A well-advanced 5 inch gauge GWR Pannier tank, comprising a complete chassis, beautifully made silver soldered
copper boiler, smokebox assembly fitted complete with chimney and
platework for cab.
Workmanship to date is to a good standard, the chassis rolls along freely without tight spots.
We'd put this one at around 75% complete, with the majority of expenditure on castings and material already accounted for.
