Mick Bayliss My loco collection
Great Eastern Railway Holden M15 class 2-4-2T no. 650. Expertly built from scratch by Wally Mayhew, with AGH (Alan Harris) wheels and a Portescap RG7 motor and gear unit. The gears drive the front coupled wheelset, which are in fixed bearings. The rear wheelset are free to move vertically in hornblocks. The superb paintwork, who else but Larry Goddard. Wally Mayhew and Wally West were great friends and other Great Eastern Railway models built by them both are featured elsewhere in this website. In the Railway Modeller magazine of January 1971 Wally Mayhew’s Stanley to Stratford St. Andrew layout is featured. No doubt this fabulous model was a regular performer.
