GWR Collett King class 4-6-0 no. 6019 King Henry V

Mick Bayliss Locos now sold
GWR Collett King class 4-6-0 no. 6019 King Henry V. Professionally built from the superb Malcolm Mitchell kit, with working motion to the inside cylinders, Slaters wheels and a Portescap RG7 motor and gears unit. Current collection is by the American system, where the loco collects from one side of the track and the tender from the other. The drawbar and fallplate are both insulated to prevent short circuits. Well painted and fully lined out in GWR bronze green with “Great Western” in full on the tender and the twin shields emblem of the company between the two words. A recent buy from auction. Not quite in the basket case category, but considerable remedial work has been required to get this model into the lovely condition that you can see here. He now also runs very smoothly and quietly and looks pretty good too.
