Bio
Saint Martin was first built in 1908 to the 2900 class or Saint class 4-6-0 design of George Jackson Churchward of the Great Western Railway (GWR) for mixed-traffic duties across Wales and the parts of England on the GWR's route. In 1924, He was chosen for an experiment with 6 foot driving wheels.

Livery
In A Saint's Escape, Saint Martin was painted in BR Lined Black with "cycling lion" Early Emblem and BR lined Brunswick Green with "ferret and dartboard" Late Crest.

Working for TR after being rebuilt, Saint Martin was painted in Green Western "carter" green livery with 'Great Western' on the tender.

Basis
Saint Martin is based on the real Saint Martin. The real engine was withdrawn in 1959 and was scrapped later that year.

Filming model
Saint Martin's main filming model is made from a modified Hornby Railroad GWR Hall class locomotive with a modified body. In 'A Saint's Escape', his models are repainted Hornby Railroad Halls.

Interior scenes of his cab are made using a preserved GWR Hall.

Trivia
Saint Martin is the only engine that was rebuilt by TR after purchase. In his case, to his 1924 condition.

Saint Martin is the second GWR locomotive in the series, County of Bedford being the first.
