Gday all!

Thompson A1/1 made from a Railroad Flying Scotsman Chassis, and a spare old tool super detail A3. I can't remember which one.

It isn't finished. I have still to sort out the valve gear. I went through a few valve gears trying to work it out. I think I used O1 and L1 valve gear parts but I wasnt completely successful and I dont think I will be getting spares any time soon. I am building my second layout at the moment so I have some time to think about how I am going to get out of it.

The gentleman at Silver Tay models was kind enough to make me a Great Northern name plate for it!!!

I always kinda liked the look of the 'squashed' cab, it didn't last very long.

Yep this one is a bit of an odd one. Looks like they were experimenting with some things in the looks department as well as the other things. Its a bit of a beast this one.
