Ted writes: This loco is no. 1506, built to 7mm Fine Scale standards from an Oakville Kit. This was realy a labour of love - parts not fitting, distorted castings; a real difficult one to say the least. It necessitated a lot of scratch building and parts from other manufacturers such as Springside, Warren Shepherd, Microcast, Slater's to mention but a few.

The loco took 6 months but a pleasing result ensued. A "chunky" heavy loco like the prototype, though the model is more a representation than a scale model due to its kit parentage.
