517 Class in Edwardian livery

This was built by myself from an Alan Gibson kit a while back and was featured in Model Rail magazine in its previous form in 1930's livery complete with cab.

Since then it has been time-warped to represent the class in an earlier form minus weather protection for the ‘softy' drivers and firemen of the twenties. The livery was changed to the pre-1912 darker or ‘Wolverhampton' shade of green, lined out and the rather spectacular ‘Indian red' frames. The polished brass items are polished brass.

The chassis is compensated and it is a lovely smooth and very quiet runner. Unfortunately, I erroneously numbered her ‘645' .
