Midland Railway “6” class 0-4-4T no. 143 as loaned to the M&GN. A scratch built model by Derek Lawrence. A plate on the underside reads “Derek Lawrence of Lawrence Scale Quality models”. Powered by a quiet Portescap motor and gears, this very old model is still in remarkably good working condition. No provenance is known as to the painter of this very unusual loco, but Dave Studley is known to have painted many of Derek Lawrence’s builds. The livery is basically Midland Railway crimson lake, but the tank sides are unusually decorated with M&GN. The Midland and Great Northern Railway took on loan three of this class of loco from the Midland Railway and this model is depicted as one of those.
