Here we have a great start to a 5" gauge LNER O1 to the well known Martin Evans 'Nigel Gresley' design. There's a brand new professional boiler, which as always represents the bulk of the value in part built models, but the rest of the model is also well on the way!
The chassis is finished and has run successfully on air, and the tender is essentially finished, with some really nice touches, including the two little tea caddies that have threaded bolts hidden underneath them to lock in the removable parts of the tender front for driver access. It's all really nicely done with a dose of flair, so this is certainly one where all the hard bits are done! A little bit of an oversimplification but basically with fittings, plumbing and some platework this one wouldn't be too far off being finished.
As with most of our models, what you see isn't necessarily what you get!
We often photograph models pretty much as they come in to us, and then when someone phones to say they are interested we pull the model into our workshops and make sure everything is tested, sorted and ready to go. So if you see the odd model photograph with a fitting missing or a return crank in the wrong place, that's just how it came in and certainly not how it will leave.
For any more information please don't hesitate to give us a bell on 07816 963463
