Description
GWR Churchward Saint class 4-6-0 no. 2912 Saint Ambrose. Extremely well built from scratch by Philip Preston (of Guilplates fame), his builders nameplate is affixed to the underside of the model as provenance. With fully working inside valve gear, Alan Harris cast and turned wheels and a robust single stage motor and gear unit which collects current using the tender by the American method (my preference), Saint Ambrose runs smoothly and hauls very powerfully indeed. No provenance as to who should take credit for the lovely paintwork, but my guess is that it is Philip’s work. A very capable modeller who should be credited with helping us all immensely.
