Here is King Edward V No 6016, built to 4mm scale and seen on the Grand Wulfrunian. The loco is in the experimental blue that a few locos carried after nationalisation.
The body is from a Jameson kit, the chassis is Comet, with Romford & Ultrascale wheels, Portescap motor and a lot of additional bits from various model manufacturers. For the tender I opted for a bit of class: Martin Finney, and it does show.
The painting was done by me, but the lining was by Phil Coutanche with a bow pen.
