Hello mikemill,
Almost all of my models have been of the "Dean" era but only in 5" gauge. Your creation looks superb and is of a standard which I could not achieve even in my chosen scale. Superb, Mike, you are to be congratulated.
Taff.

Thanks for your kind words, I to have admired the work of Dean also Armstrong I think those Edwardian engines are so elagent.
I have built a Dean Goods and a 517 class tank in 5" gauge, along with many other traction, and i.c. engines so I have a house full, thats why I am know working in G1 as they take up less space.
I am currently working on drawings for a GWR steam rail motor, to emulate the restoration of the real thing at Didcot.
Best
Mike
