Newton Heath Works, the Fletcher Jennings by the Foreman's office. The loco is a 7mm scale 3D print by EDM Models and runs on a Dapol B4 chassis.

Decay in a rural environment
Quintus commented on Jack Benson's blog entry in Stuff for Child Okeford - the Stour valley
Not a garage, but in the same vein at Bleanau Ffestiniog. Magic! Photos taken 2013 -
I have a Dapol 8750 with which I am very satisfied. Running is excellent on DC. I have changed the (rather short) whistle & shield with one from Warren Shephard, and added spare lamp irons on the running plate. If the smoke box plate is not required I would think it easy enough to remove and fill the resulting hole in the smoke box door. There are plenty of photos of panniers in GW livery with a smoke box door plate ( early BR), just depends on your chosen period. The Minerva 8750 looks very nice but has incorrect tank fillers.

There was no CWR on the S&D. I was a fireman at Templecombe until the line closed in 1966 so regularly worked the whole of the route.

Excellent modelling. I built a 7mm model some years ago, and from memory you may find the type of injectors you have fitted were only fitted to the first 10 of the class. I seem to remember the drawing I was using had these early injectors. -
Don't hold your breath on this one!!

Minerva GWR Pannier Tank - open for advanced orders
Quintus replied to 81A Oldoak's topic in Minerva
The later locos with the Collett cabs also had a different tank securing strap across the boiler. These were an inverted tee section. -

Looks excellent. The tank fillers and securing straps seem to belong to the locos with the earlier cabs -
Just seen this. For the record 73001 reached 98mph on the speedo between Spettisbury and the A350 bridge. The train was the 9.55am from Bath, I was the fireman.
