Part-built 3 1/2 inch gauge GWR Hall with Swindon boiler

An early stage part-built 3 1/2 inch gauge GWR Hall. Work to date comprise a rolling chassis, machined piston valve cylinders in gun metal, tube for smokebox with saddle casting, tender frames and wheelsets. There is a new, unused silver soldered copper boiler by Swindon Boilers - beautifully made, as you might imagine.

The small black cab roof that sneaked into one of the pictures is nothing to do with the Hall - my fault, half asleep when taking the pictures!
