45mm gauge Aster Southern "West Country" Pacific

A 45mm gauge Aster Southern "West Country" Pacific, serial number #131/250.

Produced as a batch of 480 engines in 2006 to commemorate the company's 30th anniversary, models were supplied in both BR Deep Bronze Green as no. 34051 "Winston Churchill" and in Southern Apple Green as no.34066 "Spitfire".

Built from a kit by an experienced modeller, we've got one of each colour - whether through difficulty in deciding on just one livery or the joy of putting together one kit causing the acquisition of a second is unknown.

Complete with original packaging, display track and documentation.

The tender cab doors & works plate are present in the box, however the "Winston Churchill" nameplates and crests are missing.
