion_Adventura]

@@fatpigeon008 yeah apparently there a page on it about it speculative history and said one was preserved at Didcot so I went there thinking it was real, but of course it wasn’t build but was an idea by GWR according to the guide giving a history lesson on it, which was really interesting

[@benforster6254]

Ive never seen a gwr pasific, is it real?

[@EpicBanastard]

Fictional-ish

[@benforster6254]

Ooohhhhh. Alright
