I was doing work experience with RJH making stuff for Bob and we had a personal guided tour of the house. He had completed the Saltash bridge over the 'pond', (as he refered to it!), the wooden trestle was in the shed with the indoor layout and he was working on the pre stressed concrete bridge. I have video somewhere copied onto a DVD. We took up a Deltic and class 59 to test. Bob was very friendly and when he found out I was into US stuff, drooling over the two Big Boys, he said give me a buzz and I'll get more out of the vault next time you come up.

Trevor will recall this one, afraid I'm not at liberty to disclose the owner, but that's my railway not his, and no I'm not being shy, it isn't mine! I wish....:brokeheart: A mutual friend was doing some work on it for the owner. I understand it was an Aster prototype that didn't get any further into production.

That LNER Garratt is perhaps the ultimate in Gauge one modeling.
I never saw it but I did see lots of the Midland ones. The Cricklewood bound long coal trains would come round the triangle at Syston and on through Melton and over the Harringwoth viaduct rejoining the main Midland line near Kettering.
Let me know when your friend grows tired of it and I will sell the house!
Trevor
