Huh, nearly finished, all I need now is stickers!!!! I worked hard to get to the result I got - not only did I need patience to get all the parts but I had to find a solution to overcome the not available part 6222 in dark green (the 4x4 round part with hole for the dome). I found a solution with Star Wars set 7930 which had dark green stickers that covered the needed piece nearly perfectly. That way everything is 100% Lego but and the colour isn't too far off. The engine negotiates curves perfectly, I just needed to change the pivot point of the magnetic coupling so it can be pushed from a motor behind.

7mm model built by Paul Hannah from a Mitchell/JLTRT kit. The model had sustained damage by a book falling on the tender. I was asked to strip and repaint the tender and loco bodies so while the paint was off I effected the necessary repairs. Once back in the owners hands Compton Castle will be lightly weathered as befits Cardiff Cantons pet engine.

Photos of historical and preserved steam locomotives designed and/or built by the Great Western Railway. Cololur or b&w. Please provide as much information about the photo (including date, location, locomotive type, number, etc.) as possible. The aim of the group is to provide a photographic resource, particularly for modellers, so close-up and detail shots are fine. PLEASE NOTE: General 'train' shots where the locomotive is not particularly prominent, silhouettes, 'arty' photos etc. should NOT be added unless they are of particular interest from the locomotive point of view. No model photos please.
