I have placed my pre-order for the recently announced Dave Jones / Hattons King Henry V, 6019.

There is a wide range of choice, so why this model? Well, it was shedded at Wolverhampton Stafford Road in the mid 1930s which coincides with the time period for the Shipston Branch. But 6019 was severely restricted as to route availability, so it won't be showing up at Shipston on a reality basis!

My affection for the King 60XX Class goes back to my early days as a train spotter, certainly before I was ten years old. Platform 7 at Snow Hill was the place to be.
