LNER (ex GNR) Gresley J6 class 0-6-0 no. 3592

LNER (ex GNR) Gresley J6 class 0-6-0 no. 3592. An elderly, superbly built from scratch model, with an excellent rendition of static inside motion, which in my opinion, models with a high boiler really need to fill the void below the boiler and between the frames. A Portescap RG7 motor and gear unit and wiper current collection on all driving wheels, she runs very smoothly and powerfully. The original fine lined black paintwork was starting to be a little care-worn. Too good to strip, so I have carefully masked off the good lining and spray re-painted. I’ll say it myself, I am very satisfied with the finish. Nice and weighty, not only does she look good, but if you hold her in your hands she feels like a scratchbuilt model.
