BR(ER) Gresley B17 class 4-6-0 no. 61669 Barnsley


This superb scratchbuilt model has just been added to my collection. Built by John Brierley and painted by Les Richards, these locomotives were the last to be designed by William Adams for the crack Pullman car Bournmouth expresses of the London and South Western Railway. This model, built using AGH wheels and a Ron Chaplin motor and gears unit, is clearly right up there with the other top quality scratch built models of the collection.
