GWR Dean Bulldog class 4-4-0 no. 3453 Skylark. Built to a professional standard from the Martin Finney kit with much extra detailing including fully working inside motion. Plated on the underside “Built by R.J.Merry (Birmingham)” and “Painted by Alan Brackenborough”, giving cast iron provenance. Bob Merry I have known for almost as long as I have been modelling. He and Morgan Lewis took me under their wing, taught me about quality and we became friends. I have had one of Morgan’s models
https://www.7mmloco.co.uk/?s=sherwood+forester&submit=Search for many years. Now I have one of Bob’s as well. Top quality paintwork. Top quality Alan Harris wheels, top quality ABC gear and motor unit, top quality plates by Severn Mill, and my preferred American method of current collection. Another stunning GWR model, one of many that are being sold by Footplate, from the collection of John Glaze.
