7 1/4 inch gauge 7-plank braked driving truck

In an area of the hobby where expediency often wins over quality of build, it's refreshing to see so much care taken with this one - a nicely detailed model in its own right, whilst being a thoroughly practical driving truck.

The dummy leaf spring and brake rigging on the chassis hides a mechanical disc brake on the inside; the truck is complete with upholstered seat and driver's footrests.
