5 inch gauge part-built GWR Manor

I sold this as a close to running chassis three years ago – I was impressed at the time at how well it had been put together, the pictures and writeup are in the archive.

In a thinning out of projects (the chap who bought it has had a 5 inch gauge Bulldog on the go at the same time, as well as model boats), it has now come back. The chassis runs on air, there is much of the platework and a cab done, Western Steam have provided a silver soldered copper boiler to their usual immaculate standard, Diane Carney the nameplates.
