One of my favourite GWR loco's, I love the proportions of 0-4-2 tank engines, they just look "right" somehow! Built using a Malcolm Mitchell etched brass kit, with added detail. Running once again on Slaters wheels and incorporating sprung compensation. Painted using the faithful Iwata airbrush, before lining with Fox transfers.

Lovely!! The 517 class is one of my favourites too (but then I'm rather fond of most of the GWR small tank engines) :-)

I wonder if Bachmann will ever do something like this RTR. Their red framed City Class locos sold extremely well. It is a beautiful loco.
