Two important jobs got completed yesterday... the springs on the trailing truck... and a very important bit - the driver!! He is a chopped around Prieser copy, with German airman's legs! (an 'After and Before' picture...) Colin

Now Callum thinks it might be based on someone, all I can say is that Roy Steele is an entirely fictional character and any resemblance to any miniature railway employee, past or present, is entirely co-incidental...

Callum Hi Callum, it's in grey primer, very few, if any niggles to sort out, so during the week I'll be masking off the bits that should be black ready to spray the body colour. Will try and get a pic... The driver is also in the paintshop and looking a little on the grubby side! Colin

MRW Digest Editor Posts: 1,654 Group: MRMT Trustees Member #6 Joined: August 15, 2006	Before our excursion to Wales the Pacific emerged from the SMR paintshop, after a little running in she is now ready to make a public debut at Cleethorpes over the weekend of 5th/6th September. A sneak preview if I may... After the Cleethorpes debut the only other chance to see 'King George VI', and indeed Shifting Sands in public will be at the Retford exhibition over the weekend of 21st/22nd November 2009. Colin

You've really caught the essence of the beastie and the paintwork look spot-on. Well done, Colin. I feel I may have to wait for Retford show to see her in the flesh though. BTW, how did you get the photo's so clear? They'd be great if you was photographing an 0 Gauge loco, never mind an N Gauge one! I don't think folk would believe you if you put the actual dimensions All the best, David
