GWR 850 update November 08 2024

Work continues on construction of the frames. This includes the preparation of the lost wax brass castings. All takes time! These photos are sent to me so I can check not only progress but also quality and any possible mistakes. Once frames are assembled the factory will ship some examples for me to check and test run. Once happy then work can commence on the bodies. Checking Checking Checking!!

There is a limited number of models of each version still available to reserve.
