18. GWR 8750 with 'O' gauge 5700 for comparison [P1040378]

I think I've waited close on 2 years to post these images, which I can finally achieve today, thanks to some new printed parts and a little gentle sunshine!

 

Also shown here for comparison, is my late father's 'O' gauge model of a GWR 5700 (the 8750 I modelled is a revised variant). It sat proudly above his desk for as long as I can remember, perhaps partly as a promise of the layout he never built....
