The work of a Master Craftsman!
While there are some things I would change, it is because I see it from a rail fan's view.
The detail, is great, while not exact, is far more than many other models.
While the railway workshops would build one in less time, the preservation societies would take years (sometimes over ten) to turn out a beautiful (but operational) example.
In years to come it might only be models which allow people to see a 3D image of what once existed. I say this as one watches the fabric of the engines at Newport rust away.
Keith - well done. Ford do make a transit van.

Hi All,
My son came around this morning and we managed to position the tank loco with my other 2 locos on the Display Stand. Can now understand why Cathie couldn't lift the tank loco - it's heavy. The loco looks bigger than when sitting on it's own. The lion doesn't have much roof clearance on it's stack.
Thought you may like to see the photos.
This will be the home for the latest loco until I complete the carriage. Then there will be a new stand made 4 metres long against another wall to accommodate the loco and coupled carriage.
Best Regards
Keith

Well done Keith and a good display. Perhaps a shovel standing up in the cab of the D4 could be a tiny finishing touch.
Watched part of the Titfield Tunderbolt the other morning, (it was on at about 2:30am) I did not realize the size of the firebox of line was so high.
Thank you for sharing your builds with us. Look forward to the next one.
