A most impressive engine at  over 8 feet long with its trailer, it combines superb scale detail with a host  of detail modifications to make it a practical and powerful passenger-carrying  vehicle.  \u003cp\u003eThe post-exhibition report in the Model Engineer magazine ran:\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\"It was one of the finest examples of an Atkinson steam wagon complete  with a trailer that the Judges have ever seen in exhibition. Painted in green  with appropriate gold and red lettering, every aspect of detail was correct and  to scale, with all the extras but no number on the maker's plate. The exhibit  came with a very interesting portfolio of photographs and folder of concise  information. These provided clear evidence of the materials used and the quality  of machining and workmanship normally covered by paint or the unseen parts of  construction. The drawings and castings came from Reeves supported by research.  Closer inspection confirmed that the model had been steamed. Using this model on  the highway after dark would have been well within the requirements of the Road  Traffic legislation, as the wagon including the trailer was fitted with a full  set of working lights with the switches in the driver's cab above his  head\".\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eTo gain an insight into what sets an exhibition-winner at this level apart  from other excellent models, the detailed builder's notes for the judges are \u003ca href=\"1785-1.htm.htm\"\u003e reproduced  here\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe engine has been steamed on several occasions before it was stripped for  painting.
