Update March 23 2019
The SECR D class project is now in the final stages of assembly and the etches have arrived for the GWR Castle tender etches for the complete production.
The next phase for the Castle project is making the production sample locomotive. This will be checked by Bob Meanley of Tysley and ourselves for any final corrections. Without doubt these will be the finest Castle models every made, in both detail and quality of build.
