Kev. From the few details published it looks like a half cab (don't quote me!) If you want the very minimum there is this replica, now in Milton Keynes museum: Wikipedia says this: "A full-size working engine as in original Southern Division condition (pre-1862) was begun at Tyseley in 1986 and was 90% completed by 1990. It has never been finished (2019). Several rather vague articles have appeared in recent magazines (e.g. 'Heritage Railway') suggesting that work may recommence soon, with the intention of completing it by 2019" 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re quite right about the small ones not being a problem. We did wonder if some had just dropped by the show on the way to a arctic expedition or they were camping on the NEC car park Edited November 26, 2019 by chuffinghell 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart Hi Stewart Were they causing a problem in the expensive car park, knocking the heads off junior school children with their back packs or clearing space for themselves with their odour? If not they won't get reported on here as far as I can see. It is a good layout, I saw it at Spalding and enjoyed watching it but any GER/LNER/BR (ER) based layout is on a winner to start with.
