BR (ex LMS) Fowler 6P Patriot class 4-6-0 no. 45503 The Royal Leicestershire Regiment. Another recent auction purchase. This model from the David Andrews kit is powered by the MSC Crailcrest multi-stage gear and motor unit, collecting power from the Slaters wheels and plunger pick-ups. Only minimal repairs and adjustments have been needed, other than a paint strip and repaint by Warren Haywood, to restore an already very well built Patriot to the top level of quality. No provenance as to the very capable builder, unfortunately.
