An older engine that appears unsteamed in recent years, we're really taken with this one. An elegant design to start with - courtesy Charles Collett - the model has been beautifully made and nicely detailed.
Turned out in lined Great Western green livery, the paintwork has a beautiful vintage patina, presenting very well but without looking straight out of the paint shop.
The commercially built boiler by Chambers of Weymouth has had a twice working pressure hydraulic test with new certification issued; the chassis runs exceptionally well on air.
The perfect size for display in the house, alternatively - with some recommissioning - it would make a handsome performer on the track.
