Whilst the  paintwork on this Great Western Prairie is grotty, mechanically it was finely  made in the first place and remains in good condition. The highly-detailed  Trevor Shortland design, derived from original Swindon drawings, results in a  large model, slightly longer in the coupled wheelbase than the pair of  Britannias currently in the workshop and not a whole lot lighter.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eSilver soldered copper boiler with superheaters, working  pressure 90psi.
